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.
