In late July 2026, Wyndham Rewards announced a limited‑time offer running through 14 August 2026, allowing members to buy at least 3,000 points and receive up to an 80 % bonus, with an annual purchase cap raised to 100,000 points. The promotion priced points at roughly US$7.22 per 1,000 points after the bonus.

The following day, InterContinental Hotels Group introduced a similar sale for its IHG One Rewards program. From 1 August to 17 August 2026, members could purchase points with a bonus of up to 100 %, lowering the effective price to as little as 0.5 cents per point for purchases of 30,000 points or more. Annual limits were set at 200,000 points.

Both promotions reflect a broader trend among major hotel chains to boost loyalty program engagement by offering heavily discounted point purchases during August 2026.
