I don't mind buying the <$40 room and leaving if this is going to get me the bonus. I just don't want to be doing this only to give Wyndham a economic stimulus.

I have emailed 2 different persons on their executive board on this issue and no response. As you say a customer rep saying it's repeateable even to the point of the same 3 properties time after time is one thing. It's another to have someone up the ladder to confirm it in writing. It would be curious to know how much of a bounce their rsvrtns are due to thios promo. And speaking of rat holes, a Knights Inn in Orlando; I wouldn't even mess up the bed with my hands it looked so bad. I stood on it, kicked the sheets around, threw towels in the shower for 30 seconds then left.

OK, I just thought I'd clear up a question that I called a Wyndham rewards CSR about. I ask what if I ended up staying at brands in this order:

Travelodge
Super 8
Super 8
Ramada
Days Inn
Howard Johnson

She said that the 2nd stay at Super 8 ends up moving down the list until its able to be used as one of the 3 stays for the promo. So then the groups would be:

Travelodge
Super 8
Ramada

Super 8
Days Inn
Howard Johnson

I was afraid it would throw a wrench in the whole line up if you got an extra one in there.

On a side note, I have to say that after staying at Choice Hotels, Wyndham properties are a hard pill to swallow.

Anyone got the 10k miles after the 3rd stay?

per the T&C
Members should allow six to eight weeks after completion of registration and stay for the standard airline miles to be credited to their account, and six to eight weeks after the completion of promotion for the bonus 10,000 airline miles to be credited to their account
Since the promotion ends Sept 10 I would guess that the bonus miles won't be "due" until around October 24 at the earliest.

Response from Super 8 for on line survey.
 
Super 8 sent me a survey on line about my recent stay. It took a few minutes. I just received this reply via email from Super 8:

I hate to tell them that since the US Airways 50% summer bonus promotion has expired I no longer feel a need to stay at Wyndham properties. :p

Please email me an answer. Thank you"

Still waiting

I finally called CS and they confirmed that "you can stay at the same three brands, and even the same 3 hotels/different brands, over and over again and repeatedly get the 10,000 miles over and over again", but they refused to put that in an email, but said they would enter the statement in my record.

Then someone finally answered my email and said they saw my question was answered in my record, so they didn't answer my question.

So they don't want to clarify this in writing.:(

I guess having it in my record may help, if needed down the road.

Wyndham isn't my normal hotel program and I'm wondering if anyone else here is concerned like I am that after staying in some of these dives, that on some technicality, I'm not going to get all my bonus miles posted?

Actually I have two concernts. Same as n dakota but also with whether or not US will honor the 50% Summer Bonus promo when the 10K bonuses from Wyndham finally post. Wyndham promoted the two offers together - here.
Join the Triple Stay Promotion and earn more than 10,000 miles
Plus, earn 50% more Dividend Miles* with US Airways Summer Blockbuster with every stay through July 31, 2009. That means you could earn over 15,000 miles.

Hopefully Wyndham will back date the 10K bonuses when they post to the date of the 3rd stay. If not, I suspect it will be difficult for one to get US to honor the 5K bonus miles per bonus. I had 12 stays all ending before July 31 so I am expecting (read "hoping") to get a total of 60K miles.

Yep, that's why I got my question answered and entered into my account record. We'll see if that is of any value down the road.

I did my 3 stays Aug 3-5th and have only had 1 stay post (the Aug 5th stay).
I called Customer Service and they said I need to wait 6-8 weeks for them to credit a missing stay?
I filled out the on line missing stay request and didn't hear back from them in the 3-5 days it tells you that you will hear back.
I called the 2 hotels that haven't posted and they both confirmed my Wyndam # was on the record.

I sure hope this works out as these hotels were real dumps. The Knights Inn in Abilene TX had cockroaches jumping all over the place (meaning inside the room). Luckily it was so late that the kids thought it was just a dead bug. First time ever I actually put a chair up against the room door just in case....

Was considering doing 3 stays for my wife's account just close by in Austin so we wouldn't have to actually stay in the room but am a bit skeptical on getting stay credit.

We did a 3-day minor league baseball trip staying at Wyndham Rewards motels to get 10k points for my wife's account. One stay posted in a few days, the other in 2 weeks, and the 3rd only after almost 4 weeks. Each posted to her airline account on a Wednesday.

My two stays each posted to my account in less than 2 weeks.

I haven't had the bad experiences many have mentioned, perhaps because my standards are so low to begin with. There, now I've really jinxed myself for the up-coming final stay at a Days Inn in Wisconsin.

I have noticed that Microtel rooms are *really* small, and was amused that the back of the desk chair at the Wyndham Hotel I stayed in seemed to have been stabbed 4 times. No blood stains, though.

Do I have to complete my stay before Sep 10th or Oct 10th?

(iii) book a reservation for, and complete a total of three (3) stays at three (3) different hotel brands participating in the Wyndham Rewards program at a qualifying rate between May 14, 2009 and September 10, 2009, and (iv) complete his/her hotel stay by October 10, 2009. Members who check-out after October 10, 2009 will not receive the 10,000 bonus miles

Does this mean I have to complete my reservation by Sep 10th and Stay by Oct 10th?

Thanks

I would interpret the the T&Cs as meaning you need to check-in by September 10th and check-out by October 10th.

I managed to get a response from the CSR about the promotion....

-------

Hope I am jumping the gun but I am now looking at a potential future fight. Previously at the following two URLs...

http://www.wyndhamrewards.com/usairways/

and

http://www.wyndhamrewards.com/usairw...ode=Summer09UN

... the following was part of the copy and unique to the US Airways promotional material from Wyndham.
Plus, earn 50% more Dividend Miles* with US Airways Summer Blockbuster with every stay through July 31, 2009. That means you could earn over 15,000 miles.
You have to register for both promotions to get the Triple Stay bonus plus the 50% more miles from US Airways.
It is now gone... yet the promotion is still ongoing as it expires on Sept 10. I fear the following scenario: When the 10K miles finally post to my US account I will not see the 50% summer blockbuster bonus. I will wait an appropriate time for the bonus to post. After nothing posts I will contact US. US will tell me the bonus only applies to the posting through July 31 or something to that affect. I will contact Wyndham and they will say "contact US".

I hope I am wrong.
