Wyndham Rewards' new four-tier award chart is now live. The change took effect on September 15, 2026. Under the new chart, the cheapest hotels see a points cost reduction of up to 33%. At the other end, top properties see a points cost increase of up to 50%.
For independent travellers who collect Wyndham Rewards points, this creates a split outcome. If your plans involve budget or midscale properties, your points may stretch further than before. If you were saving for a top-tier redemption, you will now need more points—up to 50% more—to book the same stay. The change is already in effect, so any award bookings made now will use the new pricing.
This means that the value of Wyndham points now depends more heavily on which property you choose. A budget redemption may require fewer points than before, while a luxury redemption requires significantly more. For travellers with existing points balances, this could change how you plan to use them. If you were close to a top-tier redemption, you may need to earn more points or consider alternative properties. If you are flexible, the cheaper tier might offer better value. The new chart has four tiers. The cheapest hotels drop up to 33% in points cost. Top properties jump up to 50%. The change is live as of September 15, 2026.
