I asked if the CSR could upgrade my card type from Visa Platinum to Visa Signature since my CL is now over $5000, but as that was considered a product change, I was not allowed to do that.
Last year, the only "spending" I did was a $1500 balance transfer. The year before, it was significantly under $1000 total in purchases.

The first time I called, I asked to do a credit reallocation from this card to another one of my cards. I made no mention of cancelling. I was transferred to an office that was closed, the "credit department". So I called back, and was a little angry and just told them I want to cancel due to the annual fee as well as this icing on the cake.

I wanted to be very detailed here since there aren't other posts regarding the Wyndham cards from Barclays.
Thanks for taking the time to post your data point. They are all useful to some if not everyone.
