Good morning everyone, I hope your week is going well. I’ve been a huge fan of Vacasa Vacation Rentals using Wyndham Rewards Points and have booked 6 Vacasa properties in California and Hawaii over the last few years. Back in October, Frequent Miler discovered that Vacasa now has a lower cap on reservations booked with WR Points. You can now only redeem WR Points if the price per bedroom per night is $350 or less, down from the previous $500 per bedroom per night. That is a major blow to the value you could get booking Vacasa Vacation Rentals.
Here is the current chart that shows the price in dollars and WR Points needed, based on the number of bedrooms and the average nightly price (including taxes and fees). If you have a Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus or Earner Business credit card, you get a 10% discount on the number of WR Points needed. Based on those numbers, the maximum cents per point (CPP) is 2.33 CPP for all members and 2.59 CPP for Earner Plus and Earner Business CC members.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well. A few weeks ago, Laura and I went to Hawaii for vacation. During that trip, we stayed at a total of 3 Vacasa Vacation Rentals on Maui and Oahu. I have 7 different Vacasa stays under my belt, so I wanted to reach out to readers to see if they had any questions about booking or staying at Vacasa properties. A few months ago, I wrote Stop Ignoring Vacasa Vacation Rentals! Get Awesome Condos for 13,500 Wyndham Rewards Points per Night. I also wrote Booking Vacasa Vacation Rentals with Wyndham Rewards Points is Really Easy (Just Call). With that said, here are the Vacasa properties and dates of my past stays:
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. A few days ago, I booked 3 more Vacasa Vacation Rentals for an upcoming trip to Maui and Oahu. I am a huge fan of Vacasa (especially in Hawaii) and the booking process is pretty easy, you just need to call Wyndham Rewards. The price is right too at only 13,500 Wyndham Rewards Points per bedroom per night, if you have the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner+ Credit Card or the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Credit Card (or 15,000 points per bedroom per night without the credit card). Here are the 6 Vacasa properties in Hawaii that I have booked and stayed at / will stay at. There are actually a few ways to earn Wyndham Rewards Points that I will show you later in the post. Let’s get started.
Good afternoon everyone. A few months ago in April 2021, I wrote about My Experience Booking Vacasa Vacation Rentals with Wyndham Rewards Points. The booking process has come a long way since April, so I wanted to provide an update and show how easy and quick it is to book a Vacasa Vacation Rental using your Wyndham Rewards Points. Here are the steps I recommend:
Start your search here: https://www.vacasa.com/search?maxbeds=1&maxrate=350&place=/usa/ (this will show all properties that have 1 bedroom and cost less than $350 / night)
Enter the city or state you are interested in
Enter your check in and check out dates (this will only show properties that are available for the duration of your stay)
Then look at all the properties that have ratings / reviews, focusing your attention on properties that have the best / most / recent ratings
Then look at the photos and read the description (some properties charge a resort fee or parking)
Once you have identified your top 1-3 properties, it is time to book the reservation
For an upcoming trip to Maui, I settled on this Vacasa Vacation Rental: Hale Kai O Kihei 207 – Kihei, HI
