The latest card offering from Wyndham Rewards isn't quite what we're used to seeing from a loyalty program.

Wyndham Rewards just launched its fifth annual Wyndham Member Month. To celebrate, the program is offering five weeks of member-only deals. Each Wednesday during Member Month, Wyndham Rewards will announce a new offer for its members.
The first week of Wyndham Member Month just began. We'll update this post as Member Month continues and Wyndham Rewards announces more offers. But for now, here's a look at the first week's offer.
Wyndham Rewards bills this offer as "stay two nights, earn 7,500 points," but it's actually much more lucrative. Specifically, you can use this offer up to two times, meaning you can stay four nights and earn 15,000 bonus points. And primary Wyndham Rewards Visa cardmembers also earn an additional 7,500 bonus points when satisfying the requirements to stay two nights and using their card to pay for the two nights (the 7,500-point cardmember bonus can only be earned once).
You must register for this offer — the easiest way is to log in to your Wyndham Rewards account, scroll down on your account page until you see the offer and click "Register now." You must register by May 9 and before booking your stay(s).
After registering for the offer and by May 9, book one or more qualifying stays. To use this offer once, you can book a stay of two consecutive nights or longer or two one-night stays. You must book directly with Wyndham or a participating hotel and complete your stay by June 16. However, stays in Taiwan and China, including Hong Kong and Macau, don't qualify for this offer. Additionally, free or discounted nights booked with points won't qualify.
If you are an eligible cardmember, you could earn up to 22,500 bonus points through this offer. And if you aren't an eligible cardmember, you could earn up to 15,000 points through this offer. TPG's March 2025 valuations peg the value of Wyndham points at 1.1 cents each, which means 15,000 points are worth $165 and 22,500 points are worth $248. Wyndham will post bonus points to your account within two to eight weeks of when you complete your stay.

Wyndham Rewards is starting its Member Month with a valuable promotion. This offer is lucrative enough that I'll likely plan eligible Wyndham stays in the upcoming months to earn the bonus points. I have an eligible Wyndham Rewards card, so I'll earn 22,500 bonus points if I stay at least four nights and pay for at least two nights with my card.
Wyndham Rewards will announce its second Member Month offer on March 12. Let's hope it's just as exciting an offer as this week's.

This week, on the evening of March 13 and into the morning of March 14, the moon will slide into Earth’s shadow, creating a wondrous and graceful event: a total lunar eclipse. The whole show, over three hours long, will be visible across almost the entirety of North America, Central America, and most of South America. From western Africa the moon will set while still eclipsed, and in extreme eastern Russia the moon will rise already in eclipse.
Many airlines offer hotel booking platforms where you can earn extra miles on hotel stays, but the earning rates (typically fewer than 10 miles per dollar) aren't very appealing. On Southwest Hotels, you can book "Points Plus" properties that earn anywhere from 5 to 25 Southwest Rapid Rewards points per dollar. That's a lot of points toward your next free flight.
