We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

The collection of Wyndham credit cards, issued by Barclays, is getting a refresh and adding a new member.
Beginning June 17, 2026, the two existing consumer Wyndham cards will offer higher welcome bonuses to new cardholders, along with slightly altered ongoing rewards and other benefits. (The business version of the card, the Wyndham Rewards® Earner℠ Business Credit Card, is also getting a makeover.)
There will also be a new premium card with more perks and discounts in exchange for a considerably higher annual fee.
🤓Nerdy Tip
Current Wyndham cardholders can keep their existing cards, along with those cards' benefits, with no change to their annual fee. If they apply for a new card or upgrade their card in the future, they'll receive the new benefits and pay the new annual fee.
The newest member of the Wyndham portfolio has a $395 annual fee, as well as these benefits:
