110 Wyndham Rewards brand hotels in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
Germany has 98 Wyndham brand hotels, Austria 4 hotels and Switzerland 8 hotels. A large proportion of hotels in Germany are in the Trademark Collection brand, a European brand Wyndham acquired with hotel sub-brand names H+. H2, H4 and Hyperion.
Ramada, Tryp, Wyndham, Wyndham Garden and Wyndham Grand are other brands in this region, along with a few Super 8 and Days Inn hotels and one Dolce resort near Frankfurt.
Several hotels formerly branded as Ramada were rebranded as Trademark Collection in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a brand name more familiar to Europeans. Ramada Salzburg, where I stayed in Sep 2016, is now H+ Salzburg.
This article looks at some of the hotel rate discounts available across Germany using Wyndham Rewards points, primarily for GoFast reward nights at 3,000 points + cash copay.
Berlin, Germany June 18-20, 2018
H+ Hotel Berlin Mitte
94.27 EUR ($115.56) per night
or 3,000 points + 53 EUR ($64.97) GoFast reward
or 15,000 points GoFree reward.
3,000 points saves 41.27 EUR ($50.59) per night.
Paying for the hotel would earn a little over 1,000 points, but redeeming 6,000 points saves $101 on a 2-night stay.
H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz
104.47 EUR ($128.06)
or 3,000 points + 53 EUR ($64.97) GoFast reward
or 15,000 points GoFree reward.
3,000 points saves 51.47 EUR ($63.09) per night.
I like staying in hotels around Alexanderplatz near the many museums with plenty of food places and a transportation hub for getting around Berlin.
The second point to consider in evaluating the points value of Wyndham Rewards is what room types are available for reward nights. Wyndham Rewards rooms using points sometimes include higher category rooms than standard rooms.
H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz offers a Superior Double Room, a higher category than the Standard Double 104.47 EUR room. The lowest rate for the Superior Double is 121.47 EUR per night. This increases the redemption value of 3,000 points to a savings of 71.47 EUR ($87.61 USD) per night.
Two nights at H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz June 18-20 in a Superior Double Room will cost 6,000 points + 106 EUR for a GoFast reward stay for two room nights with a regular room rate of 242.94 EUR.
6,000 Wyndham Rewards points reduces the 2-night hotel rate by 136.94 EUR ($167.86).
Two cheap hotel stays using the Visa Checkout promotion can earn 12,000 points for under $90 all-in at many hotels across the USA.

Hamburg, Germany
Hyperion Hotel Hamburg is one of the premier tier hotels in Trademark Collection. There are also Hyperion hotels in Basel, Berlin and Dresden.
Hyperion Hotel Hamburg June 20-22
- 157.42 EUR ($192.96) Double Bed Room
- 174.42 EUR ($213.80) Business Room Double Bed
Wyndham Rewards GoFast rate = 3,000 points + 62 EUR ($76.00).
6,000 Wyndham Rewards points + 124 EUR for 2 nights at Hyperion Hotel Hamburg reduces the room rate from 348.84 EUR.
6,000 Wyndham Rewards points saves 224.84 EUR ($275.61 USD).
Germany is in my summer 2018 travel plans. In October 2017, I picked up 18,000 Wyndham Rewards points with 2 hotel stays in Nice France and Plovdiv, Bulgaria for $160 during the Masterpass payment promotion.
Wyndham Rewards followed up that promotion immediately with Visa Checkout for 15,000 bonus points after 3 stays.
I have currently completed two stays using Visa Checkout with hotel stays in London and Prague. My third Visa Checkout stay will be a $50 hotel stay in Monterey for a room I do not need. I will earn 9,000 Wyndham Rewards points from that 3rd Visa Checkout stay.
There are plenty of hotels in Germany where I will find good room rate discounts using Wyndham Rewards points for GoFast rates in 2018.
