First of all thanks to
Wyndham Rewards and
Wyndham Rewards2 for being here - one/two of the most helpful company reps on FT!
About the Wyndham properties in China - of all the Super 8s and Ramadas I've stayed in Shanghai, Guangzhou and a couple of smaller cities, NONE of the check-in staff knew anything about Wyndham REWARDS (they knew about Wyndham the group/brand, but not the loyalty program).
I booked ALL my Wyndham stays in China on wyndhamrewards.com US site and input my airline and Wyndham account numbers and I provided them again at check-in. NONE of the stay got the credit automatically. I had to chase them through the helpful Wyndham Rewards agents via email/online form.
Also Super 8 in China have its own program, you pay 50 Yuan or so (US$9) to be a member and you get discounted/cheapest rates, which do not show on Wyndhamrewards.com and do not earn points/miles.
Some Super 8s don't take non-Chinese credit cards either, so have cash at hand. In fact many Chinese retail outlets/restaurants/businesses do not take foreign-issued credit cards.
So for people who wish to earn points in China - efforts are needed! I hope Wyndham can better train the Chinese staff about the group and the program.
Lastly how come Wyndham doesn't have elite tiers like other programs?
