Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is the largest U.S. hotel chain by property count — about 9,000 hotels — concentrated in mid-scale and economy brands like Days Inn, Super 8, La Quinta, and Ramada, with a smaller upscale presence under Wyndham Grand and the Registry Collection. Wyndham Rewards uses a flat or tiered award chart with redemptions starting at 7,500 points per night, and the program partners with Vacasa for full vacation-rental redemptions — a quirk that gives Wyndham points unusual reach for an economy-leaning chain. Direct bookings at wyndhamhotels.com or in the app earn points; OTA stays do not. Co-brand cards run lower annual fees than the major chains' cards, matching the program's value-tier identity.
