Today’s deal from Daily Getaways is one that has gone up in price slightly over the years (was $150 and now is $175) but that is not the real part that hurts this deal. The real change that effects this deal is that Wyndham changed their reward structure a few years ago and now 15,000 points is not all you need for some of their hotels. Still, this deal has some great value if you know what to do with the points.

There is just one package available – 15,000 Wyndham Reward points for $175 and it goes on sale at 1PM ET. That makes things pretty easy for today! There are 766 packages available which is down quite a bit from what it was in years past. But, I cannot blame Daily Getaways for that because these points have never sold out their first day and you can normally still buy them all the way until the end of the Daily Getaways.
But, 15,000 points no longer are enough for any hotel in the Wyndham portfolio. Now, there are almost 400 hotels that cost 30,000 points per night. Or, you can spend 6,000 points and cash to cover those rooms. As you can guess, many of those 400 hotels are in the most expensive/luxurious markets so if you want a “free” night in any of those places, plan on buying 2 packages to get the full 30,000 points – which will set you back $350.
And, as it would happen, 2 packages is the max that any member can buy so 30,000 points will be the limit. Here is how their award tiers break down:
- Tier 1 at 7,500 points per night
- Tier 2 at 15,000 points per night
- Tier 3 at 30,000 points per night
The image that Daily Getaways used is the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach in Florida. That is coming in at 30,000 points per night or (on a random night in January) at $429. So, if this was something that you wanted, it could make sense to buy the points.
