    Editorial take: Wyndham Rewards Earner Card

    Editorial take: Mastercard Titanium Card

    The entry tier of the Barclays Luxury Card lineup. The $299 AF buys Priority Pass Select and a real metal card, but earning is weak (1x base, 2x on Luxury Card Travel bookings) and the cash-back redemption rate is only 1 cent per point. Better only as a status-and-lounge play for people who do not want to carry a Sapphire Reserve or Venture X.

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Wyndham Rewards Earner Card or Mastercard Titanium Card?
    The Mastercard Titanium Card has a public bonus (No public welcome bonus, worth roughly $0), while the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Mastercard Titanium Card?
    The Wyndham Rewards Earner Card has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Mastercard Titanium Card's $299 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Mastercard Titanium Card's benefits to clear $299 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card.
    Can I have both the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card and Mastercard Titanium Card?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Barclays and Barclays (Luxury Card)) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card or the Mastercard Titanium Card first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Wyndham Rewards Earner Card: no published min spend. Mastercard Titanium Card: $0 in 0 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
