Wyndham Rewards (formerly TripRewards) - No Free Hotel Rooms with BRG's Starting April 1, 2009!!!!

Its the nightmare we never wanted to hear. Starting April 1, 2009, Wyndham Rewards will not be giving free hotel rooms with their Best Rate Guarantee.

Here is the link:

And sadly, the new guarantee offering a 10% discount makes this not even worth the time (seriously am I going to spend an hour comparing rates and submitting a claim for a 50% chance that they'll give me $7 off a Days Inn - no way!).

Too bad they couldn't have at least come up with an alternative Rate Guarantee program with some teeth in it - 20 or 30% off your entire stay or something like that.
