Do nothing. Stay at the Wyndham. True, you are going to miss out on a few points, but your long term career prospects will be better. There are times and issues to go to war over....this isn't one of them.
Sometimes in life, you have to "take one for the team"...

call Wyndham and ask them if they would match your status.

Sorry! Was thinking Westin... Call Wyndham and see if they'll status match

Though I don't think they have tiers (I know nothin about By Request)

My understanding is that there are no levels for Wyndham. Looks like the "perks" improve as your stays increase.

I find it interesting that so many people are saying that your boss is a jerk, has ego problems, etc. If you intentionally piss someone off, you can't be surprised when they get pissed off. And if they outrank you...

This boss sounds like the type who likes to ruin careers simply because he does not like a particular person. He has an ego, and is probably a coward.

I had a boss like that and beat him up in the garage one evening. I told him if he reported it, I would beat him up again.
Is this a joke or are you actually proud of being a violent bully?

Committing multiple felonies is nothing to be proud of.

I think it's only a misdemeanor

But it was a fair fight. One can't always hide behind the law ya know, or one's appointed position of authority. Besides, people like me help keep the world in check

I didn't intentially piss him off. I just think it agitated him that I have better status than he does. This is not that big of deal. I will give Wyndham a chance and can pretty much tell you that he won't force me to do this again on the next trip.

I think it's the bosses who were being the bullies, don't you?

Thanks jmplatinum. I need all the support I can get around here.

Maybe I should put the "could be banned at any moment" phrase back in my profile
