In the Wyndham Rewards program, you earn points based on the amount you spend on "Qualifying Stays." The standard earning rate is 10 points per dollar spent, or a flat 1,000 points per stay, whichever is greater. This "Go Get 'Em" policy ensures that even if you stay at a very cheap budget hotel (like a $60-a-night Super 8), you still walk away with at least 1,000 points. If you are a member with higher "Member Levels" (Gold, Platinum, or Diamond), you earn "accelerated" points ranging from an extra 10% to 20% on your base earnings. Additionally, if you use a Wyndham Rewards Earner Credit Card, you can earn up to 6 extra points per dollar spent on your room. This means a $150 night at a Wyndham Grand could easily net you over 2,000 points. Points can then be redeemed for "Go Free" nights, which typically cost 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per night depending on the property category. For most travelers, the 1,000-point minimum is a major perk, as it makes earning a free night relatively fast compared to other hotel loyalty programs.
