In today’s podcast we see how Wells Fargo Attunes out, we’ll talk about the PAZE craze (and why it pays to pay with PAZE), and Greg convinces Nick that a $395 Wyndham card is a good idea.

The card itself does interest me but unfortunately Wyndham doesn’t have any interesting properties in the places that I’d usually go to for short holidays, and their coverage in Japan is awful. I suppose if you’re a budget traveler or go on road trips it would be a lot more useful, although I’ve also seen some great point deals in resort areas like Cancun where you’d get a huge value vs. the cash price with the fixed points ceiling. I suppose if I was to make such a trip I’d seriously consider the card.
Really the question for most people would be the business vs. premium card, is the extra $250 worth 15,000 more points, 5% more discount, and the extra coupons? If Hyatt came out with a similar offering for their card it’d be an instant application or upgrade for me though!
Can’t wait for the Choice and Best Western premium card offerings!
I am eagerly awaiting premium Hyatt card… Why does IHG not have a super premium card yet?
@Greg- How does one book Wyndham Club Properties? Thanks
I believe it’s the same as booking any other Wyndham property
I have the Wyndham Earner Business card. I use the 8X gas category because there is one LaQuinta property that is convenient where I visit a relative. The LaQuinta is new so has the modern design. Eventually, I might eventually get the $395 version. But where are there any high end Wyndham properties? I have never seen a Registry or Dolce property. Where are they located?
According to a webpage I found, they’re in these Locations: 36 Urban & Resort Hotels in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Greece, Jamaica, Mexico & Panama

Thank you for the reply. You are my go to source for points and miles.
How unprofessional of Chase. Someone said that big banks didn’t make such amateurish mistakes.
