The break-even math
| Annual fee | $95 |
| Printed statement credits | $0 |
| Net cost to earn back | $95 |
| Top earn rate | 4x on gas |
| Break-even spend | $3,959/yr |
Subtract the $0 of printed statement credits from the $95 fee and $95 is left to earn back through rewards. At its top rate — 4x on gas, valuing Wyndham Rewards at 0.60¢ — you'd need about $3,959 of gas spending a year just to break even.
The verdict
A close call. $3,959 of gas spending isn't a stretch for many households, so this card earns out for steady spenders in that category — and loses to a no-fee card for everyone below that line.
