Wyndham Rewards has partnered with Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer program, allowing members to transfer points to airline miles. This partnership enables Wyndham Rewards members to earn KrisFlyer miles during hotel stays or convert existing points into miles. The conversion rate is set at one mile per USD $1 spent, with a minimum of 6,000 points required for 1,200 miles. This collaboration is part of Wyndham's strategy to enhance its loyalty program by offering more flexible redemption options, adding KrisFlyer to its list of over a dozen point transfer partners.
