PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has reimagined its Wyndham Rewards® credit card portfolio in partnership with Barclays, reshaping how members earn, redeem and engage with the award-winning hotel loyalty program while introducing a new premium-tier option with the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card.
The elevated, now four credit card portfolio reflects a broader shift in travel rewards: consumers want cards that earn fast on daily purchases while making travel both simpler and richer. With new bonus categories, meaningful statement credits and expanded free night discounts on select cards, plus the ability to redeem points for statement credits towards purchases using Points Payback, the new lineup is built not just to get cardmembers traveling sooner, but to deliver more value every time they do while unlocking the best that Wyndham Rewards has to offer.
"Loyalty programs work best when travelers don't have to decode them. Wyndham Rewards has always stood apart by making earning and redemption straightforward, attainable and predictable—our updated cards are a direct extension of that philosophy. By pairing faster everyday earning with bigger free night discounts, Member Level upgrades and benefits that enhance the stay itself, we're giving members a clearer, more rewarding path from routine spending to real travel value."
- Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
"The Wyndham Rewards cards issued by Barclays were built for savvy travelers, combining strong earn rates, flexible redemption and practical credits with a loyalty program that's known for not just great rewards, but ease and simplicity in obtaining and enjoying those rewards. The result is a card program designed to be a go-to for everyday travelers—delivering consistent, measurable value, month-in and month-out."
- Doug Villone, Head of US Cards and Partnerships, Barclays US Consumer Bank

Real Rewards for Real Travelers
Wyndham Rewards was built from the ground up around a simple premise: that travelers should always know what they're earning, what their points are worth and how quickly they can use them. With Wyndham Rewards, there's no guesswork. Members always earn 1,000 points per stay or 10 points per dollar spent on qualified stays, whichever is more, while free nights start at just 7,500 points per bedroom, per night. No dynamic pricing. No seasonal award charts. It's a simple, generous approach to loyalty that over the last year, has only been amplified further with the launch of new program features.
Wyndham Rewards Experiences, which debuted last summer, allows members to bid and redeem points for live events and unforgettable experiences with partners like Minor League Baseball, Madison Square Garden and Caesars Rewards, while the more recent Wyndham Rewards Insider—the program's first-ever travel subscription—delivers added member value through expansive travel savings, elevated membership status, double-dip points earning and more. Now, with the launch of the program's fully re‑imagined credit card suite, that expanded value is easier to access and faster to realize—giving members a more direct path from everyday spending to meaningful rewards across the Wyndham Rewards ecosystem.
