Wyndham Rewards launched a new points sale, offering up to a 60% bonus on purchases made through November 30, 2024.
Members were previously able to buy 60,000 points in a calendar year, but this has been raised to 200,000 points for the duration of this campaign (before bonus).
You can access this offer on Wyndham Reward’s website here.

Wyndham Rewards has a range of exciting use cases, including transferring points to Caesars Rewards, where Diamond members can use these converted points to redeem access to Elite Lounges.
Here’s the price for purchasing 320,000 Wyndham Points:
The price of a point under this sale is 0.81 cents each, lower than what Wyndham usually charges.
Whether it makes sense to purchase Wyndham Rewards points depends on specific use cases, such as the one I mentioned with Caesars Rewards and redemptions within the Wyndham network. As always, we suggest comparing retail prices to the cost of booking hotels with purchased points.

Conclusion
Wyndham Rewards recently abandoned its flat 15,000-points-per-night award pricing structure. Instead, hotels now require 7,500/15,000/30,000 or more points per night.
Buying points can make sense if you can use them at a hotel when the paid rates are high while award inventory still exists.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
Between November 20, 2024, 12:00:01 am ET and November 30, 2024, 11:59:59 pm ET (the “Promotion Period”), Wyndham Rewards members who purchase at least three thousand (3,000) Wyndham Rewards points in a single transaction through points.com are eligible to receive a “mystery” bonus. This “mystery” bonus will be randomly assigned to Wyndham Rewards members upon being prompted to login to their Wyndham Rewards account. The “mystery” bonus will award additional Wyndham Rewards points in an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of underlying point purchase (the additional points earned pursuant to this offer, the “Bonus”). Purchases of fewer than 3,000 points in a single transaction will not qualify for a Bonus. For the duration of this Promotion Period, the annual limit on Wyndham Rewards points purchases through points.com has been raised from a total of 100,000 Wyndham Rewards points (the “Standard Limit”) to a total of 200,000 Wyndham Rewards points (the “Increased Limit”). For clarity, (i) only underlying points purchases, but not Bonuses, will be counted for the purpose of determining whether the Standard Limit or Increased Limit has been reached, and (ii) the Increased Limit will expire simultaneously with the end of the Promotion Period, at which time the Standard Limit will again come into effect for the 2024 calendar year.
Offer is subject to change. Offer cannot be combined with any other offer. Only purchases made online are eligible for this offer. Points will be posted to the recipient’s Wyndham Rewards account within 72 hours after the completed transaction. Points purchases do not count toward Member Levels. All points.com transactions are final and non-refundable. A GST/HST charge applies to purchases by Canadian residents. An additional QST charge applies to purchases by Quebec residents. Points.com and Wyndham Rewards reserve the right to terminate this offer at any time. Points purchased are subject to the Wyndham Rewards terms and conditions.
¹More Information about Points Expiration:
Although Wyndham Rewards points typically expire four (4) years after completion of the activity for which they were earned, in some cases, they can be forfeited earlier. One cause of early forfeiture is account inactivity, i.e., the failure to earn, redeem or transfer points, for a period of 18 consecutive months. For more information on the expiration and early forfeiture of Wyndham Rewards points, please visit www.wyndhamrewards.com/terms.²More Information About Free & Discounted Nights:
