Wyndham Rewards is selling points with an 80%, 90% or 100% bonus through December 31, 2026, which brings the price down to as little as 0.65 cents per point. Wyndham Rewards Earner cardholders and paying Insider members get the full 100% bonus. Everyone else gets one of the three rates, and we value Wyndham points at 0.55 cents, so the sale only pays off for a specific stay you’ve already priced.
Frequent Miler spotted the sale on November 13 and lists the usual price as 1.3 cents per point. We read the offer and the terms on Wyndham’s own purchase page.

What an award night costs at sale prices
Wyndham charges a fixed number of points per bedroom per night. Its award tier page lists four prices since September 15, 2026: 5,000, 15,000, 30,000 and 45,000 points. Our 45,000-point tier post covers which hotels moved up. Here’s what one night costs if you buy every point at 1.3 cents before the bonus:
| Points per night | Cost with a 100% bonus (0.65 cents) | Cost with an 80% bonus (0.72 cents) |
|---|---|---|
| 5,000 | $39 for 6,000 points (3,000-point minimum) | $39 for 5,400 points (3,000-point minimum) |
| 15,000 | about $98 | about $108 |
| 30,000 | about $195 | about $217 |
| 45,000 | about $293 | about $325 |
Wyndham’s terms say a free night covers the room rate including taxes at most hotels. So compare the table with the cash price after taxes, not the nightly rate shown first. One example on the sale page is the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel at 45,000 points a night, about $293 at the best sale price. If the same night costs $350 in cash after taxes, buying points saves about $57. If it costs $250, pay cash.
Our take
Buy only for a stay you’ve already found and priced. Our points valuation guide puts Wyndham points at 0.55 cents, and our Wyndham valuation post explains the drop after the September award chart. At 0.65 cents, you pay about 18% more than a typical point is worth, so a speculative purchase loses money on the average redemption.
If you hold Chase Ultimate Rewards points, buying still beats transferring them. Chase’s 30% transfer bonus to Wyndham runs through December 3, so a 30,000-point night costs 24,000 Chase points. At our 2.05-cent Chase value, those points are worth about $492, compared with about $195 in cash during this sale. We’d keep the Chase points for airline transfers and buy the Wyndham points.
You don’t need to join Insider for the guaranteed 100%. Insider costs $95 a year and adds 7,500 points each year, per the Insider page, so it costs you about $54 after the points at 0.55 cents. On a 30,000-point purchase, the gap between an 80% and a 100% bonus is about $22. Against the 80% rate, Insider pays for itself only once you buy about 75,000 points or more, or if you already use its 10% discount on hotel rates. If you hold the Wyndham Earner+ card, which Barclays lists at a $95 annual fee after the first year, you get 100% anyway.
Skip the sale if you don’t have dates yet. Wyndham has run a buy-points bonus about every two months this year, per Frequent Miler’s list of past sales, and our August comparison with Hilton covers the August sale. U.S. Diamond members who claim the holiday upgrade offer get two free months of Insider, which also qualifies them for the 100% rate.
