Our Verdict
These are the best offers we’ve ever seen, though the business offer does now come with a steep $15,000 spend requirement to get the 100k bonus. (You can see prior personal offers here and here, prior business offer here.)
We’ll add these to our list of Best Current Credit Card Signup Bonuses. Before applying, read these Things To Know About Barclays Credit Cards.
I’m closing in on the Earner Rewards 75,000 bonus points after spending $2,000, but I noticed that one charge over 2 months ago was not counted by Barclays toward the $2000. This was an online charge to renew my car insurance. Does anyone know why this was not counted toward the $2000?
I did call Barclays but they were unhelpful, saying that any discrepancy was because of unpaid billing statements, which was not true but I could not convince them otherwise. If anyone has any tips or info, I’d be grateful. Thanks!
Any DPs on how long this bonus takes to post to your Wyndham account? Hit $2,000 spend on 7/3, paid off 8/2, and it’s 8/19 now.
Statement closed 8/23, noticed 100k points in my account 8/26, but they might have posted earlier than that. I did see reports about bonus posting issues.
Wyndham Earner Biz retention DP: Annual fee posted, called and was offered 5k points for $1k spend in 3 months. Took it as I think this card is a keeper.
I applied for Biz Earner 100k before the July deadline & was approved for the credit but they’ve been dragging their heels accepting the address & verification I gave them. 100k offer has expired & I hope they still honor it.
I can’t believe the incompetence of Barclays/Wyndham. Like a few others down below, I signed up for the 100,000 point offer. The first statement only awarded 45,000 points and the following awarded 50,000 points. I submitted an SM to get the missing 5,000 points credited but received reply that just restated the 100,000 point offer terms back to me. I escalated to a manager who created a case and week later said that everything looks good on their end. Because my account had over 100,000 points in it (due to natural spend) then the offer must have worked just fine in their eyes. I am now on my 2nd level of escalation trying to get someone with a brain to do simple math and review the bonus points that were awarded. Why is this so difficult?
I ran into similar issues, them restating the terms, when I sent them a SM – if you haven’t called them yet and online tried to resolve this online, give them a call. I received better results that way and got my points – at least for tier 1, the first 50,000 points. I received the 5k pt difference.
Barclays is a horrible bank. They won’t let you email information to them everything has to be done through fax or mail….
now down to 45k bonus for earner+ and earner biz. earner is down to 30k
looks like the elevated 100k sub is finished now, just checked their site
Just an update
Sean X mentioned that the terms state
“These bonuses and/or incentives are intended for applicants who are not and have not previously been Wyndham Rewards Earner® cardmembers. You understand and agree that you may no longer be eligible for any bonuses and/or incentives in connection with a new Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card Account after this Card Account is opened. If you receive a bonus or incentive for which you are not eligible due to your status as a current or former Wyndham Rewards Earner® cardmember, we may revoke the bonus or incentive, or reduce your Points by the amount of the bonus or incentive or charge your Card Account for the fair value of the bonus or incentive, at our sole discretion.””
This does not appear to be systemically implemented, as P2 and I both have earned bonuses on these cards before, but received the bonus again in the last couple months.
What does 75K points get you at a Wyndham? For reference, we can get a room at Hyatt Place hotels for 15K Ultimate Rewards points transferred from Chase. Those can be cashed at 0.01/point, so a room at a very nice downtown hotel costs $150 w/ an upscale buffet breakfast.
Otherwise, our standard hotel preference is Fairfield Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, or the like.
Just did a quick search nearby and it’s 15k or 30k points per night depending on property. So at least two or up to five nights.
