- Get a 30% transfer bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Wyndham Rewards.
- Valid between 12:00 AM ET on March 5, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on March 31, 2026.
- 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points = 1,300 Wyndham Rewards points during the promotional period.
Key Terms
- Offer is valid for points transfers to Wyndham Rewards completed between 12:00 AM ET on March 5, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on March 31, 2026.
- Minimum transfer is 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points.
- Wyndham Rewards bonus points will be deposited by Wyndham Rewards into your Wyndham Rewards member account within 7 days after the points transfer is completed.
- Once you have transferred Ultimate Rewards points, they become Wyndham Rewards points subject to the terms and conditions of the Wyndham Rewards program and cannot be transferred back to your Chase Ultimate Rewards Program account.
Quick Thoughts
There are still some appealing uses of Wyndham points, but in most cases, it won’t be a worthy destination for your Ultimate Rewards.
Our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points is just 0.7c per point. Even with a 30% transfer bonus, an average Wyndham redemption would still yield less than one-cent-per-point value for your Chase points…and you can do far better than that.
We certainly wouldn’t recommend transferring speculatively, but if you have a specific vacation rental in mind or perhaps an all-inclusive in the Caribbean during a busy week, it could make sense. Outside of that, it’s best to wait for better options.
Best Uses for Wyndham Rewards points
- Wyndham Rewards has three redemption tiers: 7,500, 15,000, and 30,000. Since these are fixed, they can be of great value when room prices are extremely high (e.g., during special events or holidays).
- The same tiers also apply to Wyndham Vacation Club time share properties, so one-bedroom condos can be had for as low as 7,500 points per night.
- Wyndham has a partnership with DeCameron All-Inclusive Hotels & Resorts, with properties costing 15,000 or 30,000 points per night for two adults.
- Terrific vacation rental properties can be had in the UK through Wyndham's partnership with cottages.com. See this post for more details.
Things to Know
- 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.
- Resort fees are waived on award stays. This alone can make it worthwhile to use points instead of cash for your bookings.
- Wyndham points expire after 18 months of inactivity and 4 years after acquisition. The former is easy to avoid, since any account activity resets the clock, but the four-year timer is more problematic. Luckily, there is a workaround: see "How to prevent Wyndham points from expiring" for details.
