Wyndham Rewards Launches Homes & Havens: Vacation Rentals From 15,000 Points Per Bedroom
Loading article…
Wyndham Rewards members can book vacation rentals with points again. On October 29, 2026, Wyndham Rewards launched Homes & Havens, a collection of nearly 800 professionally managed vacation homes and villas across the U.S., the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe. Members earn 5 points per $1 on qualified bookings and can redeem free nights starting at 15,000 points per bedroom, per night.
The launch fills the gap left when Wyndham's vacation rental partnership with Vacasa ended in late 2025. Award nights come with real limits, though: you book them by phone at least 60 days out, and points cover only the base rate.
What Homes & Havens offers
Homes & Havens opened with nearly 800 homes and villas, from ski condos in Colorado to staffed beachfront estates in the Caribbean. Wyndham doesn't own the homes. They come from independent property managers and hospitality partners, including Brightwild, Simpson Travel, StayTerra and Thousand Trails. Cabins, yurts and tiny homes are expected to join in the coming months.
Many U.S. homes can be booked instantly online. Select villas work by request: you submit an online reservation request, then a reservation specialist contacts you to confirm.
Here is where the properties were on launch day:
| Destination | Properties | Type of stay |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 221 | Beach houses, ski homes and desert retreats |
| France | 87 | Stone farmhouses and coastal estates |
| Mexico | 81 | Oceanfront estates and resort villas |
| Italy | 61 | Farmhouses, trulli and lakefront estates |
| Saint Martin | 58 | Terres Basses estates |
| Dominican Republic | 58 | Villas in Punta Cana, Cap Cana and Casa de Campo |
| Anguilla | 40 | Beach houses near Meads Bay and Sandy Hill |
| Barbados | 35 | West-coast beach houses and hilltop villas |
| Jamaica | 24 | Staffed beachfront estates |
| Grand Cayman | 21 | Seven Mile Beach villas |
| Turks and Caicos | 20 | Grace Bay beachfront villas |
| Greece | 13 | Island villas with private pools |
How to earn Wyndham Rewards points on a rental
Members earn 5 Wyndham Rewards points per U.S. dollar spent on qualified Homes & Havens bookings. Qualified nights also count toward your next Member Level, which is Wyndham's name for elite status.
On a $1,500 nightly rate, a 7-night stay costs $10,500 and earns 52,500 points. That is enough for a 1-bedroom award night at the 45,000-point tier, or 3 bedrooms for one night at the 15,000-point tier.
How award nights work
Redemptions use a tiered chart priced per bedroom, per night. The tier depends on the home's nightly rate per bedroom:
- Tier 1: 15,000 points per bedroom, per night
- Tier 2: 30,000 points per bedroom, per night
- Tier 3: 45,000 points per bedroom, per night
A 5,000-point tier is expected to open as the collection grows. Because pricing is per bedroom, a 3-bedroom home in the 15,000-point tier costs 45,000 points per night, and 5 nights cost 225,000 points.
The rules to know before you book
- Book by phone: award nights are booked through Wyndham Rewards Member Services, not online.
- Book early: call at least 60 days before arrival.
- Points cover the base rate only: taxes, cleaning fees and other mandatory charges are paid in cash.
- Not every home qualifies: most properties are expected to be available for redemption, but not all of them.
How it compares with Wyndham hotel awards
Homes & Havens borrows the logic of Wyndham's new hotel award chart, which prices free nights from 5,000 to 45,000 points per room. The difference is the bedroom count. A 4-bedroom villa at the 15,000-point tier costs 60,000 points per night, but it can sleep a group that would otherwise need several hotel rooms.
Wyndham is not the first hotel program to add rentals. Marriott runs its own platform, and its Homes & Villas by Marriott promotion shows how those bookings earn. What sets Wyndham apart is the fixed per-bedroom chart: an expensive villa that lands in a low tier can return far more value than its cash rate suggests.
If you are short on points, watch our current points sales and the Wyndham Rewards points promotion running now. The Wyndham Rewards Earner Card and the other best hotel credit cards are the steadiest way to build a balance.
Bottom Line
If you plan a group trip for early 2027 or later, search Homes & Havens now, note the nightly rate per bedroom, and call Wyndham Rewards Member Services at least 60 days before arrival to ask which tier applies. Budget cash for taxes and cleaning fees on top of the points. For short-notice trips, book with cash and collect 5 points per $1 instead.

What is Wyndham Rewards Homes & Havens?
Homes & Havens is the Wyndham Rewards vacation rental platform launched on October 29, 2026. It opened with nearly 800 professionally managed homes and villas in the U.S., the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe, run by independent property managers.
How many points do I earn on a Homes & Havens booking?
Wyndham Rewards members earn 5 points per U.S. dollar spent on qualified Homes & Havens bookings. A $10,500 stay therefore earns 52,500 points, and qualified nights also count toward your next Member Level.
How many points does a Homes & Havens award night cost?
Award nights currently cost 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 points per bedroom, per night, depending on the home's nightly rate per bedroom. A 5,000-point tier is expected as the collection grows.
Can I book a Homes & Havens award online?
No. Award stays are booked by contacting Wyndham Rewards Member Services at least 60 days before arrival. Paid stays can be booked online, and some villas start with an online reservation request.
Do points cover taxes and cleaning fees?
No. Points cover the base rate only. Taxes, cleaning fees and other mandatory charges are paid in cash, so a 3-bedroom home at 45,000 points per night still comes with a cash bill.
Can every Homes & Havens property be booked with points?
Not all of them. Most properties are expected to be available for redemption, but some homes will not qualify, so confirm with Member Services before you plan around an award.
Does Homes & Havens replace Vacasa?
Yes, in practice. Wyndham's vacation rental partnership with Vacasa ended in late 2025, and Homes & Havens is the program's new way to earn and redeem points on rentals since October 29, 2026.
