On October 8, 2026, word surfaced that Wyndham Rewards is doubling the miles members get when they transfer Wyndham points to United. Instead of the usual 5:1 rate, the promotion converts at 5:2, so a 6,000-point block now becomes 2,400 MileagePlus miles instead of 1,200.
Wyndham has not announced the deal publicly. As first reported by Frequent Miler, the higher rate only appears after you sign in and start a transfer, and there is no published end date. If you hold Wyndham points without a clear hotel plan, this window deserves a look before it closes.
What the Wyndham to United transfer bonus gives you
The promotion keeps Wyndham’s normal structure and simply doubles what comes out the other side. Points still move in 6,000-point blocks, one transaction can carry up to 60,000 points, and the ceiling for this offer is 90,000 points in total.
| Wyndham points sent | United miles at 5:1 | United miles at 5:2 (bonus) |
|---|---|---|
| 6,000 | 1,200 | 2,400 |
| 30,000 | 6,000 | 12,000 |
| 60,000 (per-transfer cap) | 12,000 | 24,000 |
| 90,000 (promotion cap) | 18,000 | 36,000 |
Miles are worked out on each transaction separately rather than on a running total, so the figures above assume full 6,000-point blocks. Hitting the 90,000-point maximum takes at least two transactions, such as one of 60,000 and a second of 30,000.
Who can transfer Wyndham points to United
Two things are required: a Wyndham Rewards account with at least 6,000 points, and an active United MileagePlus membership. Wyndham’s partner page lists United among its 11 travel partners and describes United conversions as starting at 6,000 points, with up to 90,000 points allowed.
The request form asks for a first name, last name and frequent traveler number, so keep your MileagePlus number nearby. Entering your name the same way it appears on your United profile is the safest approach.
Since the promotion is unadvertised, there is no public fine print on who qualifies. Treat the confirmation screen as the final word. If it does not show the doubled mileage, the bonus is not applying to your account.
How to transfer Wyndham points to United, step by step
- Sign in to Wyndham Rewards and confirm you have at least 6,000 points available.
- Open Wyndham’s travel partner points page and select United MileagePlus.
- Fill in your first name, last name and MileagePlus number.
- Pick the number of 6,000-point blocks you want to send, keeping this transaction at 60,000 points or less.
- Look at the miles total before going further. At the bonus rate it should show 2,400 miles for every 6,000 points.
- Accept the notice that partner redemptions cannot be cancelled, then submit.
Anyone who wants to transfer Wyndham points to United up to the full 90,000-point cap needs a second run for the remaining 30,000. Wyndham does not state how quickly miles land in MileagePlus, so save your confirmation until the deposit shows up.
What it costs to move Wyndham points to United miles
Before you transfer Wyndham points to United, remember that the real price is the hotel value you give up. Every block of 6,000 that leaves for United is a block you can no longer spend on a Wyndham stay, and the move is final once submitted.
At the doubled rate, each United mile costs 2.5 Wyndham points, compared with 5 at the standard rate. Whether that swap makes sense depends on what you would otherwise book. If a United award is a few thousand miles short, an idle Wyndham balance can be the easiest way to close the gap. If you regularly use Wyndham points for hotel nights you would pay cash for anyway, keeping them is likely the stronger choice.
Timing also matters for older balances. Wyndham points expire after 18 months with no account activity, and they expire four years after being earned regardless of activity. Choosing to transfer Wyndham points to United while the rate is doubled can save value that would otherwise disappear.
Limits and gotchas before you hit submit
- No end date. Wyndham has not said when the offer stops, so waiting could mean converting at 5:1.
- No take-backs. Once submitted, the points leave Wyndham for good, even if your trip changes.
- Two caps. One transaction tops out at 60,000 points, and the promotion stops at 90,000 points overall.
- Fixed blocks. A 10,000-point balance lets you send 6,000. The other 4,000 stay put.
- Unknown posting time. If you need to ticket an award today, a transfer with no stated timeline is a gamble.
The most common misstep is a speculative move. Miles parked in MileagePlus with no plan are no more useful than points parked in Wyndham, so transfer Wyndham points to United when you have an award in mind or an expiration coming up.
United is not Wyndham’s only partner. The list also includes Air Canada Aeroplan, Avianca LifeMiles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Frontier Airlines, but the doubled rate reported so far covers United only.

Frequently asked questions
Can you transfer Wyndham points to United?
Yes. Wyndham lists United MileagePlus as a travel partner, with transfers starting at 6,000 points. You need your MileagePlus number to complete the request.
How long does the Wyndham to United transfer bonus last?
Wyndham has not published an end date. The offer is not advertised, so check the miles shown on the confirmation screen before you submit.
What are the Wyndham Rewards transfer partners?
Wyndham lists 11 partners, including United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, Avianca LifeMiles, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer and Frontier Airlines. The doubled rate applies to United transfers.
Should you move Wyndham points to United before the bonus ends?
Go ahead and transfer Wyndham points to United now if a United award is in sight or a chunk of your balance is close to expiring, since the doubled rate halves the cost of every mile. Skip it if your Wyndham points regularly cover hotel nights you would book anyway, because that value is gone once they leave. A bonus only pays off when the miles already have a job waiting.
