Wyndham Rewards gives every member a free one-level status upgrade through Dec. 31

Wyndham Rewards is giving every Blue, Gold and Platinum member a free bump to the next member level for the rest of 2026. You have to register for it, and the deadline is Dec. 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET. The upgraded level, and every perk that comes with it, ends on Dec. 31, 2026. So this is a holiday-season perk, not a path to keeping a higher tier next year.

The details below come from Wyndham's own Holiday Member Level Upgrade offer page and terms, which we checked on Nov. 9, 2026.

Who moves up, and to what#

The upgrade is one level only. A Blue member does not jump to Platinum.

Current level	Level after you register
Blue	Gold
Gold	Platinum
Platinum	Diamond
Diamond	Separate offer (see below)

Wyndham's terms say members must be in good standing. Each member gets at most one upgrade. Wyndham says the new level takes effect 24 to 48 hours after it confirms you are eligible, and it sends a confirmation email when that happens.

How to register#

The registration window opened at 12:01 a.m. ET on Nov. 5, 2026. Wyndham lists five ways to sign up:

• The link in a member-level upgrade email
• The offer page on wyndhamhotels.com
• The "My Promotions" section of your Wyndham Rewards account
• The Wyndham Hotels & Resorts app
• A call to Wyndham Rewards Member Services

Registering early makes the most sense. The perk lasts only until Dec. 31, so every week you wait is a week of upgraded stays you give up.

What the higher level gets you on points#

The clearest gain is on points earned from paid stays. Blue members earn 10 base points per dollar spent on the room rate for qualified stays. Higher levels add a bonus on top of those base points:

Member level	Bonus on base points
Blue	None
Gold	10%
Platinum	15%
Diamond	20%

There is a timing rule for stays that straddle the end of the year. If a stay begins while your upgrade is active but checks out after it has expired, Wyndham pays the bonus at the rate of the level you hold at check-out. In practice, a Platinum member upgraded to Diamond who checks out on Jan. 1, 2027, would earn at the Platinum rate.

The fine print to know#

Wyndham's terms set some clear limits:

• The upgrade does not include any gifted Rollover Nights.
• It gives no boost toward reaching the next level on your own. Your normal progress still follows the standard program rules.
• You cannot use the upgraded level to status match into Caesars Rewards. That closes off a path some members use to move between Wyndham and Caesars status.
• The upgraded level cannot be moved to another person, bought or sold.
• Wyndham Rewards can change or cancel the offer without notice.

What Diamond members get instead#

Members who already hold Diamond, the top level, are pointed to a separate registration on the same page, which says "Already a Diamond member? Register now for your exclusive offer." Wyndham's page does not spell out that offer in the text we could read. Several posts on X report it as 3,000 bonus points for eligible Diamond members, but we have not seen that figure on Wyndham's own page, so treat it as reported on X and check your own account.

Is it worth the click?#

For most members, yes. Registering is free and takes a minute. The value depends on whether you have paid Wyndham stays booked before Dec. 31. If you do, a higher level means more points per stay. If you have nothing planned, the upgrade will simply expire on Dec. 31 without doing much.

Gold and Platinum members get the most out of it, since Platinum and Diamond carry larger point bonuses. Check Wyndham's member levels page for the full list of perks at each level before you book.
