The Wyndham card makes several appearances per year at the 45,000 point level (on the top card) but this last few weeks was different. It disappeared and expired earlier in the month and then popped up a couple of days later – but again expires today! So, if you wanted to get 3 free nights at Wyndham properties, apply today (8/19).

There are two different Wyndham cards, one with an annual fee and one without it. The best card to apply for is the one with the annual fee and then if you wanted to continue earning points, you could downgrade to the one without the annual fee (and also no anniversary bonus).

Analysis
The Wyndham Rewards program has some nice value tied to it, depending on how you use the points. It is great to know you can redeem your points at Wyndhams around the world at the same level. It is also nice to take advantage of their Go Fast awards where you only pay 3,000 points + cash to redeem for rooms. You can save hundreds of dollars per night with these awards (see this post for more on that).
Sweet; thanks Charlie! By the way, the Visa Signature version has a $75 annual fee (no longer $69). The $69 fee was back when the card earned 5X on Wyndham and 2X on everything else with no elite status. May want to correct above.
Thanks for catching that! Updated!
