Our Take
Overview
One of three cards issued by Barclays for Wyndham Hotel loyalists, the Earner Rewards card is the starter, no-annual-fee option. Considering the cost of gas these days, the 5 points you could earn per dollar spent on qualifying fuel purchases may make the card worth having for the occasional night or two at a branded property.
Pros
- Cardholders receive Wyndham Rewards Gold status that comes with late checkouts, free Wi-Fi and preferred room choice.
Cons
- Earning enough points for an additional free night comes with a high spending requirement of $15,000 in qualifying purchases per year.
Who is this card good for?
The Rewards Earner Card is a good starting point for travelers on a budget looking to save on annual fees and hotel stays. Anyone who spends on gas often can earn a competitive 5 points per dollar to earn free hotel nights faster.
Earning Rewards
Earn 5 points per dollar on gas and Wyndham property purchases, 2 points per dollar on eligible dining and grocery-store spending (excluding Walmart and Target) and one point per dollar on everything else (excluding Wyndham Vacation Club down payments).
