$1,007.18 / 62,680 US DMs = $0.016/RDM
W/O US promo:
$1,007.18 / 42,680 US DMs = $0.024/RDM
Almost a 50k threshhold, for signing up for a promotion. Sweet!
I'd have taken it upon myself to get that down to $33 all-in per night (per less), just for the challenge of the matress runs. I figure someone could have "stayed" all 150+ nights of the promotion, and scored 50+ "3x" postings. Wonder if there was a limit on concurrent stays...

I had email Wyndham CS to try to ensure I would get both DL and US bonuses. I have the US 10K one in my WR account (more recent stays) though it hasn't posted to US yet. I inquired as to where my 10K for DL stays were (done in May/June). After an intial response that I already had my 10K and me insisting I didn't have my DL 10K here is what I got:
Code:
I have verified that you are registered for the Triple Play promotion.
Please allow 10 days from your check-out date for the stays to appear on
your Wyndham Rewards account and the bonus miles will not be applied to
the account until 6 - 8 weeks after the promotion has ended.
You will receive your second 10,000 bonus miles and it will post to your
Delta Miles account.
Thus, it is looking up for those that have multiple airlines in this promo. Just wanted to share another data point with the group.

For some of us it looks like WR is headed closer to the 8 week time frame rather than 6 weeks. The promo ended on Sept 10. Here it is Oct 26 I have have not gotten my 10K bonuses yet to my US account. Six weeks from Sept 10 landed on Oct 22. Eight weeks will land on Nov 5.
It never ceases to amaze me the contradiction that companies make with regard to marketing promotions. Here they were trying to encourage business for their program with a hefty miles promotion. But what has ended up happening is that I am so much more LESS likely to want to stay at WR properties in the future.
Since I can't get anything but a standard form email reply to my web correspondence (I don't need the T&C quoted to me AGAIN! and you never addressed my questions or even read them!) I am giving them until Nov 5 and then I start a snail mail campaign.
I called a CSR at WR (866-996-7937). He confirmed that the eight week mark is Nov 5. I also asked him about the 50% bonus through US' Summer Blockbuster Promo. He claimed that the bonus miles will be back-dated to the date of the stays (for me July) and I should be eligible for the extra 5000 miles. I told him that I contacted US (by phone) and it clearly states in their (US') T&C that anything that posts after Sept 30, 2009 will not be eligible for the 50% bonus. He was rather dumbfounded and had nothing to add.
I congratulate the AA and Amtrak members who got their bonus miles. And I say this with quite a bit of envy.
I see the 10K in my WR account dated 10/9, but they have not arrived in my US account yet.
I see 10k listed as "Summer Airline Mile Offer 09" also with an Oct. 9 date given. Nothing has showed up in my United MileagePlus account as of Nov. 2.

spoke with a wyndham supervisor today- she stated "there has been a computer glitch, etc.- the points should post in your Wyndham account by 11/10. if not, please call back and they will manually add me to the missing points spreadsheet. after posting in the wyndham account, it will be several more weeks until the 10k miles post in my continental onepass account..."
I talked to an agent yesterday regarding the 10k bonus confirmed in WR account but not showing up in my US account. She said I have to give them another 6-8 weeks from Oct 9 for the miles to be posted in US. I can only say that most of these representatives are clueless about their own program. I will surely ring them again after Nov 5 as Evan! suggested.

BTW, great FT handle!!!
This bears repeating:
CSR at WR 866-996-7937
Let's make them regret not getting their act together in before releasing this promo!!!
So now the WR guys started to say that they already sent the request to US on OCT 13, and they advised me to talk to US to sort it out. And as impatient as I am, I called US and US told me they are still waiting for Wyndham...I am just loving this game.
