Wyndham Rewards is offering members a limited-time holiday perk: a complimentary, one-time, one-level status upgrade available now through Dec. 31. Members who register for the upgrade will enjoy the higher tier through the end of 2025. Current Wyndham Diamond members who register will instead earn five times the points on qualifying stays through Dec. 31.
Who is eligible
– The promotion is open to Blue, Gold and Platinum members. New members may join Wyndham Rewards and request the upgrade to Gold.
– Upgraded statuses from this promotion are not eligible for Caesars Rewards status match.
How status normally works
– Typical annual night thresholds are: 5 nights for Gold, 15 nights for Platinum and 40 nights for Diamond.
– Several credit card products and subscriptions also provide automatic status: the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card includes Gold status, the Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card provides automatic Platinum status, and the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card grants automatic Diamond status. A Wyndham Rewards Insider subscription can also deliver Gold status.
Wyndham’s intent
Mike Shiwdin, group vice president of loyalty and guest engagement at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said the upgrade is meant to make stays shine a little brighter during the busy travel season, whether for a short night at an economy property or a splurge at a premium Wyndham hotel.
Notes on coverage and cards
The Points Guy, which reported this promotion, discloses that partner card issuers may compensate the site when readers are approved through its links, which can influence how products are presented. The site does not list all available cards; its analysis, reviews and opinions are editorial and card details were gathered independently.
Bottom line
This limited-time upgrade window runs for fewer than two months but can be valuable if you plan stays at Wyndham properties over the coming months. If you want the perk, register by Dec. 31 to lock in the higher tier through 2025.
