Out of curiosity - why does it take so long for points to post - it's a digital age - what's with the 4 to six weeks disclaimer.

For the handful of domestic hotels I stay at (the same few repeatedly), it only takes a very few days for the points to show up at WyndhamRewards itself. (And, in the recent promo, only a few days more for the 3000 miles per stay to get to AA.)

But the disclaimers are not about when things go right, they're about when things go wrong.

Even in the digital age, many things (including some transfers between partners, some posting of promos, etc) are done in periodic digital "sweeps", not continuously. If something gets done in a periodic once-a-month sweep, it can take up to 4.5 weeks, right?

And it's not a 100% digital age. I routinely stay at some hotels where they still run my credit card through an imprint machine; that's about as non-digital as you can get, right?

Guess your right - didn't think about the once a month sweeps I've gotten used to instant gratification lol- haven't seen one of those hard imprint swipe machines since the 90's (carbon paper wow - doubt the kids have ever seen it) but I did pay $1.29 for gas the other day so it sure feels like "olden times"

It's Wyndham. Some properties are hardly even using a computer...

And why is it so hard to cancel a reservation and most importantly get the points refunded?
