From Wyndham: a Free Night After Two Stays

Between November 17, 2011, and February 1, 2012, Wyndham Rewards members can earn 6,500 bonus points—enough for a free night—after every two qualifying stays. Alternatively, program members can choose to earn 1,000 airline miles or Amtrak Guest Rewards points. The bonus may be earned up to three times, after six stays.

In addition, bookings made on Wyndham's websites earn 1,000 bonus points for each of up to three qualifying stays.

And there's also a 500-point bonus for online bookings made with the Wyndham Rewards Visa card, for each of up to three bookings.

All in, a member could earn a total of 24,000 bonus points during the promotion.

Registration is required.

Deal or No Deal

Free award nights in Wyndham's program begin at 6,000 points for stays at Tier 1 hotels. So earning 6,500 bonus points after two one-night stays at cheaper Wyndham properties amounts, more or less, to getting one free night after two paid nights. Nice.

Because the bonus is in the form of extra points, rather than a voucher, there are no restrictions or deadlines for using the bonus, whether it's redeeming for a free night or for other options from the Wyndham awards catalog. Also nice.

And because it's easy to forget, it's worth reiterating that Wyndham is the largest of the major hotel chains, with around 7,190 hotels, including the following brands: Wyndham, Ramada, Days Inn, Super 8, Wingate, Baymont Inn & Suites, Microtel Inns & Suites, Hawthorn Suites, TRYP by Wyndham, Howard Johnson, Travelodge, and Knights Inn. That means that Wyndham Rewards members have plenty of options for keeping their stays with network hotels, wherever they travel and whatever their budget.

Bottom line: This is a meaningful bonus from a robust program.
