Two nights ago, I stayed at a Wingate Inn. When I arrived, I had two people thank me for helping them find a glich in the computer software. The next day, I talked casually to the manager and found out somethings that I personally found interesting.
It used to be that they had to change the rates at various websites and Triprewards is upgrading their members location by location to allow them to make (1) shop entry and the rates will go to all websites and update.
For me, what happened was I received several nights free, they changed the rates and the next day, they went back to the old rates and I booked somemore. As I understand it now, they have fixed the problem at this location.(and therefore all locations with the new software)
Once more and more locations start to use this software, the fewer discrepancies will be found. Harvest where and while you can.
This said, I will continue to search.
I asked why they have this Guarantee, and it was his opinion that it was to build customer loyalty.
GOOD LUCK to all in the search for "CHEAP"!
