Do you find it difficult to find hotels or vacation rentals for your family of 5 plus? Be sure to read this guest post by Jenn at Pointing The Way To Memories who has put together a great guide with several different ways you can use your points to book properties for larger families!

Wyndham Properties You Can Book For A Large Family On Points

If you have more than four people in your family, you know how challenging it can be to find accommodations - let alone accommodations on points! What if I told you there’s a little known secret in the points and miles world for large families? Enter: Wyndham.

Now I don’t mean using Wyndham points for Vacasa rentals. We know that’s a great option- and if you want to learn all about it, you can do so here. I’m talking about using Wyndham points to book Wyndham properties. More specifically - their timeshare properties. These properties are condos which means your large family will have more than enough room to spread out.

Wyndham has a significant amount of timeshare properties through WorldMark and Club Wyndham that are bookable on points! And the great news is that they follow Wyndham’s award pricing structure. You can get a 10% discount on your award booking just by holding the right card. I’ll get to that in a bit.

Points Needed for WorldMark and Club Wyndham Properties:

One Bedroom - 15,000 points per night

Two Bedrooms - 30,000 points per night

Three Bedrooms - 45,000 points per night

Cards That Earn Wyndham Points

Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card ($0 annual fee)

Wyndham Rewards Earner® Plus Card ($75 annual fee)

Wyndham Rewards Earner® Business Card ($95 annual fee)

Each of these Wyndham credit cards come with a unique perk - it unlocks an automatic 10% discount on all award bookings!

Flexible Credit Cards That Transfer to Wyndham

Capital One Venture X Business Card

Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card

*All Capital One Miles earning cards transfer to Wyndham at a 1:1 ratio.

** In order to convert cash back earned from Capital One Spark cards into Venture Miles, you must also hold a Venture Miles earning credit card.

Citi Strata Premier® Card
Citi Prestige® Card no longer open to new applicants

Citi Custom Cash® Card

Citi Double Cash® Card

Citi Rewards+® Card

Note that Citi’s no annual fee cards need to be paired with a Citi Strata Premier or Citi Prestige in order to get the best transfer ratio (1:1). Without holding one of those two cards, the no annual fee cards will transfer to Wyndham at a worse ratio- 1:0.8 currently and 1:0.7 beginning July 27, 2025.

The Bottom Line

Wyndham may just be a hidden gem for larger families who are wanting the comforts of condo life, while still using their points. Keep in mind that Wyndham points expire 48 months after they are earned. No exceptions. Cash prices can fluctuate for these properties so always compare the cash rate prior to booking. Those two points aside, Wyndham is a strong contender in the points and miles space for families. Be right back, I better go use up my Wyndham points!
