Instant Wyndham Diamond status for everyone

(The offer is pulled, but the Platinum page still works.)

After years of blogging, I’ve learned one simple truth: nothing is more popular than freebies! So, here’s another one for the collection: a way to get a hotel’s top-tier elite status instantly. Thanks to @Florian for the tip.

The star of the show this time is Wyndham Hotels. Their elite status is already quite easy to get – you can normally obtain it through status matching or certain premium Mastercard programs. But now, through a specific link, you can simply claim it directly.

First, register a Wyndham Rewards account, then log in on the promotion page.

In the “Owner Number” field, enter your Wyndham Rewards member number (including the #), and that’s it: you’re upgraded.

There’s no clear mention of the validity period, but it’s likely good until late 2026 or early 2027. Wyndham Diamond perks include:

• Welcome amenity
• Early check-in and late checkout
• Suite upgrade

In reality, the benefits aren’t particularly exciting. This offer seems to be originally meant for the Wyndham timeshare program, but since it’s open to everyone, I guess Wyndham themselves know their Diamond status isn’t exactly game-changing.
