Can I Get 10% Off Vacasa After Closing Wyndham Card?
I’m thinking about canceling my Wyndham Business Earner card.
I got it mostly for Vacasa.
If I use my remaining Wyndham points to book a Vacasa stay, can I still get the 10% discount for a 2024 stay and then close the card?
Or do I need to keep the card active until I stay to get the discount?

It’s always a “your mileage may vary” situation, but let me tell you, the Wyndham Business Earner card is a real hidden gem.
It more than pays for itself, easily over 20 times.
My Caesars Diamond Status alone has scored me over $10-15K+ in value this year:
I’ve snagged over 20-30 free hotel nights.
No pesky resort or valet fees.
Enjoyed over $500 in food and beverage credits.
We’ve taken more than 10 cruises between me and my partner, averaging about $3k each.
Even a stay at Vacasa or Margaritaville in the Virgin Islands returned more than three times the value.
Wyndham has some amazing properties abroad, like in Bali, for example.
Trust me, I’ve seen some really nice ones.
Plus, I get 8 times the points back on gas, which translates to 8 times the rewards on all my Amazon, Starbucks, Ulta, AirBnB, etc purchases, because I buy gift cards from the gas station, which codes as gas.
My travel route might be out of commission now, but with a bit of creativity, my Wyndham card still keeps on giving!
My journey went something like this:
Caesars Diamond > HardRock Royalty > Unity Icon > Ocean Prime > MGM Gold (I even got the same perks for my partner without them having a Wyndham card) > Hyatt Explorist (though that’s now defunct) > American Airlines Platinum/OneWorld Sapphire Status (working my way up to Exec Plat now) > Southwest Airlines List > Delta Gold > JetBlue Mosaic.
I’m even considering an Alaska Airlines match.
And all of this was possible because I have my trusty Wyndham Biz Earner card.

I used Wyndham to book resorts in Punta Cana and hotels in Europe, and got some great deals.
Plus, I also used Vacasa for booking.

Sure, let me put that in plain terms for you:
After you make a booking, you’ll receive 10% of the points back.
This means you need to have the full amount of points required for the booking in your account beforehand, without any discounts applied.

How does the $95 annual fee impact your overall finances?
The 15,000 points you get each year should easily give you enough value to make the fee worthwhile, and you can also call to negotiate a retention offer.
