New Wyndham Rewards Cards Offer 8x Points on Gas, Hotel Stays and Additional Perks
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Barclays announced an updated credit card suite designed with road trippers and road warriors in mind: the Wyndham Rewards® EarnerSM Card, the Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card and the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card, the first Wyndham credit card created specifically for small business travelers.
Built to help maximize points earned on the road as well through everyday purchases, the new cards offer up to 8x earned on gas purchases and Wyndham hotel stays, up to 5x earn on marketing, advertising and utility purchases (Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card only), and up to 4x earn on restaurant and grocery purchases. Other benefits include WyndhamRewards membership upgrades, anniversary bonuses and more.

All three cards arrive at a pivotal time as the pandemic continues to make driving the go-to method for travel.
“Whether it’s jumping in the SUV with the kids and driving two hours to visit a favorite national park or packing the truck with gear and heading to a construction site two states away, an increasing number of travelers are gassing up and taking to the road,” said Eliot Hamlisch, executive vice president, loyalty and revenue optimization, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “These cards are for them, offering big rewards on travel and other everyday spend for a faster way to a free night.
