Update: This has now been confirmed.
Currently Wyndham charges a flat 15,000 points per night for any standard room, this means it’s easy to get some outsized value at the higher end properties they offer. According to imnion Wyndham is planning on moving to a tiered rewards system, they shared with me how they know this information and I’d consider it reliable. There is always a chance somebody is just making up the information/information is incorrect but in my opinion this seems legit (I know some readers like a percentages of a rumor being true, I’d give this 70%).
We don’t know when this new tiered system would be introduced or if there will be a period after it’s announced allowing members to redeem points at the current flat 15,000 points per night price. If I had to guess I’d suspect there would be a grace period to book at this 15,000 price, but who knows. Personally I think this would likely kill the Wyndham program for my purposes unless a lot of properties were added to the 7,500 point price point, I don’t personally see that happening but who knows.
