Just fyi, in the points game, the little transactions don't count (I presume you are going to book a $50-100 hotel with this). The difference in points is minimal.
It only matters if you do churning and manufactured spending. Otherwise if you do this every few weeks, gain a few hundred points, in a year you may have gained 5000 points!

Has anyone been credited from this promo yet?

Thanks...I don't even have a Mastercard (crazy I know, I have tons of cc's) but I was able to add my sisters to my Wyndham account to use Masterpass. But, I wouldn't be able to actually pay with that MC at the hotel since I don't physically have it and it isn't in my name.

I had two stays last week and my wife also had two. We spent a total of $144. So far we both received our standard 1000 point per night minimum but not the 7500/night bonus. We'll see if this is one of those that really takes 6-8 weeks. I'll update when received.

Earn a Free Night in Two Stays w/Masterpass
it was done in "sweeps" and ended up taking a variable of weeks (depending on when your stay was relative to the next sweep), but did not seem to take the full 6-8 weeks for most people.
And the later Visa Checkout promo was also done in "sweeps". (The biggest problem with that one was not how long it took, but how it ended early with no notice. They've warned of that this time around.)
"Sweeps" are necessary in most promos where two or more datebases (have to be checked. How you reserved the stay (Masterpass) is probably in a different database than is normally checked for awarding points, and thus I would except it to require "sweeps". (IHG also requires "sweeps" when they give you an Accelerate task to "pay for your stay with your IHG credit card".)

Hey guys,
Trying to do this challenge. Booked a stay at a less then ideal baymont inn for a current work trip. Anyways I made the reservations using masterpass, no issues, and the stays eventually showed up in the app. I checked in today, and the front desk lady asked me for my wyndham number as it wasn't showing in the reservation (despite me using the app to book it while logged on, and the app showing the rez). She put it back in. Now, when I click on the reservation in the app, I see "Failed to retrieve booking. Please try again later. Invalid JSON data: Value of required model key zipCode is null". I'm worried this is going to mess with the promotion I'm in. I have a stay tomorrow at a ramada inn that still shows up fine.
Any thoughts? There was no issue with payment so far, as the lady had the card I used through masterpass.

first 7500 posted, on 8/6!
I got my first 7500! It shows as "MasterPass Promo Bonus 2018", with "Adjustment" as the Activity Type. The posting date is 8/6, for a stay with checkout on 7/26.
I had another stay with checkout on 8/8, and that 7500 hasn't posted yet, but I don't expect it to post for weeks more, since obviously they posted sort of "sweep" on 8/6 and it'll be a while until they do the next "sweep" (in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the next sweep won't be until after the promo ends at the end of this month).
FWIW, thees stays are the same Super 8 that I successfully did all my Visa Checkout stays earlier this year.

Has anyone successfully stacked with the Lufthansa bonus miles promotion? https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/en-gb/...iles-and-more?
Normally, I'd assume no, except the Masterpass promo terms has the following, "Members who have elected to earn Travel Partner Currency in their member profile and who book and stay in accordance with the Promotion, will receive their base point earning in Travel Partner Currency with the Bonus denominated in 7,500 Wyndham Rewards points."

What a junky promo. I registered and used Masterpass THREE times in July and nothing posted. I wrote in last week, and got a crappy e-mail back that "you did not qualify because you did not use Masterpass". I wrote back and offered to prove that I had used Masterpass three times and two days later was granted the points as "a one time exception". Happy to have them, but an "exception??!!??!?!?!?!?!". I fulfilled the requirements of their promo!
