What happened
Wyndham Rewards announced an update to its award chart, introducing a new four-tier pricing structure effective for bookings as of September 30, 2026. The new tiers will cost 5,000, 15,000, 30,000, or 45,000 points per night, replacing the previous three tiers of 7,500, 15,000, and 30,000 points. This change impacts the value proposition of the Barclays Wyndham credit card portfolio, particularly the new Earner Premier card which offers a 25% points discount on reward stays. With the new chart, entry-level hotels can be booked for as little as 3,750 points with the Premier card, while top-tier awards will cost 33,750 points after the discount. The update also coincides with a refresh of the Wyndham credit card suite, including the introduction of the Earner Premier card
