By "doesn't exist any more", I meant that you can't apply for it or convert it it. Lots of cards "exist" for those who got them once long ago, but don't exist for anyone else.
Meanwhile, here's the really wierd thing. I just quoted your message, and I was about to tell you that your link doesn't work. Well, if I click the link in your message, it doesn't work (it says the offer is expired), but when I click the same (?) link in my quote of your message, it works fine. What the bleep???
EDITED TO ADD:
Oh, wait, I just edited my message, and now the link version in my quote of your message says "offer expired" too. What is going on???
And the link in my own message upthread gives the same result now!

But that card doesn't exist any more.
IOTW, it used to be common for WyndhamRewards cards issued years ago to earn 2 points everywhere, but no longer:

I definitely remember that long before the 15k ponts for all hotels change came about, and before transfers to airlines were gutted, that even a no-annual-fee WyndhamRewards card earned 2 points per dollar on everything. But now even the (new) annual fee cards earn 1 point per dollar on everything outside of a few categories.

What is very churnable for you? How many cards can one hold at once and how often do you apply?
I've been applying for barclay cards roughly 1 per 6 months, but haven't applied for dups since the US airways days...

I'm a new fan of the WR card. My partner and I both got the card w/ 45K points and booked a 6 night stay in Beaver Creek for 2019 ski season and will be using the reciprocal benefits at Atlantis for another 6 nights. Not bad for $75 each.

I dont believe this is correct,Im way over 6/24 and 2 of them were Bars JetBlue CC and Wyn no fee CC. And was just approved for the 45k CC.My 2nd payment of my just closed
statement no fee Wyn CCshould reach them by tomorrow it s/b all pd off, I will CX that card and move most of the CL to my new Wyn CC since it came with a low CL but high enough to meet the min Spend, eventually I will go back to fee free or none.
Or since my 2 Bar CCs have had very high use volume they gave it to me besdies the 6/24 rule

Anything that appears on reddit only (or is based on appearances on reddit only) should be taken with a beaker full of salt, because no one "drills" into datapoints on reddit the way we do here on FT or the day DoC does it on his site.
So it's not a question necessarily of what it applies to, it's first a question of whether it actually exists as a "rule".

Personally I care more about the annual benefits after paying fee.
$75 for the fee card looks like break even, 6000 from the card and 3000 from Platinum status (anyone please correct if I'm wrong). How did I miss out those old credit cards with 15K?
