Wyndham promo: Earn 5,000 bonus points for using Visa Checkout on mobile app

Wyndham is running a limited time promo in which you can earn an additional 5,000 bonus points just for using the Visa Checkout method when booking a room on their mobile app. The promo seems straightforward enough and you must book and complete your stay between April 27-July 31.

When do you let points and miles expire

There has never been a loyalty or rewards program that I have not signed up for and as a result I literally have thousands of points spread out across hundreds of different programs, some of which I have only used once or twice. If you are lucky then these programs don't have expiration dates for your points such as with Delta SkyMiles but this is usually not the case. As a result, I have many points that are on the verge of expiring which begs the question: What should I do with these?
