Wyndham Rewards Record-High Points Sale: Up to 100% bonus

Dolce-by-Wyndham-Athens-Attica-Riviera
To the point Wyndham offers up to 100% bonus on points through December 31, 2025. Buy at 0.65¢ each for hotel stays and Vacasa rentals at up to 60% off cash rates.

Wyndham Rewards has launched a new promotion offering up to a 100% bonus on purchased points through December 31, 2025. This brings the cost down to as low as 0.65¢ per point—the lowest rate we’ve ever seen for Wyndham points—creating excellent opportunities for hotel stays and vacation rentals at a fraction of cash prices.

This is a targeted promotion with members being offered a bonus rate of either 80% or 100%. Luckily, even an 80% bonus still offers an excellent rate of 0.72¢ per point.

Additionally, during this limited-time promotion, Wyndham is allowing members to purchase twice as many points as usual — up to 200,000 in a single purchase.

Now, let’s explore whether this deal makes sense for your travel plans and how to maximize its value.

Promotion Details

The current Wyndham Rewards points promotion runs through December 31, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST. This is a targeted offer with two different bonuses available:

  • Up to 100% bonus (0.65¢ per point)
  • Up to 80% bonus (0.72¢ per point)

To find out which bonus rate you’ve been offered, you simply need to sign in to your Wyndham Rewards account and navigate to the How to Earn section.

Key terms of the promotion include:

  • Minimum purchase of 3,000 points required to trigger the bonus
  • Points will be posted to your account within 72 hours after the completed transaction
  • Point purchases do not count toward elite status qualification
  • Purchases are non-refundable

How Much Does It Cost to Buy Wyndham Points?

Without any promotions, Wyndham Rewards points cost 1.3¢ each. With the current bonus offers, here’s how the pricing breaks down:

For members offered the 100% bonus

  • 1,000-2,000 points: No bonus (1.3¢ per point)
  • 3,000-100,000 points: 100% bonus (0.65¢ per point)

For members offered the 80% Bonus

  • 1,000-2,000 points: No bonus (1.3¢ per point)
  • 3,000-100,000 points: 80% bonus (0.72¢ per point)

If you were to maximize this promotion by purchasing 200,000 points (twice the annual limit through this limited offer):

  • With a 100% bonus, you’d receive 400,000 points for $2,600 (0.65¢ per point)
  • With an 80% bonus, you’d receive 360,000 points for $2,600 (0.72¢ per point)

This is significantly better than Wyndham’s typical promotions, which usually offer only a 30-40% bonus or a 25-30% discount.

How Many Wyndham Points Can You Purchase?

Wyndham Rewards typically limits members to purchasing up to 100,000 points per account per calendar year, before factoring in any bonuses. However, they have doubled this limit, allowing members to purchase as many as 200,000 points during this limited-time offer.

This means that with the current 100% bonus, you could acquire up to 400,000 Wyndham points in a single transaction.

Which Credit Card Should You Use?

Wyndham Rewards points purchases are processed through Points.com rather than directly by Wyndham. This means these transactions don’t code as hotel or travel purchases for the purposes of earning bonus points on your credit card.

Given this, your best options for purchasing Wyndham points are:

  • A new credit card where you’re working toward meeting a minimum spending requirement for a welcome bonus
  • A card that excels at everyday spending, such as the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card (2x miles on all purchases) or the Citi Double Cash® Card (2% cash back on all purchases)
  • A card that offers threshold bonuses or benefits based on annual spending

Is Buying Wyndham Points Worth It?

Wyndham Rewards has a straightforward award chart with three tiers of hotels, making it easy to calculate the value of purchased points. Here’s what you’d effectively pay for a night at each tier when buying points at the promotional rates:

Hotel CategoryPoints RequiredCost with 100% Bonus (0.65¢/point)Cost with 80% Bonus (0.72¢/point)
Category 17,500 points$49$54
Category 215,000 points$98$108
Category 330,000 points$195$216
Vacasa 1-Bedroom*15,000 points$98$108

*Vacasa rentals cost 15,000 points per bedroom per night when the average nightly rate is up to $250, or 30,000 points per bedroom per night when the average nightly rate is $251-500.

Additionally, Wyndham credit card holders receive a 10% discount on award stays, making the value proposition even better:

Hotel CategoryPoints Required (with 10% Cardholder Discount)Cost with 100% Bonus (0.65¢/point)
Category 16,750 points$44
Category 213,500 points$88
Category 327,000 points$176
Vacasa 1-Bedroom*13,500 points$88

When Buying Wyndham Points Makes Sense

  • High-value hotel redemptions: When cash rates exceed the equivalent cost of purchasing points
  • Vacasa vacation rentals: These can offer exceptional value, especially for larger units or during peak travel periods
  • Peak travel dates: When hotel rates surge but point requirements remain fixed
  • Topping off for a specific redemption: If you’re just short of the points needed for a valuable award stay

When to Skip This Promotion

  • Speculative purchases: Only buy points with a specific redemption in mind
  • Low-category hotels with affordable cash rates: Sometimes paying cash is still cheaper
  • When you can transfer points: If you have Capital One miles or Citi ThankYou points, transferring might be more economical

Valuable Redemption Examples

Let’s look at some specific redemption opportunities where buying Wyndham points during this promotion could save you significant money:

Vacasa Vacation Rentals

Perhaps the best value in the Wyndham portfolio is the ability to redeem points for Vacasa vacation rentals. These properties can be booked at:

  • 15,000 points per bedroom per night when the average nightly rate is up to $250
  • 30,000 points per bedroom per night when the average nightly rate is $251-500

This means you could book a 2-bedroom vacation rental that would normally cost $500 per night for just 30,000 points (27,000 with the cardholder discount), or approximately $205 when purchasing points with this promotion—a savings of nearly 60%.

To book Vacasa properties with Wyndham points, browse Vacasa’s website to find the home you’d like to stay at, and then call Wyndham Rewards at 866-996-7937 to book.
