http://www.wyndhamrewards.com/1000/?...rid=1102703308 Looks stackable to me: To qualify for the Wyndham Rewards® 1,000 Bonus Point Promotion and earn 1,000 bonus Wyndham Rewards points per qualified stay, the member must (i) stay at a qualifying rate at a hotel participating in the Wyndham Rewards 1,000 Bonus Point Promotion (ii) check-in between July 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009 and, (iii) check-out no later than September 30, 2009. Stays with a check-out date after September 30, 2009 will not receive any bonus points. If a member does not elect to receive Wyndham Rewards points in their member profile, they will receive their regular airline miles or rail points for the qualified stays and 1,000 bonus Wyndham Rewards points in the promotion. Rates offered by most on-line travel agencies and certain other rates do not qualify. One stay includes all consecutive nights at the same hotel regardless of check-ins or check-outs.

Cheapest Rates
Was wondering what hotel/cities have the lowest rates to qualify for this promo. I found a $30.59 rate in Tucson. Can anyone find anything better?

OK Im THICK please explain why mattress run
I take it that with tax etc it will cost me say $150 for 3 nights that will give me 10,000 miles so for 25k that would cost me $375 heck for $375 I can buy almost any transcon tkt and earn 5000 EQMs and fly when I want to and not when or if the Carrier has a Saver seat available for the dates I want to go
that same $150 can get me 2 nights at certain *W Hotels that will yield me 2 more stay credits toward Plat as well as a free weekend night up to a Cat6 anywhere which can be worth a few $100 So right now I wont be doing this promo at least not before 8/1 when *Ws promo ends. But cant see doing a MR just for the Miles as for me it doesnt add up. Now if I needed a place to sack out and dont mind Basic Motels thats someting else |

That is why you don't redeem miles for a domestic coach reward ticket. Save up for int'l F or something good like that.
I understand if it can be had a FC to Europe would mean paying $1500 but since its only good 1 time per Carrier then all 1 can earn is 1/10 of a free FC to Europe, but on paper its $1500 for a FC even thou you cant actually earn 100k on 1 carrier thru the promo again not a bad thing , but not something Id do a mattress run for. heck 2 orders of coins can get me that same 10k w/o a dime out of my pocket:cool: |
Can anyone tell me if I will earn points if I book on Expedia?
Or do I at least have a good chance of earning points if I book on Expedia? |
7 nights and 7 brands and 36,548 Div Miles
Wyndham accomplished what they set out to do. They got me to try brands I have either never used or haven't used in over 20 years. Because they have confirmed that I can repeat brands and still get the bonus for every three brands I use until Sept 10 I calculate that each night is worth: base miles from Wyndham + 3,333 bonus miles from Wyndham + 50% bonus on both base & bonus miles from the US Airways 50% summer promo. Here's my report ranked best experience to worst:

I've been enjoying some very cheap stays and buiding back up the account of an airline I've actually never flown but just burned two biz class tickets to Europe on. So $$$ saved (lots of personal stays) and 10k to boot for every 3 stays, this one makes a lot of sense in my world. I don't think I would have done this promo from a pure mattress run angle unless I needed 10k to top off an account for international tickets as Upstate mentions. As always YMMV so do what makes sense for oneself, gotta love FT^ |
DARN!! Stays 3,4,5,6 & 7 posted today. Okay that's the good news. But my first 2 stays did not. Three through seven were Days Inn, HoJo, Travelodge, Baymont, and Super 8. They all posted today the 15th. The stays were for 7/5 through 7/9, one night each. Pretty fast posting. The first two were Ramada and Microtel on 6/26 and 6/27. I verified when checking in at both hotels that my WR # was in the reservation. I verified again when checking out the following morning.
Does anyone have experience with different brands posting with different lag times? I contacted WR via their web site. Last time I did this the response was fairly quick. However the first time I used their web site to contact them I did not hear back for 3 weeks. |

So with what will be 9 Stays to go I should have any problems getting it done by 12/31 which would have been alot harder w/o these 12 Stays |
Still a little unclear as to what a "qualifying rate" is. From the T&Cs:
Qualifying Rates include all rates except for the following: employee/family, travel agent, group, wholesale, package transportation/crew and other special contract rates, or free night stays. Most rates available through tour operators and travel websites (excluding Wyndham Rewards.com and the Participating Hotel Chain websites) such as Priceline, Hotwire, Expedia, Travelocity, and Orbitz are wholesale rates and therefore do not qualify to earn Wyndham Rewards points, airline miles or rail points. I'm just confused, because I book Choice properties with a legitimate SOS code all the time and they're always eligible for points/miles. |

I had the same problem with a Microtel stay in June. Just fill out the missing credit form. My points posted within a week after doing that.
