Running With Miles is reporting that this is the last day for this bonus. Not sure if it will be extended or not, but if you’re interested it might be worth picking up now. Don’t forget Wyndham currently has a generous promotion offering up to 15,000 points, enough for another free night.
The Offer
- There are increased bonuses on the no annual fee and annual fee versions of the Barclaycard Wyndham credit cards, they are as follows:
- $75 Annual fee card: 30,000 points after your first purchase and an additional 15,000 points after you spend $2,000 within the first 90 days of account opening
- No annual fee card: 15,000 points after your first purchase and an additional 3,000 points after you spend $1,000 within the first 90 day of account opening
Card Details
Annual fee card:
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 5x points per $1 spent on stays within the Wyndham portfolio
- 2x points per $1 on gas, utility and grocery store purchases
- 1x points per $1 spent on all other purchases
- Anniversary bonus of 6,000 points
- Annual fee of $75 (not waived the first year)

Our Verdict
So 15,000 Wyndham points gets you a free night at any of their properties, so this works out to be three free nights at any property on the annual fee card. If you want to stay at high end properties then this is probably one of, if not the best hotel credit card to get. The other thing to keep in mind is the fact that you can do cash + points (3,000 points + cash) and those also provide excellent value in some cases.

This 45,000 bonus comes around on a somewhat frequent basis and is the best bonus they offer on this card. If you have any questions about Barclaycard credit cards, I’d recommend reading through this linked post before asking questions in the comments. I’ll be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

The link is dead now.
I would agree. Has anyone been able to find a new working link?
Two questions:
1) Does the first purchase need to be wyndham purchase? (i.e. hotel booking, using in Wyndham property etc)?
2) I do not see $50 statement credit in the application. Is this still part of this promotion?
Just applied (3/8/18) through link in comments, approved after shifting some credit on recon, bonus shows in my account describing 30k points after single purchase, $50 statement credit after single purchase, and additional 15k points after $2000 spend. You guys rock!
The link took me to an application but didn't show what the bonus was.
Read the terms & conditions, it's in there.
Ha, nm. It was dead and then I clicked your link again and I see it's alive. Delete my comments as you see fit. :)
If I just make 1 purchase, regardless of price then I get 30k points = 2 nights free? But, if I don't hit the $2K then I just dont get the 15k points right? Thanks. Usually, I just hit the signup bonus and switch to the no annual fee.
This has been dead for awhile.
The application link is dead again. Can anyone find another one?

I applied for this offer end of Dec'17 (using your link). My statement just closed and all of 45K points are posted. But I also received "$50 WYNDHAM REWARD CREDIT"... Was that part of the offer? Not like I'm complaining or anything, but I'd rather know why am I getting an extra $50 and how can I get them again?
Is anybody else seeing that?
I also just got the $50 statement credit, thought it was a glitch.
I have the no-fee version of the card btw.
Same here... we applied in a previous run (the offer which ended on 08/18/2017) and we also (both me and my SO) got $50 credit. Did not complain either.
Thank you Darv. Good stuff, I like surprises like that!
New to churning so sorry if this is a stupid question. I see that a lot of these all inclusive resorts have a 4 night minimum. If I apply for this card now and get the 45K bonus, is there a way to save these points when i close the card?
My thinking is that next time this deal rolls around, ill apply get another 45k with a total of 90k or 6 nights.
The 3 nights offer is still live for me (just applied and instant approval).
Was supposed to expire on 1/15, but this link worked:

Good luck! Take screenshots!
Thanks for this DP, will try to open a BMO account with my Wyndham card today. Did you also get the $50 credit for making a purchase within 30 days of opening?
