The Wyndham Points Calculator will calculate how many Wyndham Rewards Points you can earn based on spend at Wyndham brand hotels, your elite status with Wyndham, and whether or not you use one of Wyndham's three Earner rewards credit cards. This page also breaks down how points are calculated with respect to base points, elite status points, and credit card points.
Wyndham Points Calculator For Stays
The Wyndham Points Calculator will calculate total Wyndham Points based on spend, elite status, and Wyndham credit card usage. Remember that you will not earn base points on taxes and fees.
Getting Started and Things To Note
Wyndham Rewards Points are primarily earned booking hotel stays at Wyndham brand hotels. Before diving into how these points are calculated, there's a few other things you'll want to note in order to make sure you're receiving credit for your hotel bookings.
Sign Up For A Wyndham Rewards Account
In order to earn points in the Wyndham Rewards program, one must have a Wyndham Rewards account. Signing up for a Wyndham Rewards account is free and I recommend doing so even if you only plan on staying at Wyndham a few times during the year.

Book Direct With Wyndham
You'll earn Wyndham Rewards Points when you book directly through Wyndham. This means you'll need to book your hotel stay use wyndham.com, Wyndham brand websites, the Wyndham mobile app, or via the Wyndham reservation line. Using third party services such as Expedia, Hotels.com, or Agoda.com, will not count as booking direct and you will not earn any Wyndham Rewards Points.

How To Calculate
When staying at Wyndham brand hotels, you will earn base points per $1 spent at their properties. Along with base points, you'll be able to earn additional points based on Wyndham Elite Status and with Wyndham credit cards.
Wyndham Base Points
You will earn 10 Wyndham Base Points per $1 spent on the base rate of the room at Wyndham brand hotels with a minimum 1,000 points per stay. So stays that cost you $100 or less will still give you a great return on points.
The base hotel rate is the price shown to you before taxes are added.
As an example, if your Wyndham Hotel stay costs you $200 before taxes/fees, you would earn a total of 2,000 Wyndham Rewards Points. If your stay costs $354 before taxes, you would earn 3,540 Wyndham Rewards Points. If you had a really short and/or cheap stay that cost you $100 or lower, you would earn 1,000 Wyndham Points due to that being the minimum number of points you can earn on a stay.
Wyndham Elite Status Points
As you progress through the Wyndham Rewards Membership levels, you'll be able to earn additional bonus points thanks to the accelerated earning benefit. Based on your level, this will give you bonus points on top of the base points you earn as a member:
- Blue Member: No Bonus
- Gold Member: 10% Bonus
- Platinum Member: 15% Bonus
- Diamond Member: 20% Bonus
For example, if you were a Wyndham Rewards Gold Member you would earn a 10% bonus 10% on top of the 10 base points you would normally earn. This means you would earn an additional 1 point per $1 spent for a total of 11 points. As a Platinum member you would receive a bonus 1.5 points for a total of 11.5 points and an additional 2 bonus points as Diamond for a total of 12 points per $1 spent. These bonuses don't sound like a lot, but Wyndham Rewards Points have decent value which still makes these bonuses worth it in the long run.
Wyndham Credit Card Points
Along with earning base points and elite points, you can earn additional Wyndham Rewards Points by using Wyndham credit cards offered by Barclays. The Wyndham Earner Visa Card will earn you 5x points per $1 spent, the Wyndham Earner+ Visa Card will earn you 6x points per $1 spent, and the Wyndham Earner Business Visa Card will earn you 8x points per $1 spent.
Earn more Wyndham Points with Wyndham's line-up of credit cards.
Wyndham Points earned via credit card spend will be for the entire cost of the hotel stay including taxes and fees. So if the total cost of your Wyndham stay is $500 (with taxes included) then you would earn either 2,500 (5x), 3,000 (6x), or 4,000 (8x) Wyndham Rewards Points depending on which Wyndham credit card you would use.
Summary
The Wyndham Rewards Program offers you the ability to earn up to 20 points per $1 spent which can be pretty good if you're able to redeem your Wyndham Points for great value.
