A rather interesting points sale promotion, featuring an unexpected star: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. Until October 21, you can get a 90% bonus when buying at least 3,000 points in one transaction. With the bonus factored in, the cost works out to 0.684c / 0.505p per point.
We don’t talk much about Wyndham, but their redemption system is refreshingly simple: there are only three tiers: 7,500 / 15,000 / 30,000 points per night. Under this promo, the effective redemption cost comes to £37.8 / £75.6 / £151.2 for each tier. Wyndham’s website lets you filter hotels by redemption and country so it’s relatively easy to browse.
Here are some redemption examples (points cost / sample cash rate):
- Wyndham Singapore Hotel – 15,000 pts / £165
- Wyndham Garden Bangkok Sukhumvit 42, Thailand – 15,000 pts / £160
- Wyndham Grand Costa del Sol, Spain – 15,000 pts / £150
- Wyndham Grand Algarve, Portugal – 30,000 pts / £320
- Vienna House Andel’s Prague, Czechia – 15,000 pts / £180
- Wyndham Grand Tbilisi, Georgia – 15,000 pts / £200
- The Beekman Tower, New York – 30,000 pts / £360
There are plenty of high-value sweet spots globally, where this promo effectively gives you 40–50% off room rates.
A quirky part: just like Choice, Wyndham points can sometimes book premium room types. For example, 15,000 points buy you a Deluxe One-Bedroom Sea View Suite at Wyndham Grand Costa del Sol, Malaga.
Also in Malaga, at the nearby Ramada, you could even book a Two-Bedroom Sea View Suite.
Or go even more extreme: turn your eyes to Vietnam and at the Wyndham Hoi An Royal Beachfront Resort & Villas, a Three-Bedroom Grand Suite is bookable with 15,000 points!
If you are tempted, remember to take advantage of their Status Match campaign for an elite card. Elite benefits however are rather thin, although I heard suite upgrade success rate is high.
