Good news. I need to be thinking about how to take advantage of this.
Doctor of Credit blogged about this on June 4th. Apparently there is a Comenity Bank credit card that can get Total Rewards Platinum status. (Status Match) Helpful to those of us carrying the old version Wyndham credit card, which does not give Wyndham Status, but does offer other benefits.

Just approved for Wyndham CC
 

Just got approved for the credit card that gives Platinum status--I have a Vegas trip in about 6 weeks--how long before my Wyndham rewards status changes to Platinum? --honestly the only reason I got this card.

The Whyndham/Caesars link does not work.

EDIT, link now working

Allison did you get the PM I sent you a couple weeks ago ?


Most of the benefits seem to be coming later this summer, if your staying at a Caesars property you can probably get something on your next stay

It generally only take a day or two from the time of your Barclay's credit card approval to the time your Wyndham Rewards account reflect Platinum status.

The website to link the account to match status is frustrating. I am Platinum in Total Rewards so tried to match my status with Wyndham. I'm in Canada, and the Wyndham matching screen has a field for "Zip Code / Postal Code". I enter my Canadian Postal Code, and I get the error "please enter a valid Zip Code". If I try entering a dummy Zip Code, I get an error that it does not match my records.

I will try calling WR to get the status match, but it would be nice if the website worked for Canadians!

I was approved Friday and as of today ( Tuesday night) I am still showing Blue Status.

I am in know hurry for status so just a DP

EDIT, Wyndham card arrived today, activated and still show Blue Status

EDIT again, disregard my timeline as even though I entered my Wyndham number on my application for some reason Barclay issue me a new Wyndham number so I now have to merge the accounts

It looks like as of today I've been dropped to Blue and the status match form on Total Rewards is erroring out. Anyone get this to work to be back to Diamond again?

Mine was erroring out Jan 1 and 2. Just worked now, and I status matched successfully.

Thanks for the head's up! Worked for me just now too.

Trying again in 2018 and getting the same error. Anyone in Canada been able to get this to work?

Just redeemed 15k wyndham points for a free night at Harvey's in Tahoe. Thought i'd never make use of this partnership...but there you go! $215 room rate.

Note: you do still have to pay the "resort fees". It was $29 for me. The website was very clear about this though, so i don't feel like it was a hidden charge. Quite happy.

Diamonds and Seven Starts Caesars members are exempt from resort fees, at least if you book through TotalRewards. I wonder if they waive them when you book through Diamond?

I was looking thru the perks on the TotalRewards website. I would assume that Platinum status with Wyndham Rewards would match to Platinum status with TotalRewards. Correct?

This particular benefit stood out to me: Complimentary stay at Atlantis, Paradise Island in The Bahamas. 3 free nights & Atlantis Casino Experience Pass ( Shallow Water Dolphin Interaction for One, Round of Golf for One, Sushi and Sake Sampler Platter at Nobu, Two Cocktails at Olives, Two Cocktails at Seafire Steakhouse.) if done during off-peak time.
Just to see the pricing I put in reservation for random 3 nights in March, and added on the shallow water dolphin interaction and round of golf....came to over $1400 with taxes.

Wondering if anyone has status matched and then took advantage of said offer? What was your experience like? Interested in knowing more from anyone who has details they'd like to share!

Bahama complimentary stay?
 

I saw that too and am very interested in more info if you (or anyone else) get it first.

thx.
