Just checked my invoice from the Days stay and noticed it doesn't show the Wyndham number. Didn't present a card at checkin as it hasn't arrived yet, I was assuming that because I'd made the res from my account on the Wyndham Rewards site it would be on the booking anyway.
Now I'm starting to doubt myself......

As I think I may have mentioned earlier in the thread, W Rewards and their systems are patchy at best and seldom make it to the hotels. (In the UK at least) The best advice is to take a note of your number and ask for it to be added at check-in if it isn't logged on their system.
That said, I still think we'll mainly be retro-claiming for these no matter what.

Well, on further thought, I've decided that this is not good value after all. Here's why:
Zone 3 to Zone 1 rt in C is: 37500 + 210GBP = 37.5k + $330 + YQ of at least $250.
Cost = $300 (@$40/night * 7.5 nights) + $330 + $250 = $880.
The same could have been had for $700 on US during the TIB promotion. So, good for a C class ticket if you didn't splurge on TIB, but not that great otherwise. Anyone care to dispute my analysis?

I think a retro claim is inevitable. Just completed 4 $50 travelodge stays (none longer than 10mins, reverted to my Hilton room instead) in Boston this week. None have posted to Wyndham Rewards yet, nevermind DC. WR website suggests that it can take 4-6 weeks after stay for miles to post.
From what I can see (after looking at WR forum) WR may be worse than DC when it comes to crediting stays.
Still there is no pleasure without pain in the DC world, so onwards into battle for my 20k

Actually, the room was ok. I've stayed in worse, yet more expensive places.
And, even that I made a booking through WR website, receptionist had to enter the number again at the check-in. And it doesn't show on any receipt. I'll have to wait and see.

. Days hotels are meant to offer "additional amenities" such as "restaurants, lounges ... and exercise centers".Then again, the M11 at the STN interchange service area has a DaysInn and a Days Hotel next to each other...
My guess is that all DaysX properties should be regarded as DaysInn properties and, as such, eligible provided they are located in the relevant countries.

I just completed my 4th Days Inn stay and none of the receipts had my WR number on them, but each time they confirmed in was in the system. And 2 of the 4 stays have posted to the Wyndham Rewards page along with one of 5k bonuses as well. Probably nothing to worry about, but may want to call just to be completely sure.

I suppose the 5000 are "bonus" and will/should be in addition to the "traditional" ones for a stay?

My stays have posted after 3 days with the 500 miles and a separate 5k bonus posting on the 4th day so far.

Just completed my 3rd stay - nothing posted yet but last night I asked if my rewards number was on the booking and the receptionist said no but it was entered manually there and then.
Have sent an enquiry to Wyndham to make sure (but the reservation E-mails did include the reward number!).
Probably the same IT system as our favourite airline :-)
