Editor’s note: We’ve updated this post with the deals for Week Four.


Wyndham Rewards is about to reach 100 million members, and it’s hosting Wyndham Member Month — with five weeks of deals — to celebrate.

We’re now in Week Four of Wyndham Member Month. So, here’s what you need to know about the currently available Wyndham Rewards deals.

Week One of Wyndham Member Month introduced a “stay three nights, earn two free” deal. This deal works as it sounds: You earn 15,000 bonus Wyndham points on stays of three or more consecutive nights.

On stays of two consecutive nights, you’ll still earn 7,500 bonus points. Plus, primary cardmembers of Wyndham Rewards credit cards will earn an additional 5,000 bonus points after their first stay of two or more nights during this promotion.

Through this promotion, you can earn up to 30,000 bonus points (35,000 bonus points if you have a Wyndham credit card). However, you must register in advance by visiting the Member Month homepage, clicking on “Week 1” and following the on-screen prompts.

To benefit from this promotion, you must register, book directly with Wyndham by May 14 and check out by May 19. Bonus points should post to your account within two to four weeks of your stay’s completion.

As a reminder, Wyndham uses a three-tiered award chart, with nights costing 7,500 points, 15,000 points or 30,000 points. So, Wyndham says you can “stay three nights, earn two free” because the 15,000 points you’d earn after a three-night stay would be enough for two nights at a property that costs 7,500 points per night.

When you book a qualifying stay of three or more consecutive nights directly with Wyndham between March 8 and June 1, you could get a $100 property credit (or local equivalent in destinations that don’t use U.S. dollars) at select properties for stays with checkout by Dec. 31.

You must stay at one of the participating properties listed on the “Week 2” section of the Wyndham Member Month page. Most properties are in the Americas, but several participating properties are in Asia and Europe. You’ll even find some of Wyndham’s all-inclusive properties on the list, including the Viva Wyndham Azteca — All Inclusive Resort in Mexico.

The terms and conditions of this promotion state the property credit can be used for “certain food/beverages and amenity purchases.” No special rate code is required, but nights booked with Wyndham Rewards points aren’t eligible for this promotion.

Nothing in the terms indicates that you can’t stack these first two promotions, though you should ensure your stay of three nights (or longer) fulfills all corresponding criteria for each offer.

40% bonus when you buy points

Week Four of Wyndham Member Month brought a buy points promotion. In particular, you’ll get 40% bonus points through April 21 when you buy at least 3,000 Wyndham points.

During this promotion, Wyndham is temporarily increasing its annual limit for the number of points you can buy (not including bonus points) to 120,000. If you purchase Wyndham points, the points should appear in your account within 72 hours.

If you buy at least 3,000 points, you’d be buying Wyndham points at a rate of 0.929 cents each after the bonus. This is below TPG’s valuation of Wyndham points, so it’s worth considering if your balance is getting low and you usually get good value when redeeming Wyndham points.

Elevated earnings with Wyndham Rewards Shopping

Week Four of Wyndham Member Month also brought elevated earnings to the Wyndham Rewards Shopping portal. Specifically, members will earn five times the standard earning rate with Wyndham Rewards Online Shopping through April 20, 2023.

With select merchants, you could earn up to 20 Wyndham Rewards points per dollar. Based on TPG’s valuations, earning 20 Wyndham points per dollar would give a 22% return on your purchase. And remember that shopping portal earnings are on top of the rewards you’ll earn from your credit card when you use it to make a purchase.

Finally, Wyndham Rewards is giving away 100 limited-edition minibars to lucky members this month. The 100 Cooluli minibars include snacks, nonalcoholic drinks and 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points. Based on TPG’s valuations, 30,000 Wyndham points are worth about $330.

One of the 100 winners will also win an additional 1 million Wyndham Rewards points. TPG’s valuations peg the value of 1 million Wyndham points at $11,000.

This offer has a very limited footprint, with only 20 participating locations. But you can also enter the sweepstakes with just an email. Here are the two ways you can enter for a chance at winning a minibar with snacks and points:

  • Book a stay at a participating property in North America (you must book your stay directly with Wyndham between 9 p.m. Eastern time on Feb. 24 and 9 p.m. Eastern time on March 27 and stay between March 1 and April 2).
  • Email your name, date of birth, email address and the closest participating hotel to [email protected].

Each of the 20 participating properties will hold five weekly drawings during the promotion. You can enter once per weekly drawing regardless of your entry method. Check Wyndham’s website for details, including the weekly stay periods and booking deadlines.

Bottom line

Wyndham is offering some great promotions during Member Month. I’ll certainly use the “stay three nights, earn two free” promotion to earn extra points during an upcoming trip to New Zealand.

Best of all, Wyndham Member Month has one more week of promotions. We’ll update this post on March 30 once the Week Five deals are live.
