A month to the day since Wyndham Rewards was added as a transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, they’ve been added as a partner of another transferable points program: Bilt Rewards.
Similar to Chase Ultimate Rewards, and all the other major transferable currencies it’s a partner of, transfers are on a 1:1 basis. Therefore, as with all those other transferable currencies, transfers to Wyndham are a poor use of your points. Our Reasonable Redemption Value (RRV) for Wyndham is 0.7 cents per point whereas our RRV for transferable currencies is always at least double that.
Besides, you can often buy Wyndham points for ~0.7 cents per point; case in point, they just launched a new points sale today which drops the cost to 0.65 cents per point.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Bilt offers some kind of transfer bonus to Wyndham in the next few months; perhaps a bonus of up to 200% for Platinum members. Even that wouldn’t be too tempting though because their transfer bonuses to other partners tend to yield even more value than that.
