Costco join: $20 + 2k Wyndham points for $65. Worth the math?

Wyndham Rewards is pairing a Costco Shop card with bonus points for new members who sign up by Sept 18, 2026, using a qualifying Wyndham card. The Gold membership at $65 nets a $20 Shop card and 2,000 points, valued at roughly $13.40 by our math, while the Executive at $130 doubles both to $40 and 4,000 points worth $26.80. If you already want Costco and hold a Wyndham card, this beats standard offers, but it's not enough to justify joining just for the points.

the play

Sign up for Costco by Sept 18, 2026, using promo code WYNDHAM26 and a Wyndham Rewards Earner card to claim the Shop card and bonus points.

Delta's $150 eCredit: three Comfort flights, one to Europe, by Nov 19.

A targeted offer for select SkyMiles members: earn $25 eCredit per domestic Comfort flight (max two, $50 total) and $100 for a Comfort flight to one of 28 European airports. You must enroll, book, and fly entirely by November 19, 2026. eCredits expire six months after issuance and are non-transferable. If you already plan to fly Delta Comfort, this is free money; if not, the structure forces three trips for the max, so it only pays if those trips were happening anyway.

the play

Enroll at delta.com/myskymiles/promotions before November 19, 2026, then book and fly two domestic Delta Comfort flights and one to a listed European destination within the same period to collect up to $150 in eCredits.
