Our Verdict
All Wyndham properties used to cost 15,000 points per night. But this now varies from 7,500, 15,000 or 30,000 points per night. If you value Wyndham points highly then the 8x gas earning rate could be interesting, but I suspect most people would prefer to earn 5% cash back instead. The sign up bonuses are in line with what Barclays & Wyndham have offered in the past, but we often see the 45,000 point offers with the annual fee waived. It’s unclear what will happen to existing cardholders of the old Wyndham cards. I’d recommend holding off waiting for a better offer to come along and as such we won’t be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
