    Editorial take: Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card

    Underrated card for Vacasa rentals and Caesars properties (which take Wyndham points). The 7,500 anniversary points alone (~$75 in value) make the fee a wash; Platinum status adds late checkout and 15% bonus.

    Editorial take: Aer Lingus Visa Signature
