Wyndham Hotel Category Changes Coming Soon
Wyndham Rewards will make annual adjustments to award pricing for some of its properties on April 15, 2026.
The company says that only 4% of hotels will move to a higher tier, while 8% will move to a lower one. That means that about 88% of hotels will remain in their current tier. But Wyndham has not shared the list of properties that will change categories later this month.
For members who book a hotel with points before the refresh and encounter a subsequent shift to a higher tier, the original booking rate will be honored. Additionally, if a member books a hotel with points before the refresh, and the hotel subsequently moves to a lower tier, Wyndham will proactively adjust the booking to reflect the lower rate.
Conclusion
It’s difficult to rate the hotel category changes as we don’t know which properties are affected. The good thing is that overall the changes are positive, judging from the numbers we have.
It’s also a good thing that you can book without worrying much that the hotel might get cheaper after April 15th. Wyndham will refund you the difference.
