The Offer
- Wyndham is offering 500 points for registering for points paradise for the Wyndham championship.
Our Verdict
You can also get more points for scanning QR codes at the course, last year we were able to crowd source this so hopefully it can be done again.

Looks like they're running a different promo for 2023.

... and that today is the last day.
In case you completed the golf promo more times, it seems that the extra credits will be removed.
I did that 3 times (once for the each family member) but credited all the 3 credits (3*850p) to one account. A month later, 1700p were removed.
It seems fair that they let me keep the first 850p so not complaining :)
I recently stupidly called Wyndham about ~1k points missing from a recent stay, and that led them to reviewing my account and taking back the extra ~16k points from the multiple promo accounts I created for the 2022 golf promo. At least they didn't shut down my Wyndham account entirely, and let me keep the extra points I earned from my 2021 golf shenanigans. Lesson: don't put eyes on your account! @guest_1427229 @guest_1420214
My points got clawed back too it was processed Nov 2nd or so without calling in or anything so don’t think you triggered anything. I just got off phone with them asking if they could put points in other family members accounts be they said it wasn’t possible. ….like others mentioned they let me keep 1 of the point offers but clawed back the points for the 2 other family members
Anybody else having trouble logging in?
Got the email but can’t log into my account. First it says its locked and I need to password reset, then it tells me there isn’t a current online account with my member number and to create one, which is odd because i’m currently logged in on my app to that “non-existent” online account
I just clicked on the “get your points” button in the emails. I ended up at the Wyndham rewards page and not the points paradise page.
Received 6,850 points today!
Got my 500 points
@will got the 2 emails to claim the Wyndham points. One for 3,000 points and the other for 850 points. Points show up instantly in my account. 3,850 points is a great haul for a few minutes of work :)
Holy Cow! It turns out each unique code can be added to the same account even it was for the same promo. I just missed out on free hotels for life :(
I did that last year. Loaded 15 codes to one account and account got shut down. Wouldn't recommend...
I did 6 or 7 last year with no issues.
Lol pretty sure Wyndham would shut you down if you went too big
Yea I only did 1 extra email this year and p2. So I we add 11,550 points to my Wyndham account.
I knew this since I did it last year but like @guest_1420220 mentioned didn’t want to go over board and didn’t have the energy for more. Maybe next year ;-)
I used four codes on the same account, but I just found out that three of them were clawed back. So it doesn't look like this will work anymore going forward @guest_1420220
FYI I never contacted Wyndham about anything (in fact I've still never reserved or stayed at any Wyndham property), and vice versa. So this was an automatic clawback without eyes on my account.
Ah, ok, now I don’t feel so bad. Thanks for the DP!
Yes, same as last year. You're limited only by your number of email addresses and your gall.
I saw that post but didn't use it. That's because I have a "continuing relationship" with Wyndham and I thought they might shut down my account for doing it. Not worth the risk. If I had no other sources of Wyndham points, I probably would have gone for it.
Man I wish someone mentioned that earlier or in the main post. Maybe I missed it.
I can't speak for others, but I didn't mention it because it would have decreased my chances of hauling in a bunch of points. As it turns out, it was way fewer points per account than last year.
@guest_1420220 how big did u go this year? And last year? I think I did mention it in the comments
Anyone get any email with the Wyndham points yet?
Just received two emails for a total of 3,850 points. Not sure if I'll ever use 'em, but what the heck!
@guest_1426033 you can use the Bakkt app to withdraw the funds and convert them into cash I believe. You can do a search on here DoC.

I can't get the 350 point link to work. It just takes me to a page with something about an adirondack chair.
Try the link below from Giraffius, that's the only one that worked for me, the others just gave me the Adirondack chair info. But I think the whole promo ended last night.
