Question 1

How quickly will purchased Wyndham points post to my account?

Accepted Answer

According to the terms of the promotion, purchased points will be deposited into your Wyndham Rewards account within 72 hours after the completed transaction. In practice, many members report seeing points post much faster, often within a few hours. If you're purchasing points for an imminent booking, it's still advisable to allow at least 24 hours for processing.

Question 2

What brands are part of the Wyndham Rewards program?

Accepted Answer

Wyndham Rewards includes more than 9,000 hotels across 20 brands in over 80 countries. Major brands include Registry Collection, Wyndham Grand, Dolce, Wyndham, La Quinta, Wingate, Wyndham Garden, Ramada, Days Inn, Super 8, Howard Johnson, and Travelodge. This wide variety of brands spans from budget-friendly options to luxury properties, giving members flexibility in how they earn and redeem points.

Question 3

How do I book a Vacasa vacation rental with Wyndham points?

Accepted Answer

To book a Vacasa property with Wyndham points, first browse the Vacasa website (vacasa.com) to find the property you'd like to book. Note the property details, dates, and number of bedrooms. Then call Wyndham Rewards at 866-996-7937 to make the booking using your points. The agent will confirm availability and process the redemption. Note that these bookings cannot be made online and must be done by phone.

Question 4

Do Wyndham Rewards points expire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Wyndham Rewards has a two-part expiration policy: 1) Points expire after 18 months of no account activity. Any points earning or redemption transaction will reset this clock. 2) Regardless of activity, points expire four years after they're earned. This means that even if you're regularly using your account, older points will still expire based on when they were originally earned. Be sure to use your oldest points first when making redemptions.

Question 5

Can I combine Wyndham points from multiple accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Wyndham Rewards allows members to transfer points between accounts but with restrictions. You can transfer up to 30,000 points per year to another member, and there's a fee of $10 per 1,000 points transferred. Given this high fee, it's generally not economical to transfer points between accounts. Instead, if you're traveling with family members, consider having the person with enough points make the booking for everyone.

Question 6

Do Wyndham credit cardholders get additional benefits when redeeming points?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Wyndham co-branded credit cardholders receive a 10% discount on the number of points required for award stays. For example, a standard 15,000-point redemption would cost only 13,500 points for cardholders. This discount applies automatically when you log into your account and have a Wyndham credit card linked to it. Cardholders also receive automatic elite status in the program, which can provide benefits like late checkout, preferred room selection, and bonus points on paid stays.
