Properties will cost you 15,000 points per bedroom, per night. If you have a Wyndham credit card, you will get a 10% discount. This brings the cost down to 13,500 points per bedroom, per night. These can provide some great value, depending on the property.<\/p>\n<p>All cottages have minimum stay requirements (at least two nights), but you can pay a mix of points and cash if you don't have enough points to cover the entire stay.<\/p>\n<p>This quaint house near the Cotswolds, England has two bedrooms and sleeps four. Staying for seven nights would cost you 210,000 Wyndham Rewards points (15,000 * two bedrooms * seven nights).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_251776\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/390\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-251776 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/cottage-in-wallingford-UK.png\" alt=\"A photo of a cottage bookable on cottages.com\" width=\"600\" height=\"390\" \/><center><em>Credit: Cottages.com<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h2><span id=\"Price_Cap_When_Using_Wyndham_Rewards_Points_for_Cottagescom_Bookings\">Price Cap When Using Wyndham Rewards Points for Cottages.com Bookings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wyndham limits which cottages can be booked through this partnership.
