Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier
The Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier is built for travelers who stay with Wyndham often enough to care about earning Wyndham points on both hotel stays and everyday spending. It works better as a brand-loyalty card than as a general travel card, especially since its value depends heavily on how much use you get from Wyndham redemptions.

Is the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier worth it?
This card is great for...
Wyndham hotel stays
Gas station spending
Dining and grocery purchases
This card is mainly worth considering for travelers who regularly book Wyndham properties and want to build their balance faster through both stays and daily spending. The strongest parts of the card are its elevated earning at Wyndham and gas stations, plus decent returns on dining and groceries if you value Wyndham points at a solid rate.
For most other readers, the $395 annual fee is hard to justify. There is no welcome bonus right now, and based on the information provided here, there are no listed credits, travel perks, or protections to help offset the cost. If you are not consistently redeeming Wyndham points for good value, this is a difficult card to recommend over lower-fee or no-fee travel cards.
MaxRewards Verdict
This card fits a narrow audience: frequent Wyndham customers who want to earn within the program beyond hotel stays. Without a welcome bonus or listed fee-offsetting benefits, the high annual fee makes it a tough choice for everyone else.
Rewards
Rewards percent based on a valuation of 1.2¢ per Wyndham point
This card earns Wyndham Rewards points, so the value comes down to how often you redeem within the Wyndham program. The bonus categories are straightforward, with the biggest returns at Wyndham and gas stations, then solid everyday support from dining and grocery purchases.
