Issuer Rules

Rules: For 2026, based on current Barclays and Wyndham Rewards card trends, the primary application and bonus eligibility rules for the Wyndham Rewards Earner Travel Card are projected as follows: **Application Rules:** 1. **Barclays 6/24 Rule:** Applicants are generally ineligible if they have opened more than 6 new credit card accounts (from any issuer) in the past 24 months. This is a strict internal Barclays rule. 2. **Creditworthiness:** Applicants must have excellent credit (typically FICO score 740+) and a strong credit history. 3. **Residency:** Must be a U.S. resident and at least 18 years of age. 4. **Existing Barclays Relationship:** While not a hard rule, Barclays tends to be cautious with applicants who already hold multiple high-limit cards with them. **Bonus Eligibility Rules:** 1. **New Cardmember Bonus:** The sign-up bonus is typically available only to new cardmembers who have not received a new cardmember bonus for this specific product (Wyndham Rewards Earner Travel Card) in the past 24 months. This prevents rapid churning of the same card. 2. **Spend Requirement:** To earn the bonus, new cardmembers must meet a specified spending threshold (e.g., $1,000 - $2,000) within a defined period (e.g., the first 90 days or 3 months) of account opening. The exact bonus points and spend requirement are subject to change annually or quarterly. **General Eligibility:** Barclays reserves the right to deny applications based on various factors including, but not limited to, too many recent inquiries, high existing credit limits across all issuers, or a history of not managing credit responsibly.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 3

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit across all cards (especially with Barclays), rapid application for multiple credit cards (especially within Barclays' ecosystem), frequent product changes, defaulting on payments, unusual spending patterns inconsistent with declared income, abusive bonus churning (e.g., applying for the same card too frequently or immediately closing after bonus), not using the card after meeting the bonus spend.
