The challenge with Wyndham is that they don't heavily enforce brand standards, so inconsistencies exist within their brands to a much greater degree than Marriott. In addition, Wyndham will do quite a bit not to lose a property. For example, when the eight Italian owned Viva Wyndham properties wanted to leave Wyndham, they were offered a deal to remain Wyndham branded properties, but not participate in Wyndham Rewards. They are not required to pay for points, redeem points, or recognize status. I know of no other major chain that allows properties to opt out of their loyalty program.
