Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
The $95 fee minus $0 in printed credits leaves $95/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $3,959 of gas spending at 4x (valuing Wyndham Rewards at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for
Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. two things on this card rule out a kind of spender:
- Anyone who doesn't spend at Wyndham. Its largest printed rate, 6x on hotels, pays only at Wyndham. Anywhere else it earns its base 1x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
- Spending outside its bonus categories. Everything else earns 1x, worth about 0.6¢ per dollar at our value for Wyndham Rewards — less than the 1¢ a plain cash-back card pays on the same dollar. This card only wins where its bonus categories do.
