Earning Wyndham Points
For every stay at one of the thousands of participating Wyndham hotels worldwide, members earn 10 points per dollar spent or 1,000 points, whichever is higher.
You can also earn points on online purchases, activity bookings, and dining experiences, as well as car rentals with partner companies.
Using Wyndham Rewards Points
The Go Free rewards program lets you redeem 7,500 to 30,000 Wyndham Rewards points for a free room at a hotel or resort.
Points can also be used to get a discounted rate at hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals with the Go Fast program.
Finally, in Canada, points can be applied to car rentals, transferred to airlines, or used to purchase gift cards.
Wyndham Rewards Status
There are four membership statuses, each offering enhanced benefits over the last. Status earned is valid through the end of the following calendar year. Benefits include free or discounted nights, preferred room choice, accelerated point earning, late check-out, early check-in, upgrades, etc.
Blue: upon signup
Gold: after 5 nights
Platinum: after 15 nights
Diamond: after 40 nights
Credit Cards

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you sign up for the Wyndham Rewards program?
- You can sign up online,
- At one of the participating hotels,
- Or by calling 1-866-996-7937.
How many Wyndham points do you earn per dollar?
10 points per dollar spent or 1,000 points. Whichever amount is higher will apply.
How many Wyndham points for a free night?
Wyndham Rewards uses a simple award chart with 3 fixed tiers, one of the most predictable models on the market:
- 7,500 points/night: economy hotels (Days Inn, Super 8, Travelodge, Microtel)
- 15,000 points/night: midscale segment (La Quinta, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Wyndham Garden)
- 30,000 points/night: upscale (Wyndham Grand, Dolce, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts)
No dynamic pricing, no blackout dates. A night at a $100 Days Inn for 7,500 points works out to 1.3 cents per point, putting Wyndham among the most rewarding programs for economy hotels.
What are the Wyndham Rewards elite status tiers?
Wyndham Rewards has four status tiers:
- Blue (base): 10 points per dollar spent
- Gold (5 nights): late check-out, member welcome
- Platinum (15 nights): early check-in, Caesars Rewards status match, Avis/Budget upgrades, +15% points bonus
- Diamond (40 nights): suite upgrade subject to availability, welcome amenity (snack or drink depending on the brand), +20% bonus
Compared to Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors, the thresholds are very accessible: 5 nights for Gold and 15 nights for Platinum. It’s one of the easiest programs to make worthwhile for an occasional traveler who stays a few times a year at Days Inn or La Quinta.
Does the Wyndham and Vacasa partnership still exist?
The partnership between Wyndham Rewards and Vacasa, a US vacation rental manager, has ended. The last bookings could be made until November 30, 2025, for stays completed by January 31, 2026 at the latest. Since then, it’s no longer possible to book a Vacasa property with Wyndham points.
For family vacations, Wyndham points remain usable for standard hotel nights through the Go Free program, but travelers who were looking for a cabin or condo will now need to turn to Airbnb or Vrbo and pay cash. For detailed comparisons, check out our complete guide to loyalty programs.
Is there a Wyndham credit card in Canada?
No — in Canada, no credit card lets you earn Wyndham Rewards points directly. In the United States, the Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card (Barclays) offers 6X on Wyndham, but it’s reserved for US residents.
For a Canadian traveler, the best strategies are:
- Book your stays directly on wyndhamhotels.com
- Sign up for the seasonal promotion (often 3,000 bonus points after 2 nights)
- Use a no-foreign-transaction-fee card such as the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card
- Combine with a Status Match via Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors (Wyndham occasionally grants equivalent status)
