As with many programs, Wyndham offers all standard rooms as free award nights with no blackouts.

The Citi ThankYou® Premier Card changed its 3x categories to gas and travel on April 19. I covered just how broad those categories are in this post at the time.

Gas and travel purchases that earn 3 ThankYou Points per dollar include:

airlines
hotels
car rental agencies
travel agencies
gas stations
commuter transportation
taxi/limousines
passenger railways
cruise lines
bridge and road tolls
parking lots/garages
campgrounds and trailer parks
time shares
bus lines
motor home/RV Rental and boat rentals

At the time of the change, I hoped that Uber fell into the taxi/limousines category.
