Sorry for the confusion. The email for the free night on us promotion was sent to our US members who had opted to receive email extras from Wyndham Rewards. To qualify for this promotion the reservations need to be booked through the link included in the email.

If they could be either points or miles I think you would have had a line item for the miles showing 16,000 miles as the bonus. Maybe the points post later but that would be unusual for Wyndham so a good possibility is that your account must be set to points for it to post even though that isn't stated in the T&Cs of the promotion.
So, my regular stay has posted. What I did not realize is that my earnings preferences was set to US Airways miles, so I have 500 miles being posted to US Airways.
The 16,000 points have not posted yet.
I think that I am going to change my earnings to Delta - that is the award that I am working on. Even if the 16,000 points gets posted as Delta miles, that works fine for me!

I don't in any way believe that Wyndham will award 16K miles in any partner program as a result of this promotion. I suspect CC will say you either earn some piddling, standard amount of miles or 16K CC points.

Agreed but it would be nice for someone to post here that did have the 16k post. I had the same thing where mine was set to miles and the 16k didn't post with my stay as most bonus's do with Wyndham. So I'm wondering if this (mile selection) is it or not. Some promo's have allowed both in the distant past depending on where you live. The T&Cs would normally state you must be set to points in recent promotions. And this one is very odd that it doesn't.
Although the specific T&Cs don't state that the earning preference must be set to points rather than miles, I figured that was a reasonable (but not the only reasonable) interpretation of the requirements and then decided it was better to err on the side of caution and set my preference to Wyndham points.

However my flights have been notoriously cancellation-prone so I may not make it to check in

Second stay in Altamonte Springs posted this evening, three days after the stay. No bonus points on either stay have posted yet. I'll keep an eye on that because I should earn an additional 32K for these two stays.
I haven't been burned by a promotion yet, but I am concerned about how this one will work out. Although I used the link in the email Wyndham sent to me to make each reservation, there's nothing in the reservation or confirmation process to tell you that your booking has qualified for this promo.

The promotional points often do not post right away. Last year when I participated in another one of their promotions, the bonus points posted 6 days (4 business days) after the check-out date.

I have also clicked through the email, had 3 stays done, and have just the regular miles post (within 3-4 days) ... no bonus miles yet.
I went as far as to call into the Rewards # and have a CSR note my account, since as you've said, there is no confirmation anywhere that this has been tracked properly.

Otherwise, it simply remains a targeted promotion. If you don't get this one, you'll probably get one down the line--that I don't get.
