Hotel credit cards are usually the quickest way to elite status, higher earning rates and discounts. And while the Wyndham Rewards cards can definitely be worth having in your wallet, it may also be worth considering signing up for the new Wyndham Rewards Insider subscription that launched Oct. 21.
Wyndham Rewards Insider is a new membership program that costs $95 per year. However, new subscribers get 14 months for the price of 12, plus a 7,500-point bonus, through the end of 2025. Based on TPG's October 2025 valuations, 7,500 Wyndham points are worth $82.50. So, if you sign up in 2025, you can try out 14 months of Wyndham Rewards Insider for an effective cost of just $12.50.
Several other hotel loyalty programs offer memberships you can buy, such as IHG's InterContinental Ambassador and the Accor+ Ibis and Voyager plans. FoundersCard is another popular membership card. But Wyndham Rewards Insider is a different type of membership that offers both travel and entertainment benefits.
