Even if you go through an additional shopping portal, you'll need to save the purchase for one of the few times each year when earnings are elevated.

This means you need just 6,750 points to book a free night at participating properties, instead of the standard 7,500. Because you earn 10X points on purchases through Tours and Activities, this means you need to spend $675 on bookings to earn enough points for a free night. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you aren't a cardholder, you need to spend $750 to earn enough points for a free night. Remember, this is the starting rate for free nights. Some properties cost more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/wyndham-rewards\/bonus-points-promotion\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Current Wyndham Rewards Promotions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Vacasa\">Vacasa<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We also love using Wyndham points to book Vacasa vacation rentals.
