Best Wyndham Offer Returns: 3 Free Nights (45,000 Point Offer)

Written by Charlie

Get 3 free nights at Wyndham properties. With over 8,000 of them around the world, you can get some great value! Or, you can use the points for even greater value with their special Go Fast awards!

 

The Wyndham hotel card does not get a lot of play for different reasons, mostly, I would guess, because there is not a lot of strategy with it. The Wyndham hotel group has over 8,000 properties in it worldwide and all of them – from the lowly Howard Johnson to the most expensive Wyndham – are available for a flat 15,000 points per night.

The Wyndham credit card from Barclaycard is normally at the 30,000 point offer with the occasional bumps to the 45,000 point level – good for 3 free nights. That is what it is back up to now.

Analysis

The Wyndham Rewards program has some nice value tied to it, depending on how you use the points. It is great to know you can redeem your points at Wyndhams around the world at the same level. It is also nice to take advantage of their Go Fast awards where you only pay 3,000 points + cash to redeem for rooms. You can save hundreds of dollars per night with these awards (see this post for more on that).
