Wyndham Rewards to Add 4th Award Tier, Raising Top Hotels to 45,000 Points

• Bookings made before Sept. 15 will be honored at current rates.
• If a property's rate decreases after the change, the point difference will be automatically refunded.
• Travelers can book up to a year in advance, allowing for speculative bookings before the transition

Wyndham Rewards is restructuring its award chart, moving from the current three-tier fixed system (7,500/15,000/30,000 points) to a four-tier structure (5,000/15,000/30,000/45,000 points). The change takes effect on Sept. 15, 2026. The new 45,000-point tier will apply to a small number of the chain's most elevated hotels, while the new 5,000-point tier serves as a new bottom tier. The bulk of properties will remain in the existing 15,000 or 30,000-point tiers. Wyndham confirmed it will maintain a fixed award chart with no dynamic pricing. Key details for travelers:
