Hmm, that surprises me a bit. I had thought that Wyndham recently changed the GoFast cash amounts to 65% of average daily rate, significantly diminishing the value of the GoFast option (at least I thought I read this in FT and a lot of other blogs). Perhaps that’s just a guideline from Wyndham and maybe properties can vary from that?

Not all properties have switched away from the standard 'whole number' co-pays, thankfully. I recently booked a place in Charlotte for a $35 copay, when the new rate would have been something like $80. The old good values are becoming harder to find, but they aren't gone just yet.

Wife's stay still not posted after 6 days???
My wife did her 2nd stay for the 15000 bonus points last Thursday 5/10/18 and the stay shows under her previous reservations but the points have never been posted which should make the 15000 bonus post. She sent a missing stay report last night, How long does this normally take and has anyone else had a problem with a stay posting?

wyndham rewards noob here. can I combine this with various promos on their website? for example they have some $8 off best rate promo code on the site right now.
i'll be doing at least 2 stays next month of 5-8 days each, what would be the best way to structure my booking to maximize rewards? i have platinum status (match from caesars)

Does anyone know if rates from those red travel coupon books count as a qualifying rate to earn rewards? The person at the front desk when I called didn't know. I need a second night for this promo and just want the cheapest rate. Thanks for any knowledge!

I'm not sure if there's a way to "maximize" it much, without breaking it up into multiple stays (which would requires switching hotels). All WR promos are typically stay-based, not night-based. You'll simply earn normally (per dollar spent) on any additional nights (past the 1st) in each stay.

What do you mean? This offer is capped, you only only get 15k once for 2 stays, nothing other than normal 1000 minimum points per stay for any stays after that. So what is there to repeat?

When I search on the Wyndham website it only seems to show me Ramada and Day Inn properties, none of the others.
Does anyone else get this ?
Any workarounds ?
I've never set a filter on the search. (See link at bottom).
I'm looking for a couple of mattress runs in the UK to qualify for this 15k.
I've left it late I appreciate :-(
Any suggestions for which properties generally come up cheapest ? Specific Travelodges perhaps ?
Also anything in France for my parents ?
Thanks for any assistance :-)
Don't really know much about Wyndham properties to be fair.
Cheers.
Search link should also show Travelodge & some others :-(
