Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier

The Wyndham Rewards Earner Premier delivers impressive value for travelers who regularly stay across Wyndham's broad portfolio of hotels and resorts. Between the 30,000 anniversary bonus points each year and the annual $100 hotel statement credit, most brand loyalists can easily recoup the $395 annual fee before considering any standard spending rewards. Automatic Wyndham Rewards Diamond status adds valuable perks like suite upgrades and welcome amenities, while the application fee credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry further boosts its travel utility.

For casual travelers or those who prefer flexible points, the card is tough to justify over broader travel cards. However, if you routinely book Wyndham properties and spend heavily on gas, the point multipliers and yearly perks make this card a compelling long-term hold.
