Buying Wyndham Rewards Points: Up to a 100% Bonus Until December 31
Wyndham Rewards is giving up to a 100% bonus on purchased points until December 31, 2026. At best, a point drops to 0.65 US cents: here is when buying is worth it.
Until December 31, 2026, Wyndham Rewards is giving up to a 100% bonus on purchased points, starting at 3,000 points. The percentage may vary by account: with the 100% bonus, a point costs 0.65 US cents, or about 0.92 Canadian cents. Milesopedia values a Wyndham Rewards point at 0.8 Canadian cents: even at the top of the grid, you pay more for a point than it is worth, so buying only makes sense with a specific stay in mind.
Wyndham is one of the most widespread hotel groups in Canada, with brands such as Days Inn, Super 8, Ramada, Travelodge and Microtel. Our Wyndham Rewards program guide explains how to earn and redeem points, and our hotel loyalty program comparison shows how it stacks up against other chains.
Buying Wyndham points: the current promotion
The offer ends on December 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The bonus shown in your account may differ from another member's. Here is the best version of the offer:
| Points bought | Bonus | Cost per point (US) |
|---|---|---|
| 3,000 to 200,000 | Up to 100% | 0.65¢ |
In its best version, the offer gives a 100% bonus from 3,000 points, with no tiers. As with any buy points promotion, your account may show a different version. Sign in to your Wyndham Rewards account before settling on an amount: it is the only place your exact percentage appears.
During the promotion, Wyndham also raises its purchase cap to 200,000 points per calendar year, bonus excluded. With a 100% bonus, a purchase at the cap gets you 400,000 points in total.
How much does a Wyndham point cost?
Outside a promotion, Wyndham sells its points at 1.3 US cents each, or US$13 per 1,000 points. The bonus does not change that price: it changes how many points you receive. The real cost per point therefore drops as the bonus rises:
| Bonus | Points received for US$13 | Cost per point (US) | About in C$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | 1,000 | 1.30¢ | 1.83¢ |
| 50% | 1,500 | 0.87¢ | 1.22¢ |
| 60% | 1,600 | 0.81¢ | 1.15¢ |
| 80% | 1,800 | 0.72¢ | 1.02¢ |
| 90% | 1,900 | 0.68¢ | 0.96¢ |
| 100% | 2,000 | 0.65¢ | 0.92¢ |
To convert to Canadian dollars, we used a rate of about C$1.41 per US$1, the rate on September 25, 2026. GST or HST then applies, plus QST for Quebec residents: Points.com charges them to Canadian residents.
The purchase is billed in US dollars on Points.com, the site that processes the transaction for Wyndham. A no foreign transaction fee credit card saves you the 2.5% most Canadian cards add to a purchase in a foreign currency.
Terms to know
- Timing: points post to your account within 72 hours of the transaction.
- Status: purchased points do not count toward Wyndham Rewards member levels.
- Refunds: all Points.com transactions are final and non-refundable.
- Stacking: the offer cannot be combined with any other promotion.
- Expiry: Wyndham points expire four years after you earn them, or sooner after 18 months with no account activity.
Is buying Wyndham points worth it?
The math takes one line: divide the total price, taxes included, by the number of points you receive, then compare the result to the 0.8-cent Canadian value. With a 100% bonus, you pay about 0.92 Canadian cents before taxes, already above that threshold, and more once GST, HST or QST is added. With an 80% bonus, a point costs about 1.02 Canadian cents before taxes.
In other words, buying Wyndham points "for later" rarely pays off. A purchase starts to make sense when a specific booking is worth much more in cash than in points. Converting those points to miles afterwards pays less: even with the current transfer bonus to United MileagePlus, 6,000 Wyndham points only get you 2,400 miles.
Since September 15, 2026, free nights cost 5,000 to 45,000 points per room depending on the hotel, instead of the previous 30,000 maximum; we covered these new tiers in our article on the Wyndham Rewards devaluation. A hotel at 5,000 points a night that sells for C$150 in cash is a good deal; a hotel at 45,000 points is much less so.
Two situations tip the balance:
- Resort fees: Wyndham waives them on nights booked with points, which can be worth tens of dollars a night at a resort.
- High-demand dates: a hotel's points price stays fixed within its tier, even when the cash rate soars during a festival or a long weekend.
If you stay at the group's hotels often, the current Wyndham Rewards stay promotion also helps you earn points faster without buying any.
Bottom line
The Wyndham Rewards buy points promotion gives up to a 100% bonus until December 31, 2026. With the 100% bonus, a point costs about 0.92 Canadian cents before taxes, above the 0.8-cent value we give it. Buy only for a specific stay that is expensive in cash, and only if your account actually shows the 100% bonus.
