While it's often overshadowed by bigger and flashier hotel loyalty programs, Wyndham Rewards deserves some attention, too. The chain comprises over 9,000 properties in more than 80 countries worldwide. Its 20 brands are mostly targeted to budget-minded vacationers, and include well-known brands such as Wyndham Grand, Ramada, AmericInn, Days Inn, La Quinta, Travelodge, and Howard Johnson, among others.
Wyndham Rewards members can also redeem points for vacation rentals and resorts in North America, Belize, and Costa Rica through Wyndham's partnership with Vacasa, a vacation rental platform. All of Vacasa's properties are available to book with Wyndham points, giving members access to more than 50,000 hotels, vacation rentals, and resort properties worldwide.
Travelers can enroll in Wyndham Rewards for free, and automatically receive free Wi-Fi during stays. Members begin earning points on stays as soon as they enroll in the program, and can reach Gold status — the first rung of elite status tiers — after staying just five nights.
Elite status with Wyndham Rewards unlocks perks like earning bonus points on reservations, having the option of selecting preferred rooms, receiving late checkout, and more. Wyndham also offers a co-branded credit card that makes earning points even easier.
With just three levels of elite status, Wyndham Rewards isn't as sophisticated as some of the larger loyalty programs such as Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors. But the program's simplicity is one of its strengths, as members can leverage their travel activity for rewards relatively effortlessly.
