Wyndham Rewards - Has anyone recently transferred Wyndham points to Southwest?

I am curious to know if the resultant points were "Companion Pass-qualifying."

Thanks.

I am curious to know if the resultant points were "Companion Pass-qualifying."
How do I tell?

The Companion Pass rules say:

"Companion Pass Qualifying Points are earned from revenue flights, points issued on Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Cards, and points earned from Rapid Rewards Partners. Purchased points and points earned from program enrollment, Tier bonuses, flight bonuses, and Partner bonuses do not count toward Companion Pass status."

It says I have earned 9000 Compansion Pass points total this year, but I can't see how to itemize them.

I've earned 19200 points total this year (not counting a small handful of dining points), so obviously only about half of those counted. But which half?

I can tell you that I earned:

[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +1,800
[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +600

[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +1,200
[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +600

[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +600
[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +600

[date] Hotel Wyndham Hotel Group [date] +600
From the 1x/2x/3x/4x promo (but at Southwest it doesn't say which are the bonuses and which are from the hotel stays themselves, I only can tell because I know how that bonus worked).

Plus:

[date] Hotel Choice - XXX [date] +600
[date] Hotel Choice - XXX [date] +600


10 times. This was the Choice double WN points promo, but once again it doesn't say which are the bonuses and which are from the hotel stays themselves, I can only tell because each date is listed twice that one of them is the bonus and the other is the hotel stay for each date.

So doing the math, not counting bonuses, I had 14 stays (between Choice and WyndhamRewards) at 600 points per stay which is 8400. So they obviously counted one bonus as not being a bonus (I can guess which one -- the one where it posted on a different date than the original stay, though both were attributed to the same date which is why I know one's really a bonus), since 9000-8400=600.

I haven't done point transfers, only stay earnings and stay bonuses.

But at least based on my experience with those, Southwest has a primitive way of determining (for Companion Pass purposes) what are partner bonuses, by using the second posting on the same day for stay with the same date.

But I don't know if you can extrapolate from this how they'll treat points transfers. (I'm not trying to earn a Companion Pass, and so I only choose to earn WN from hotels where there's a big bonus on WN but not a big bonus on points. I've found just in the last few months that WN points can be very valuable for hotels in some places in South America, where there's no other chain hotels, so I'm keeping my WR points as points.)

I could guess that they might not treat a transfer as a bonus if you do only one per day, and that they might thread one of them as a bonus if you do multiple transfers in a day!

I can further tell you that WR doesn't name the hotel location in the posting to SW (while Choice does, indicated by XXX in my example above). So I'm not sure how WN could tell the difference between a hotel stay and transfer other than by the number of points, unless transfers don't show the second date.

Thanks for your response, but I am specifically interested in transferring existing Wyndham points to WN, not earning WN points for stays.

The way it appears to me, if such transfers yield WN Companion-Pass-qualifying points, it's worth doing, otherwise not.

In your WN account online, you can go to the points page and select from the pulldown menu "Companion Pass Qualifying" and see if they are, once you have done the transfer.
