Just like Best Western, Wyndham is an unpopular hotel chain and loyal program due to the lack of aspiration properties and meaningful member benefits.
Unlike Best Western, Wyndham runs a lot of ludicrous promotions, and when stacked they can generate a huge amount of bonus points after just a couple stays. Using them wisely you can build up your Wyndham Rewards balance very quickly and earn a lot of free nights.
There are two offers that you can benefit from at the moment.
Stay Twice & Earn a Free Night
- Book by September 2
- Stay by September 6
- Stay twice to earn 7,500 points
- Redeemable twice
- Book by August 14 on the mobile app or a mobile browser
- Stay once by September 30
- Stay three nights to earn 14,000 points, or two nights to earn 7,500 points
- Redeemable once
I believe only paid stays count. The second promotion is titled Travel to Europe and is advertised as a Shell gift card offer. However both are misleading – there’s no region restrictions and you just earn bonus Wyndham points which you don’t have to convert to Shell gift cards.
If you stay twice (3 nights + 1 night) you should earn 7,500 + 14,000 = 21,500 bonus points. With Wyndham Rewards a free night starts at 7,500 points, which means that’s almost enough for three free nights at their lower-end properties.
