Wyndham Just Blew Up Their Points Chart
What Changed
Wyndham Rewards has officially restructured its award chart. The old system had three tiers. The new one has four. Here's the breakdown:
OLD STRUCTURE
7,500 pts/night
15,000 pts/night
30,000 pts/night
NEW STRUCTURE
5,000 pts/night
15,000 pts/night
30,000 pts/night
45,000 pts/night
3 tiers in, 4 tiers out. Simple math, complicated feelings.
Winners and Losers
The new 5,000-point floor is genuinely exciting — it's lower than anything in the old system. But Wyndham hasn't announced which properties will land in which tier. Most likely, the changes will primarily affect the current 7,500-point properties and a select few of the 30,000-point properties.
But here's the catch.
The new 45,000-point ceiling is 50% higher than the old 30,000-point cap. That's a significant jump — but it likely only applies to a handful of premium properties currently at 30,000. The vast majority of the portfolio should stay put or move down.
Most 15,000 and 30,000-point redemptions are expected to remain static. The real question is which 7,500-point hotels drop to 5,000 and which get bumped to 15,000. Until Wyndham publishes the full list, we're watching and waiting.
What You Should Do Now
1. Check your saved hotels
Log into Wyndham Rewards and check where your go-to properties land once the new chart is published. Some may drop to 5,000, others could jump to 15,000.
2. Book aspirational stays now
If you've been eyeing a Wyndham Grand or Registry Collection property, keep a close watch. These are prime candidates for the new 45,000-point tier. If you can book at 30,000 before changes hit, do it.
3. Stockpile for budget trips
The 5,000-point tier makes road trips absurdly cheap. A week of hotels for 35,000 points? That's less than a single night at some Hiltons.
4. Don't panic
Wyndham is still one of the best value programs in the game. Four tiers with a 5K floor is better than most competitors offer.
The Bottom Line
Wyndham didn't gut their program — they stretched it.
Budget travelers win. Luxury seekers pay more.
The middle stays the same. Classic hotel loyalty math.
Happy booking, Trash Panda. ✨
