Quick Thoughts
Wyndham Rewards doesn’t tend to get a lot of attention in the blogosphere, but there are definitely some solid uses of Wyndham points.
For example, I recently used 27,000 Wyndham Rewards points (after the discount I receive as a Wyndham Earner Business cardholder) to book a 1-bedroom apartment in Midtown Manhattan (New York City), getting great value out of my points.
You can also get great value when redeeming for Club Wyndham (vacation rental-style) properties or Vacasa or Cottages.com vacation rentals.
On the flip side, Wyndham Rewards points aren’t always worth a lot. Our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points is just 0.7c per point. Even with a 25% transfer bonus, an average Wyndham redemption won’t yield a good value per Citi point. I certainly wouldn’t recommend transferring speculatively.
However, if you have a specific Vacasa vacation rental in mind or perhaps an all-inclusive in the Caribbean during a busy week, you certainly might be able to put this to good use.
Best Uses and Things to Know about Wyndham Rewards points
- Book Vacasa properties for only 15,000 points per bedroom (see this post for more details)
- Wyndham Rewards has three redemption tiers – 7,500, 15,000 and 30,000. Since these are fixed, they can be great value when room prices are extremely high (e.g. during special events or holidays).
- Book Go Fast rewards – these is Wyndham’s Cash + Points option and can get you outsized value for the small number of points you have to redeem. See Greg’s calculations for examples.
- When you book nights with points, you will not earn points for the stay.
- Most hotel taxes are not charged on award stays, so this can make the value of buying points even better. Arguably, this factor and the one above roughly cancel each other out.
- Resort fees are waived on award stays. This alone can make it worthwhile to use points instead of cash for your bookings.
