We did a 3-day minor league baseball trip staying at Wyndham Rewards motels to get 10k points for my wife's account. One stay posted in a few days, the other in 2 weeks, and the 3rd only after almost 4 weeks. Each posted to her airline account on a Wednesday.
My two stays each posted to my account in less than 2 weeks.
I haven't had the bad experiences many have mentioned, perhaps because my standards are so low to begin with. There, now I've really jinxed myself for the up-coming final stay at a Days Inn in Wisconsin.
I have noticed that Microtel rooms are *really* small, and was amused that the back of the desk chair at the Wyndham Hotel I stayed in seemed to have been stabbed 4 times. No blood stains, though.
