Many of you have emailed lately with excitement for the new Wyndham Rewards program. A flat 15,000 points for every hotel seems like a great opportunity. I’ve been semi-eager to post my thoughts, but something held me back from a slow motion, arms-extended embrace. Today, reader Rob ensured I’d slow my roll for now, “MileNerd – I tried to book a stay in Kauai with my Wyndam points. One problem. No availability in 2016. I searched dates for 30 minutes. Nada after December.”
This is far from a sure thing. Maybe I’ve just been burned by hotel chains one too many times. So take this one as a friendly “wait and see” post about future Wyndham shadiness. Is it possible that availability at their best hotels is going to disappear soon? Hell yeah. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen something like this (see: Hilton’s standard rooms). Again, this is only based on one email so far. But keep your eyes open…
