Wyndham Rewards introduces KrisFlyer mile earnings for members

Wyndham Rewards has expanded its global travel offerings by partnering with KrisFlyer, the lifestyle rewards program of the Singapore Airlines Group. This new collaboration allows Wyndham Rewards’ 120 million members to earn KrisFlyer miles directly or convert their Wyndham Rewards points into miles, providing greater flexibility and value for travelers.

Earn Miles or Convert Points

Members of Wyndham Rewards now have the option to earn 1 KrisFlyer mile for every US$1 spent on qualified hotel stays instead of accruing Wyndham Rewards points. Additionally, existing Wyndham Rewards points can be converted into KrisFlyer miles, starting at a rate of 6,000 Wyndham Rewards points for 1,200 KrisFlyer miles. Once converted, these miles can be redeemed through the extensive Singapore Airlines network, including flights, cabin upgrades, and other travel-related experiences.

Enhancing Global Travel Flexibility

This partnership aligns with Wyndham Rewards’ strategy of offering versatile benefits to its members, particularly as the hotel group expands its global presence. With KrisFlyer now among its more than a dozen point transfer partners, Wyndham Rewards strengthens its appeal in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

"Today’s travelers want more than points – they want a global rewards currency that gives them the freedom to travel where, when and how they choose", said Eyvonne Lin, Vice President, Marketing and Commercial Performance, APAC, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "Our partnership with KrisFlyer – now one of more than a dozen point transfer partners – is yet one more way for members to turn their everyday hotel stays into flights, upgrades, and experiences on their own terms."

A Straightforward Loyalty Program

Wyndham Rewards is well-known for its simplicity and accessibility in an often complex loyalty landscape. Members earn a minimum of 1,000 points per qualified stay, and free nights are redeemable in just three tiers, starting at 7,500 points per night. This straightforward approach has been a hallmark of the program and complements its growing range of redemption options.

The new partnership also enhances the utility of KrisFlyer miles, which is part of Singapore Airlines Group’s broader effort to expand its loyalty program across lifestyle and travel partners. For Wyndham Rewards members, the ability to seamlessly link hotel stays with flight benefits adds significant value.

Additional Perks for Members

Wyndham Rewards also offers members a fast track to elite status, with the first tier achievable after just five qualifying nights. Elite members enjoy additional benefits such as room upgrades, late check-out, and bonus point earnings. Furthermore, the recent launch of Wyndham Rewards Experiences provides members with opportunities to redeem points for unique activities, including VIP access to live events, complementing the travel-focused benefits offered through the KrisFlyer partnership.

Enhancing Travel Opportunities Worldwide

The Wyndham Rewards–KrisFlyer partnership is now available to members globally, offering immediate opportunities to earn and redeem KrisFlyer miles across Singapore Airlines’ extensive operations and its growing network of partner airlines. With this development, Wyndham Rewards continues to expand its scope, delivering more ways for members to maximize their travel experiences.
