45k offer (added 12/7/17, limited time offer):https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/...&cellNumber=69

What's in this thread:
This thread starts out by discussing a slightly different version of this offer that was around in late 2013.
(That version waived the $69 fee the first year for the 45k offer; the current 30k and 45k offers do not.)
Only those posts from July 2014 forward are about the current offer;
all posts from Apr 2014 backward are about the late 2013 offer.

It's equivalent to an uncapped free night certificate with 18 months (soft) to 4 years (hard) expiration. What limits it is the overall lower quality of the average WyndhamRewards brand, compared to the free night certificates (sometimes capped to lower categories, never valid longer than 1 year AFAIK) from Chase for roughly similar annual fees with IHG, Marriott, and Hyatt.
While 15k for $69 for a Super 8 that's going for $119+tax is technically a good value, it's still a Super 8.

Which is why you wouldn't use it at a super 8. The bigger cities have great values for 15K wyndham points. If you don't travel to bigger cities at least once per year, then I can't really see why the card is of any use to an individual. The 15K flat redemption is great for city travelers. WIsh I had waited 4 months and gotten the 45K AF sign up. Instead, i got the 15 no AF card when the AF card was 30K.

I have no idea about this card nor about Barclay churning rules today, but when Barclay had the US Airways card, back then some people could "stack" them up, but others (including myself) couldn't apply for a new one until some time had passed (many months) after closing the old one.

edit: went ahead and applied for the 45k deal and got approved for the Signature Visa with $9K CL

re: churning, FWIW I've gotten 5 new Barclay cards in 16 months, spaced out by ~3 months each time. Two of them, Frontier and Arrival+, are churns (card #1 still open when applied for #2). All instant approvals and bonus posted for all.
Love Barclay's perpetual churnability. BTW back in the days I was one of the unlucky fellas who couldn't get US Airways card #2 while #1 was open, and I used to get denied occasionally. But now they love me. No idea why.

I just closed my Wyndham in hopes of reapplying for another bonus in a few weeks, since I was also regularly denied for the US card card when applying for multiple of those. Even over a month after I closed them, I'd still get that reason...slow system I suppose. I'm not sure if you're datapoint is good or bad news in my case for the Wyndham, but I'm hoping like back in the US days, they won't do an HP if their system still thinks I have the card. I'll report back when I do.
