Buy Wyndham points and get up to 100% bonus

If you didn’t manage to grab Wyndham’s free Diamond status, which shut down quickly after spreading widely, they’ve launched two new promotions:

1. Receive one-level status upgrade, or
2. If you’re already Diamond, earn 5× points for stays completed before the end of the year

Not long ago, Wyndham also ran a rare 90% bonus on purchased points, which we analysed in detail. Now the offer is back and enhanced! Through December 31, you can receive an 80%–100% bonus when buying at least 3,000 points in one transaction. The exact bonus percentage is targeted, and the cost per point works out to between 0.65p and 0.72p.

Wyndham’s award chart is simple: only 7,500 / 15,000 / 30,000 points per night. With a 100% bonus, the effective cash cost to redeem becomes RMB $48.75 / $97.5 / $195. On Wyndham’s website you can filter the hotel list by redemption tier, region and country etc.

There are quite a few good-value redemptions. I covered many last time, but here are two more:

Two hotels near Seoul Airport, both redeemable for just 7,500 points.

Wyndham Residences The Palm (Dubai), where you could book a Deluxe Studio using points which would otherwise set you back over $1,000 over the Christmas and New Year period.

Wyndham still has plenty of sweet-spot redemptions, reminding me a bit of the Choice Privileges days back when hardly anyone knew about them. Enjoy it while it lasts.
