How are Wyndham Rewards calculated?

For every qualified stay at a Wyndham Rewards hotel or vacation club resort, you'll earn 10 points per dollar or 1,000 points—whichever is more. What Is a Qualified Stay? Stay at more than 9,000 hotels worldwide across our 24 iconic brands. Discover 30+ Caesars Rewards® casino destinations.



Wyndham Rewards points are primarily calculated based on a "Base Earnings" model where members earn 10 points per dollar spent or a flat 1,000 points per stay, whichever is greater. This ensures that even on a very cheap one-night stay at a Days Inn or Super 8, you are guaranteed a minimum of 1,000 points. The calculation applies to the room rate and any "qualified" charges on your folio, though taxes and service fees are typically excluded. In 2026, your status tier also impacts the total: Gold members get a 10% bonus, Platinum members get 15%, and Diamond members earn a 20% bonus on base points. Furthermore, Wyndham is unique because it offers "Go Fast" awards, which allow you to pay a combination of points and cash, and "Go Free" awards, which have a flat redemption structure of 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per bedroom. If you use a co-branded Wyndham Rewards Earner® credit card, you can earn an additional 5 to 8 points per dollar on stays, significantly accelerating your path to a free night at their portfolio of over 9,000 hotels worldwide.
