Wyndham Rewards members will be able to use points for stays at nearly 800 vacation rentals through the company’s Homes & Havens platform, which launched on October 29, 2026. The collection spans the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. Members can also earn points on qualifying paid stays, though award bookings come with advance-planning requirements and additional charges may apply.
Key takeaways
Homes & Havens brings professionally managed homes, condos and villas into Wyndham’s rewards program. Here are the main details for members considering a stay:
- Award nights start at 15,000 points per bedroom, per night, with three pricing tiers.
- Qualifying paid reservations earn five points per dollar, and eligible nights count toward elite status.
- Award stays must be booked at least 60 days before arrival; cash stays can be reserved online.
- Taxes, cleaning fees and other mandatory charges are not covered by points.
A broad mix of homes and destinations
The initial collection includes nearly 800 professionally managed properties, from private homes and villas to condos. Destinations include the Florida Keys, the Rocky Mountains, the Carolinas and Mediterranean locations. Wyndham says the selection is expected to grow, offering members alternatives to traditional hotel stays in vacation destinations.
How points pricing works
Award rates are set at 15,000, 30,000 or 45,000 points per bedroom, per night. That means a two-bedroom property at the lowest tier costs 30,000 points per night, or 90,000 points for three nights, before mandatory charges. Not every property is eligible for points bookings, and availability may be affected by blackout dates, minimum-stay requirements and cancellation restrictions.
Wyndham credit cardholders receive a discount on award redemptions, ranging from 10% to 25% depending on the card. Members should check the applicable terms and final cost before booking, as the points price does not include taxes, cleaning or other required fees.
Booking rules and earning points
Members can reserve award stays only by phone and must do so at least 60 days before arrival, a restriction that limits last-minute flexibility. Cash bookings are available through the Homes & Havens website. On qualifying paid reservations, members earn five Wyndham Rewards points per dollar, and eligible nights count toward elite status.
The new option gives members another way to use Wyndham points beyond hotel rooms, but the bedroom-based award chart can make larger homes costly in points. Advance booking requirements and fees are also important considerations when comparing a rental with other travel options.
