Wyndham and Barclays Launch Updated Credit Card Suite | News

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Barclays, has reimagined its Wyndham Rewards® credit card portfolio, reimagining how members earn, redeem and interact with its award-winning hotel loyalty program, while introducing a new premium-tier option with the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card.

The expanded portfolio of four credit cards reflects a broader shift in travel rewards: Consumers want cards that help you earn money quickly on everyday purchases while making travel both easier and richer. With new bonus categories, meaningful statement credits and expanded free night discounts on select cards, plus the ability to redeem points for statement credits on purchases using Points Payback, the new lineup is built not only to help cardholders travel faster, but to deliver more value every time while unlocking the best that Wyndham Rewards has to offer.

“Loyalty programs work best when travelers don’t have to decode them. Wyndham Rewards has always differentiated itself by making earning and redemption simple, attainable and predictable – our updated cards are a direct extension of that philosophy. By earning money faster every day with greater free night discounts, member-level upgrades and benefits that improve the stay itself, we’re giving members a clearer, more rewarding path from routine spending to real travel value.”

– Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

“The Wyndham Rewards cards issued by Barclays are built for smart travelers, combining strong earning rates, flexible redemptions and practical credits with a loyalty program known not only for great rewards, but also for the ease and simplicity of obtaining and enjoying those rewards. The result is a card program that is designed to be a go-to for everyday travelers and delivers consistent, measurable value month in, month out.”

– Doug Villone, Head of US Cards and Partnerships, Barclays US Consumer Bank

A redesigned credit card suite
The updated Wyndham Rewards credit card range includes four distinct products, each designed for a distinct use case: from everyday income without annual fees to premium travel benefits and small business rewards. For the entire suite, cardholders can earn up to 8x points on stays at Hotels by Wyndham and up to 4x points on dining, grocery and travel purchases, with 1x points on all other eligible spend.

Each card also includes elevated status within Wyndham Rewards and free, discounted night redemptions. The new Earner® Premier Card adds even more benefits and unlocks credits worth more than $400 in annual value, including a free Wyndham Rewards Insider membership, and – for the first time in the wallet – points that never expire.

Real rewards for real travelers
Wyndham Rewards was built from the ground up around a simple premise: that travelers should always know what they earn, what their points are worth and how quickly they can use them. With Wyndham Rewards, there’s no more guesswork. Members always earn 1,000 points per stay or 10 points per dollar spent on qualified stays, whichever is greater, while free nights start at just 7,500 points per bedroom, per night. No dynamic pricing. No seasonal price charts. It’s a simple, generous approach to loyalty that has only been further strengthened over the past year with the launch of new program features.

Wyndham Rewards Experiences, which debuted last summer, allows members to bid and redeem points for live events and unforgettable experiences with partners like Minor League Baseball, Madison Square Garden and Caesars Rewards, while the more recent Wyndham Rewards Insider – the program’s first-ever travel subscription – provides added value for members through extended travel savings, elevated membership status, earning double-dip points and more. Now, with the launch of the program’s completely redesigned credit card suite, that greater value is easier to access and faster to realize, giving members a more direct path from everyday spend to meaningful rewards across the Wyndham Rewards ecosystem.
