This transfer bonus is valid until 11:59PM on March 21 2026.
There have been five previous transfer bonuses from Citi ThankYou to Wyndham Rewards since mid-2023 and they were all for 20% except two 25% offers in 2025.
Keep in mind that only Citi Strata Eliteâ„ , Strataâ„ Premier, Citi Prestige and AT&T Access More cardholders get a full 1.25 Wyndham Rewards points per ThankYou point. Other cards get the 25% bonus on their normal, lower transfer ratios.
Wyndham is a tough program to get outsized value from, so let me outline your redemption options and leave it to you whether or not this is how you want to use your Citi ThankYou points. I don’t suspect there will be a massive number of you that do so, especially now that you can transfer ThankYou points to American’s AAdvantage program.
- Of course you can book Wyndham Rewards Hotels. These brands are generally low end, like La Quinta® by Wyndham, Super 8® by Wyndham, Days Inn® by Wyndham, and Wyndham Grand®. The highest end brand I’m aware of that they have is Dolce and have seen some nice ones. A standard award will cost 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per room (or per bedroom if applicable). If you aren’t fancy, I have seen some fantastic value where it’s a lower end property but a relatively expensive (for the property) suite for the same price as the base room. Check out the one in Saint Maarten for an example of that, though the resort has generally poor reviews. Wyndham also offers “experiences” you can book although at less than 1/3 of a cent per point, so they are a very poor value unless dumping expiring points.
- Book Caesars Rewards properties. If you gamble you probably get good enough casino rates to make these a poor redemption but you never know. I did use once for a Las Vegas stay where the room was over $300 and I used 15,000 points. However, even if you have a status with waived resort fees with Caesars, a stay booked via Wyndham points will incur resort fees unless….
- Transfer points to Caesars Rewards. You can transfer up to 30,000 per calendar year and they will be worth one cent a piece (or you can redeem for slot credit but at only half a cent per point). Two notes about this: One is that it can take up to 2 weeks for the points to transfer, so you need a level of planning we aren’t really used to these days. The other is that these will reset the relevant point expiration from Wyndham. Since they expire 4 years after they are earned (and this shows in your account profile at Wyndham), if you are in that last year with no plans, this is a great way to save those points.
Note that Vacasa is no longer a Wyndham partner.
Wyndham is not going to be a program that many (any?) should speculatively transfer to, but if you have a redemption ready to go, 25% more only makes it better.
