But I haven't seen any "announcements" yet about any details regarding what's changing after the merger next week.
I was able to get 15K whydham miles for all 3 of our accounts for emailing Eliot with my concerns. I mentioned the 4 year expiration being a major issue (now that redemptions are 30K) in all 3 emails and was never told it was going away.
She did however mention cheaper properties would be available ( not in Hawaii though) so I think if the 4 year expiration was also changing it would have been brought to my ( or my wife or dads) attention in the return emails.
I guess we'll know for sure next week.
I normally don't complain about Wyndham or any other hotel reward program but I have been saving Wyndham points for the past 3 years for a big family vacation next year and was planning that around being able to get a condo in Hawaii at 15,000 Wyndham Points per night.
I just saw the rate is going to 30K per night so instead of the 10 nights I was hoping for I can only get 5 nights which is far too short for a trip to Hawaii from the midwest. The current 4 year expiration means I can't even just save more points as if I do points I already have will be expired.
I think this is very unfair. Thank You. XXXX XXXXXXX
