I have had the card now for over 2 years and it's one of my favorites. The perks and benefits alone far exceed the annual fee. Status matching to Caesars Diamond is a huge perk that includes no resort fees...100 dollar annual dinner credit at a Caesars property, free parking and much more including converting Caesars points to casino free play. Aside from it being a pain to obtain its totally worth it.

We use it only for gas, but with P2 and two teen drivers the points rack up quickly. The Caesar’s anniversary dinner is easy to use and offsets the annual fee. Caesars diamond status is nice, especially for avoiding resort fees which saves us $50 a night when we go to Vegas. Big fan of the card, I hope you finally get approved.

My understanding is that the moment you actually start playing the Credit Card game and ramp up your velocity, it's game over for Barclays. I've heard things like 6/24 being a thing with them, but it's such an absurdly outdated and frustrating process. I personally love what this card offers. Caesar's status match is ridiculously overpowered, but none of that matters if the bank that issues the card treats it like something nobody can or should get.

Hola Tío Luke! It took me 3 months to get the card last year. I think getting another Barclays card might help. I had the JetBlue card for years. I used the Wyndham points to get suite upgrades in a hotel in Switzerland. Wyndham is notorious for being difficult . I had to call the “back office” many times to finally get the card. It took some work but it was worth it . Good luck!

Barclays is a pain in the *** . They are tough on underwriting, especially on business cards. I use the card (personal Wyndham card, not the business card) to visit second tier Wyndham properties in the US. Wyndham does have some nice properties in the US and down South. Gas x6 is good, but the business card is x8. My usage of the points gives me a penny of value for each point. The yearly bonus points are great and the Diamond status will get you Diamond (business card) with Caesars in Las Vegas.

Hey Uncle Luke! I applied twice for this card. The second time, I received a phone call from Barclay's to get details on my business. All for a whopping $1000 credit limit 🤣 I'd only ever used it for fuel and to pay the light and water bills. I ended up canceling it after one year because it just cannibalized spend on my other cards. Even though it has good earnings rates for gas and utility bills, I just don't stay at Wyndham's. I guess I was just star struck by those earnings rates lol. Love the channel man, hope it continues to grow. 🤙

This card has been AMAZING! I am so glad I grabbed it “out of order” for the Chase enthusiasts. I’ve used the points for a hotel in Santa Monica (which I would never stay at again), status matched in AC to get the Oceans Prime MSC 10 night cruise (it was wonderful!), stayed in Atlantis minus taxes and fees and had a blast. Am currently headed to Vegas this weekend to status match to Wynn for the Holland America Cruise. Plus I also got 20% off of an existing NCL cruise we are taking this fall. Plus it gives 8x gas that I use when I am on vacation and away from home. The amount of money this card has saved me for a $95 AF has been very much worth it. I have heard DPs that matching Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite or Hilton Honors Gold member, would match to Wyndham Rewards Diamond status and seen some start the casino merry go round this way. You don’t get Atlantis in Nassau or NCL 20% off but you can do the rest of the MGR and get way more cruises then I have listed here (which I haven’t matched to yet). Good luck 🍀

I applied for this card in November, expecting it would take months of sending documents in for approval …and surprise, instantly approved. The 8x on gas is great, but getting 8x on gift cards bought at gas stations is better. I have a 3 night stay coming up in Greek beachfront resort with points earned just from buying AirBnb and Amazon gift cards. Another benefit is with this card you get a 10% discount on points bookings…which makes transferring from Citi and Capital One a bit less painful. I am Hyatt loyalists, but their footprint leaves much to be desired…this card helps pick up the slack.

⁠@@LukesPointsandMilesThe Caesar’s match does require “earned” Wyndham Diamond (for which holding the BE card counts); this is Caesar’s current (updated) requirement. Their 6/24 rule isn’t as well known as Chase’s 5/24, but it’s even firmer (found out like you did). That said, it’s their best card (other than the Aviator Red, arguably the better $95/99 AAdvantage card) and a good earner for gas. The Caesar’s match is its main value, their own points are only useful depending on where and when you wish to redeem them, typically less desirable properties at 35K+ points per night.

Ha! i just called them and the rep told me they just want to see how my current credit accounts are being used. When i asked him to explain what that means he says they want to see the cards being used and paid. When I told him I've not had a late payment on any single open account dating back decades he then told me they just want to see if that continues. Ha!

How can you prove it’s going to be used and paid? What did they want you to send them?

@LukesPointsandMiles Awesome. I have Choice diamond from work trips and will grab Wyndham diamond this week. I think 14 nights at Wyndham will lock it in for a year or so. I'll see where I go from there.

Wyndham diamond status match from Choice came through yesterday. I only need 10 nights to keep it through the end of 2025, so that's convenient.

I pay utilities and use it at gas stations. I status match to Caesar's/MGM/Hyatt to get Hyatt Explorist. My value per point has been 1.3 cents per point. If I need more points I have Venture X transfer options.

I had to travel to Atlantic City NJ so I could status match in person at a Caesars casino. Once I did that, I could status match online with MGM, and from there status match to Hyatt Explorist.
