Wyndham has quietly renewed one of the best status match offers around, once again with little fanfare. With this promotion, you can match to the Wyndham Rewards program with as little as a one-night stay and even unlock top-tier Diamond status with just 10 nights.
Here's how it works and the steps to match your hotel elite status to Wyndham for free.

Wyndham Status Match Overview
Like many other hotel status matches, Wyndham Rewards' offer is simple: match your current eligible hotel elite status to Wyndham at no cost, enjoy complimentary status for 90 days, and extend it by completing a challenge.

Which hotel elite statuses match to Wyndham?
At the time of writing, Wyndham accepts status matches from eight different hotel programs. What makes this offer stand out is that you can qualify for Wyndham elite status even if you're only a general member in one of these programs, as shown in the table below.
| Wyndham Gold Status | Wyndham Platinum Status | Wyndham Diamond Status | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best Western Rewards | Blue | Gold, Platinum, Diamond | Diamond Select |
| Choice Privileges | Member | Gold, Platinum | Diamond |
| Hilton Honors | Member | Silver | Gold, Diamond |
| IHG One Rewards | Member | Silver Elite, Gold Elite | Platinum Elite, Diamond Elite |
| Marriott Bonvoy | Member | Silver Elite | Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, Ambassador Elite |
| Omni Select Guest | Insider | Champion | Icon |
| Radisson Rewards | Club | Premium | VIP |
| World of Hyatt | Member | Discoverist, Explorist | Globalist |
To match to Wyndham, click here and log into your Wyndham account. Then fill out the brief form with your loyalty program details, membership verification, and Wyndham account information.
After clicking “Match My Status,” you should hear back from Wyndham in about a week — though it will likely be sooner than that.
Extend your trial Wyndham status by earning Qualifying Nights
Ninety days isn’t much time to enjoy hotel elite status, which is why it’s worth taking steps to extend it beyond the trial period by earning Qualifying Nights. If you complete a status match to Wyndham, here’s how many nights you’ll need to keep your status:
- Gold: 1 Qualifying Night
- Platinum: 4 Qualifying Nights
- Diamond: 10 Qualifying Nights
Keep in mind that a Qualifying Night can be any of the following: a night during a Qualified Stay at a participating property with an average nightly rate of at least $25 USD, a Free Night at a participating property, or a Discounted Night booked with Points + Cash.
Once you meet the stay requirements, your matched status is extended through the end of the following calendar year. For example, if you complete the challenge in July 2026, your status will be valid through December 31, 2027. But if you wait and complete the challenge in January 2027, you’ll keep your status through December 31, 2028.
That said, the promotion could end at any time. So, while waiting could get you status for longer, it also comes with some risk.
Other Ways to Earn Wyndham Elite Status
This very generous promotion gives you an excellent opportunity to leverage your status from other programs — even if your elite status is through credit card membership instead of nights in beds.
