Quick Thoughts
This is an easy win because it only took me a few minutes to earn a net 2,900 Wyndham Rewards points. After downloading the Bakkt app it only took a couple of minutes to register and then link my Wyndham account.
The 1,000 bonus points from that first step showed up straight away. I later redeemed 100 of those points for $0.35, at which point the 2,000 bonus points from the second step showed up.
Earning 2,900 net points + $0.35 for a few minutes of work was worth it to me even though I don’t anticipate using the Bakkt app again in the future.
At first I couldn’t get past the verify challenge, but by disconnecting from the wifi, I was finally able to create an account. I was easily able to link my Wyndham account and got my 1000. But soon after, my account was inexplicably locked. So I had to upload photos of my ID and a selfie. Now I have to wait 5-7 business days to do step two. I understand this is a financial institution, so they need to be careful. And I was glad to get some free Wyndham points. Still, turned out to be more effort than I was expecting. Of course.

I can’t figure out how to redeem 100 points. It asks for a 16 digit cash code… How did others do this?
Once you’ve linked your Wyndham account, go to the Home screen, tap ‘Rewards’ (between ‘Crypto’ and ‘Gift Cards’), then tap Wyndham Rewards. On the next screen tap ‘Convert’ at the top and enter ‘100’.
Thanks Stephen!!
I was locked out for security reasons immediately after providing a password. The flow went:
Phone, MFA, enter name/address, provide user name, provide password. Maybe because I used a Google Voice. Oh well.
Tricky app to navigate. You have to go into your linked Wyndahm account area and there is a “covert” button. All the other convert buttons don’t work.
That was easy-Now I need to research the Wyndham program to see how useful it might be to me.
I have download Bakkt 5 weeks ago for Choice points. 1k choice points did not post yet. Today I have added Wyndham and got 3k in minutes. Interesting if you can do it from the same app for different Wyndham accounts.
I can’t sign up for the Bakkt app – have tried different phone numbers but I get a weird CAPTCHA challenge and then an error message reading “Arkose verify failure”. I think this must have happened a while ago too because I already had bakkt downloaded on my phone.
Try to disconnect from your wifi and to use only cell phone network.
I did this last night. The 1k points appeared instantly, the 2k took a few minutes but when I check this morning they were in the account.
Completed my first Vacasa stay this weekend on Wyndham points. Took the family to a ski resort, had a 1br cabin with private hot tub for 2 nights for 27k total. It was sick. Have 2 more ski weekends lined up this winter through vacasa.
I don’t know what I just signed up for but it worked. Took me like 5 minutes.
Nice! Worked great to add on to 2000 Wyndham points I got from a previous promotion. I will sacrifice the .35 rather than giving Bakkt my banking info.
You do not have to give them your banking info. You can convert the 100 points to 35c and leave that 35c in bakkt. In fact that’s what happens anyway even if you do give them your bank info because apparently you need $10 to cash out.
That’s what I meant. I will just abandon the .35 and leave it in Bakkt. I didn’t realize you needed $10 to cash out, so it’s a non-issue anyway.
