Wyndham Rewards is kicking off the holiday season with a promotion that gives members the chance to enjoy an instant, one-tier status upgrade through the end of 2025. The limited-time offer is available now through December 31st and gives travelers an easy way to unlock extra perks ahead of the holiday travel period.

Eligible members can visit the Wyndham Rewards upgrade page to claim their complimentary one-level status boost. The offer applies to all Blue, Gold, and Platinum Wyndham Rewards members. Existing Diamond members can instead register to earn five times the points on qualifying stays through the end of the year.
New members are also eligible. Anyone who joins Wyndham Rewards before December 31st can still register and receive an upgrade to Gold status, which typically requires five qualifying nights per calendar year. The next tier, Platinum, requires 15 nights, while Diamond (Wyndham’s highest elite level) requires 40 nights annually.
Elite status in the Wyndham Rewards program comes with perks such as late checkout, preferred rooms, and bonus points on stays. The complimentary upgrade could be especially useful for travelers planning holiday getaways or business trips in the coming months. However, upgraded statuses from this promotion do not qualify for matching with Caesars Rewards, which Wyndham typically partners with for reciprocal benefits. Full terms and conditions can be found here.
Mike Shiwdin, Group Vice President of Loyalty and Guest Engagement at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said:
We all know what travel looks like this time of year—crowded airports, packed cars and family gatherings that always seem to grow by a few unexpected guests. Wyndham is here to help. Whether it’s one night at a Days Inn, a long weekend at a La Quinta, or an all-out, well-deserved splurge at a beautiful Wyndham Grand, this upgrade is our way of reminding travelers that with Wyndham Rewards, every stay shines a little brighter.”
Anthony’s Take: While the free upgrade lasts for less than two months, this provides an easy opportunity for members to experience higher-level benefits without meeting the usual stay requirements. For frequent travelers or those planning end-of-year trips, this holiday promotion offers a simple way to get extra benefits for their upcoming stays.
