I’m not sure how recent this development is because I don’t tend to book many paid Wyndham stays, but Wyndham has a nifty (apparently not new!) Price Calendar feature. This allows you to see pricing by the night for two months at a time.
It’s nice and easy to find this feature. All you need to do is run a search on the Wyndham website and you should see a Price Calendar dropdown option for each property beneath the price.
Clicking on the Price Calendar for any given property will display the nightly pricing for two months at a time:
This feature will be particularly useful for people with some element of flexibility with their travel dates. For example, the calendar above is for the Wyndham Virginia Beach Oceanfront for the next couple of months. If wanting to stay from March 21-23, you’re looking at $265 per night + tax. However, if you can delay your arrival by three days, the price would drop more than 60% to only $105 per night.
Perhaps you can only travel on the weekend though, but you have flexibility with which weekend you visit Virginia Beach. Waiting a fortnight to check in on April 4 would save you almost $100 per night. Ordinarily you’d have to run a bunch of searches to discover that, but with this Price Calendar you can see it at a glance for every single hotel in any given area.
It’s not just the standard rate where this works either. When using the Price Calendar dropdown, there’s a ‘Special Rates’ box where you can select other rates like AAA, AARP, etc. When testing this out with the AAA rate it brought up all those prices too which, in many cases, were lower than the standard rate.
The Price Calendar feature doesn’t get displayed when running award searches, but that’s to be expected. That’s because Wyndham charges a fixed redemption amount for each property year-round, so if it costs 15,000 Wyndham Rewards points for a night in February, it’ll cost the same amount points-wise in August.
Overall, I’m very pleasantly surprised with this feature, especially the ease with which you can use it. Some hotel programs like Hilton offer a ‘Flexible Dates’ feature where you can check pricing by the night, but it’s much more convoluted and you can only check one property at a time. This Wyndham Price Calendar feature on the other hand only requires one click per property to view pricing by the night.

I’ve actually been using this feature for quite some time to create my posts about outrageously disparate points pricing versus cash pricing during specific dates on the calendar. Since the points price never changes, I simple look for the highest cash prices on the calendar, then show the CPP for a stay during that time period. Frankly, I thought everyone knew. My bad.
That’s good to know – not sure how I’ve missed that on the occasions I’ve searched in the past.
Do they have a points calendar like Hyatt?
No – points are the same throughout the year
