Allows customers to earn rewards quickly
Barclaycard US and Wyndham Rewards®, the world\'s largest loyalty program based upon its more than 6,500 participating hotels introduced July 7 the new Wyndham Rewards Visa® card, which offers cardholders accelerated reward-earning power and a suite of new benefits.
"We are very excited about our new partnership with Wyndham Rewards," said Chris Reitnour, Segment Lead, Partnership. "Travelers who have experienced all that Wyndham has to offer have a fantastic way to earn more points and make their next vacation a great one. What makes this program more robust is that the card comes in two versions, offering program members their choice of either no annual fee with generous rewards or a low annual fee card with even greater earning potential."
The no-fee card offers cardholders the opportunity to earn three points for every $1 spent on stays at Wyndham Rewards participating hotels and two points for every $1 spent everywhere else. Cardholders will receive 12,000 bonus points upon first usage, which is enough for up to two free nights at select participating hotels.
The premium card offers cardholders five points for every $1 spent on stays at Wyndham Rewards participating hotels and two points for every $1 spent everywhere else. Cardholders can receive up to 18,000 bonus points upon first usage - enough for up to three free nights at select participating hotels. This card program carries a $39 annual fee.
Both versions of the Wyndham Rewards Visa Card allow members to redeem their points at over 6,500 hotels around the world. Points may also be used for tickets for airlines, sports events, concerts and theme parks as well as for gift cards for major department and discount stores.
"Customers want to earn rewards quickly and they want to earn points even when they aren\'t traveling," said Robin Korman, Wyndham Hotel Group senior vice president of loyalty marketing and strategic partnerships. "This new credit card gives tham a chance to do just that."
