20% Transfer Bonus: Citi Thank You Points to Wyndham Rewards
Citi Thank You is currently running a 20% transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards. If you’re thinking this is a big fat pass because you don’t have much use for Wyndham, you may be wrong. Wyndham Rewards is partnered with Vacasa vaction rentals, and you can redeem just 15k Wyndham Rewards per bedroom on a Vacasa Vacation rental. This is presents a fantastic redemption opportunity for families that may be looking for units with a kitchen, etc. Let’s take a look!

20% Citi Thank You transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards
One thing to note, if you have a Wyndham Earner credit card from Barclay ( best deal found on my Best Offers Credit Card Spreadsheet ) you get a 10% discount on Wyndham Rewards stays. If you were to hold one of those cards alongside this offer…you’re looking at some very cheap Vacasa stays.
- Starts 8/20/23
- Ends 9/16/23
- 1000 Citi Thank You = 1200 Wyndham Rewards
Using Wyndham Rewards on Vacasa Property Rentals
One of the redemption options for Wyndham Rewards is Vacasa properties – you can find the complete list of included properties linked below. These cannot be booked online and you’ll need to call Wyndham to book.
- Find complete list of Vacasa Properties here
- If it costs less than $500 per night, per bedroom, it’s thought to be bookable.
- Call this number to book: 800-441-1034
- Must cancel outside of 30 days or forfeit all your points
Example in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico this fall/winter
Garza Blanca is a beautiful, oceanside, resort that has a condo element. This is an oceanfront 2 bedroom unit. As you can see this is a 4 night stay, found here, and would set you back $2689 this November. That’s $672 a night for a 2 bedroom, so it’d run you 30k Wyndham Rewards per night, or with this transfer bonus, 25k Citi Thank You points per night. That’s roughly 2.7 cents per point. If you had a Wyndham Earner card, you’d be looking at 27k per night, or 22,500 Citi Thank You per night. Wow…3 cents per point.

Overall
Could be a great opportunity if you have a use for Wyndham Rewards in the near future, especially if you’re looking at Vacasa rentals

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
