Developed in collaboration with Galileo Financial Technologies, SoFi’s Technology Platform, new Mastercard offers elevated membership status, booking discounts and easy point earning on everyday spend
Cash-savvy travelers now have a new way to earn Wyndham Rewards points on their everyday spend thanks to the launch of the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card—a first of its kind offering from a major hospitality brand in the U.S.®
Designed for younger travelers as well as those who prefer a debt-free lifestyle, the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card makes it easy to earn Wyndham Rewards points on day-to-day transactions, from gas and groceries, to dining, retail and more. Points can be redeemed for a wide-range of rewards—including free nights at more than 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals globally—while other cardholder perks include complimentary Wyndham Rewards Gold level membership, hotel booking discounts, a rich annual point bonus and more.

“Research continues to show a large number of travelers, particularly younger consumers such as Gen Z, prefer debit cards as their primary method of payment. Unfortunately, that means many have been left on the sidelines when it comes to earning free hotel nights and other travel rewards. With the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card, that’s no longer the case. Now anyone and everyone can earn points on their day-to-day purchases and in turn, enjoy meaningful rewards.” – Charmaine Taylor, SVP, Strategic and Financial Partnership, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
A recent EY study from just last year found that nearly 70% of Gen Z consumers use their debit cards once or more per week. At the same time, research last summer from PMG shows travel as a key area of spend for Gen Z, 65% of whom intend to spend more on travel in 2025 and nearly 60% of whom consider loyalty programs essential when booking their travel.
