Card snapshot
What the card is built around
The Wyndham Earner Plus Card is positioned for travelers who stay at Wyndham portfolio properties and want automatic elite status without meeting a nights or stay threshold. The automatic Diamond status is Wyndham Rewards' highest tier, and it is included simply by holding the card — no minimum spend or stays required to maintain status. For Wyndham loyalists, this can represent the most direct route to the program's top benefits.
The card also earns at an elevated rate on gas station purchases, making it useful beyond hotel spend for cardholders who drive frequently. The 4x rate on dining and grocery provides additional everyday utility. The 7,500 anniversary bonus points and the no-expiration policy on points (while the account is open) round out a value structure oriented toward long-term Wyndham Rewards accumulation.
Key benefits
Automatic Diamond status
Cardholders receive automatic Wyndham Diamond status for as long as the card is held. Diamond is the top tier in Wyndham Rewards and provides a fourth free night on award stays, access to exclusive Diamond rates, room upgrades when available, free Wi-Fi at participating properties, and late checkout. No stays or nights threshold is required to earn or maintain this status via the card.
7,500 anniversary bonus points
The card credits 7,500 Wyndham Rewards bonus points to the account each anniversary year. These points post at account anniversary and require no spend threshold to receive. The points can be applied toward award night redemptions at properties across the Wyndham portfolio.
Wide redemption portfolio
Wyndham Rewards points are redeemable at 40,000-plus hotels, resorts, and vacation club resorts across Wyndham's brand portfolio. The breadth of the network includes economy, midscale, and upscale brands, giving cardholders redemption options across price points and destinations.
