The Wyndham Earner and Wyndham Earner Plus cards are out with newly-elevated offers, but this time around, you’ll need to be spending money at Wyndham properties to earn the maximum number of bonus points. That will really limit the appeal unless you have existing plans to stay at a Wyndham property.

Quick Thoughts
The Wyndham Earner cards can be helpful for getting a quick infusion of Wyndham points as well as for the 10% discount on award redemptions. Depending on your use case for Wyndham points, they could also offer a decent return for spend on certain category bonuses. The Plus card comes with 7,500 points at each anniversary, which mitigates a good chunk of the $75 annual fee on that card (our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points is 0.7c per point, which makes the points worth $52.50, though you can certainly do better). On the other hand, the no-annual-fee Wyndham Earner card is a good fee-free way to keep the 10% discount.
Neither of these cards is as popular as the Wyndham Earner Business card, which offers 8x on gas and 15,000 points at anniversary as well as Wyndham Diamond status. Unfortunately, the business card does not have an elevated bonus at this time. That said, if you primarily care about bonus points, you might be more interested in one of these consumer card offers.
However, you’ll likely only be interested in one of these offers if you intend to spend some money at a Wyndham property. That’s because the second piece of each of the elevated bonuses requires spending $500 at Wyndham properties in the first 180 days to get the additional 30,000 points. That’s only about $210 worth of points based on our Reasonable Redemption Value, so it wouldn’t be worth going after that bonus unless you already intended to stay at a Wyndham property (or don’t mind changing existing plans to stay at one). It isn’t worth a mattress run on its own.
Wyndham does frequently offer promotions, so it is possible that you can find the right stacking deal to make a stay feel nearly free with this bonus included, but I don’t find these offers terribly compelling on their own.

Pretty sneaky of Wyndham to do it this way, but clever marketing though. Apparently, some Wyndham Grand resorts sell gift cards specific to their property, but you’d have to be in proximity to the resort to buy them and they’re only good at that specific resort. I was trying to think of a way to beat this $500 in house spending requirement for the extra points, but honestly, unless you’re staying at a Wyndham anyway, it’s hardly worth the effort.
