If you’ve got a trip or two coming up, Wyndham is running a promotion that could snag you a couple of free nights down the line. Here’s the gist: stay two qualifying nights, get 7,500 bonus points. Stay four or more consecutive nights, and you’ll pocket the full 15,000 points—enough to redeem for two free nights at many of their properties. Not a bad deal for just doing what you’d already be doing.
How This Works in Practice
First things first: you need to be a Wyndham Rewards member, and you have to register for the promotion through your account. It’s free to join if you aren’t already a member, so no worries there. Once you’re registered, book any stay directly with Wyndham—that means through their website or app, not a third-party site like Expedia. The booking must happen by January 16, 2025, and you need to actually complete the stay by January 20, 2025.
For a two-night stay, you’ll earn 7,500 bonus points. If you can stretch it to four or more consecutive nights at the same property (or across multiple stays, as long as they’re consecutive), you’ll get the full 15,000 points. That’s enough for two free nights at hotels that cost 7,500 points per night, which covers a lot of Wyndham’s portfolio. Just keep in mind that some properties require more points—up to 30,000 per night—so check before you book.
Also, the bonus is capped at 15,000 points total, so you can’t stack multiple stays to go beyond that. But hey, two free nights is nothing to sneeze at.
What to Watch Out For
A few things can trip you up if you’re not careful. First, make sure you register before booking—otherwise, your stays won’t count. Second, only direct bookings qualify, so skip the OTAs. Third, the promotion excludes hotels in China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and Mongolia, so if your travel plans involve those areas, you’re out of luck.
Also, note that “consecutive nights” means you can’t check out and check back in at a different hotel to count them separately. The nights need to be back-to-back at the same property (or at least in a single continuous stay). If you’re doing two separate two-night stays, you’ll only get 7,500 points per stay—but since the cap is 15,000, you could potentially do two separate stays to hit the max. Just be sure both are registered and booked direct.
Lastly, free night redemptions vary. Some hotels are as low as 7,500 points, but others can be 15,000 or even 30,000. So while 15,000 points can get you two nights at a low-tier property, it might only cover one night at a pricier spot. Plan accordingly.
Is This Worth Your Time?
If you’ve got a trip planned anyway—or can easily plan one—this is a solid way to pad your points balance. Wyndham has a huge network of hotels, from budget-friendly options like Super 8 and Days Inn to more upscale brands like Wyndham Grand. The 7,500-point threshold for a free night is one of the lowest in the industry, so even a two-night stay can yield a decent return.
That said, don’t go out of your way to book a stay just for the points unless you’d actually use the free nights. The value is real, but only if you’ll redeem them. Also, keep an eye on the expiration policy—Wyndham Rewards points expire after 18 months of inactivity, so use them before they vanish.

Common Questions
Can I combine this promotion with other offers?
Generally, yes—you can stack this with member rates or other promotions, but always check the terms of each offer. The bonus points from this promo are separate from base points you earn on stays.
What if I cancel my booking?
If you cancel before the stay, you won’t earn the bonus points. Make sure you complete the stay by the deadline to get the points credited to your account.
How long does it take for the bonus points to post?
Typically, bonus points post within a few weeks after your qualifying stay is completed. If you don’t see them after 30 days, contact Wyndham customer service.
