Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Stephen’s wife received a very good offer for the fee-free Wyndham Earner card: Earn the usual 30K points after $1k spend AND earn an extra 2 points per dollar for all spend through 10/31/22. Even though this offer was sent to Stephen’s wife, it appears to work for anyone and so we’ve updated the link on our site to go to this offer. The offer is valid through April 30th.

Quick Thoughts
If you value Wyndham points and if you’re a big spender, this can be a terrific offer. The card always offers a 7,500 point bonus each year when you spend $15,000 and so if you spend $15K on the card in 1x categories between now and October 31, you should earn 15K base points from spend + 30K bonus points thanks to the extra 2X + 30K welcome bonus points + 7.5K annual bonus points = 82,500 points.
How much can 82,500 points get you? Remember that the Wyndham Earner card offers a 10% discount on all awards and so 1 bedroom Vacasa vacation rentals, which usually cost 15K points per night, will cost you 13,500 points per night. So, you would be able to book a 6 night 1-bedroom stay (or a 3 night 2 bedroom stay) with those points. That’s excellent.
If you don’t plan to spend at least $15K, I’d recommend waiting to see if the previous best 60K bonus returns for this card.

Nice find. It’s rare to see unlimited 3x for points this valuable for so long. Thanks for sharing.
Wyndham doubled the offers in mid July last year. Hopefully they’ll do that again this year.
Don’t know whether this is a candidate for the “What crazy thing did Barclays (?) do” but the SUB for my P2’s Earner Plus card posted as 180k Wyndham points in late 2021, instead of the then-offered 90k. No complaints.
Awesomesauce
Any guesstimate as to when the 90k business offer will return?
Certainly the best offer available now. But as a big spender, the 60k offer would probably still be better for many of us. The 60k offer required only $2k spend. If you put the other $13k spend on the Venture X or Citi Double Cash (if you have Premier/Prestige), you would end up with 60k + 2k (from SUB spend) + 26k ($13k x2)=88k points.
Fingers crossed that the 60k offer returns!
