I'm La Quinta Elite and have been for years. Yesterday I opened a Wyndham rewards account and clicked on the match my status button. It matched me to Platinum, but when I went back later in the day to check, the status had been downgraded to Gold. This morning it's still showing Gold.

I have to phone, but I think La Quinta rewards people are going to get shafted in this changeover, especially people who aren't at the higher status levels. I'm not transferring any of my 60K points until the last minute, and it would apparently be done automatically, but I don't trust them. I have La Quinta stays at the end of March, what a mess.
