Overview

  • Wyndham’s promotion requires members to register, then book qualifying stays by September 3 and complete those stays by September 30 to earn tiered base bonuses of 7,500 points for two nights, 12,500 for three nights and 15,000 for four or more nights.
  • The base offer is capped at 15,000 bonus points and Wyndham says promotion points usually post within four weeks of a qualifying stay while card-related bonuses may take up to eight weeks to post.
  • Wyndham allows extra 7,500-point bonuses for either Wyndham Rewards Insider subscribers or for paying with a Wyndham debit or credit card, and the program’s published terms and media readings differ over how those extras stack.
  • Coverage diverges on the maximum payout: The Points Guy reports Wyndham’s terms can reach 30,000 total bonus points for members who hold Insider status and a Wyndham card, while Frequent Miler interprets the rules as limiting members to a 22,500 maximum under the one-bonus-per-type restrictions.
  • Qualifying stays must be booked directly with Wyndham and exclude Caesars properties, vacation club resorts, vacation rentals and stays paid with points, so the deadlines, exclusions and posting delays will be the key factors that determine whether short, low-cost stays are actually lucrative for members.
