Wyndham has updated their award night tiers:
Starting September 15, 2026, we’re expanding to four free night redemption tiers: 5,000, 15,000, 30,000, and 45,000 points per bedroom per night. This means free nights will now start at 5,000 points (instead of 7,500) while a small number of our most elevated hotels will move to a new tier of 45,000 points.
At the same time, hotels will be redistributed across all tiers. While many will stay at their current tier, others will move—some lower, some higher—with the vast majority spanning the 5,000-, 15,000-, and 30,000-point levels.
Bookings made with points prior to September 15 will be honored at the current rate. Should your plans change, you can cancel in accordance with the hotel’s cancellation policy and have your points redeposited. If a booking made prior to the update drops in rate, the difference in points will be automatically returned.
| Free Nights | Discounted Nights with Points + Cash |
| 5,000 points | Starting at 500 points + cash |
| 15,000 points | Starting at 1,500 points + cash |
| 30,000 points | Starting at 3,000 points + cash |
| 45,000 points | Starting at 4,500 points + cash |
