I signed up under the option of double points. I received single points and the airline miles option instead. Doesn't bother me as I really didn't care which one I got, but at least I did get full credit for the promotion.

So, I had 3 stays that posted as airline miles but did not also get Choice points. I used the 'report missing stay ' link twice with absolutely no reply from Choice other than the ' 'we will reply within 72 hours' canned response. I did it a third time and within a few hours got responses that the points had posted - Indeed all 3 stays posted on 12/27 as '2011 Winter Promo'.

I think it is ridiculous that I had to go through this much work to get what they promised.

Hoping they approve Mr. Kipper's status match request, so that he can sneak in under the, "book using any channel," and still qualify for this promo. Has anyone who is not a Plat or Diamond been able to book through any channel and still received the promo points?

I still have not had any points post on this promo without using the 'missing stay form' on the web site. Doesn't matter whether it is a couple of days or a couple of weeks after. It seems they are not going to post the points until you complain. The miles have been no problem.

Many Choice hotels used to have an issue where they could only hold one frequenty whatever account at a time. So if you were earning miles, they could see your FFP #, but they couldn't see your Choice #, and thus couldn't see your Choice status, and thus if there was anything (say, priority of getting the newspaper at your door, or whatever) that was keyed to your status, they couldn't honor it.

I wonder if there are still vestiges of this in Choice's system, making the attempt to let you earn points and miles simultaneously backfire? (It would be so like Choice to not realize such a limitation before creating such a promo for the first time in their history. Never before have the had to combine point earnings and miles earnings on the same stays.)

Most of my stays are Hilton or SPG, so, I sometimes don't think to check the threads for Choice. My bad luck. This promo started 12/1/11 and ends 2/28/12. I received snail mail from Choice on 2/8/12 alerting me to the promo. Now, what good is that when it's almost over? I guess I won't cry over spilled milk. I earned the maximum last month for the current Wyndham Rewards promo.

You can hope that after the end of the current promo, a better promo will come. Like 2 stays = 8k points.

Or my favorite from 2007 - 3 stays = 16K points.

<nostalgic sighs>

I was in a position where hotel-hopping was a matter of turning left or turning right, and at the end of the promo I was about 250K Choice points richer. And you better believe I got good value from them, including a couple of the Preferred promo hotels.

Them was the days, my friend. We hoped they'd never end.

Hey! I could write a song ...

kipper

After reading all of the problems people had with this promo, I was figuring that Mr. Kipper's points wouldn't post at all, or that the double points wouldn't post. Surprisingly, they posted without a problem, 2 days after his check-out date from the hotel.
