Lifted from the comments, , changes to Wyndham’s Best Rate Guarantee aren’t as onerous as they looked at first:
I’m happy to announce that you may recieve 9 BRG free nights per month, due to a loophole in the T&C’s that doesn’t specify the chain. Thus, you may recieve one free Ramada BRG, one free Days Inn BRG, one free Wingate by Wyndham BRG and so forth – good news for us frugal travelers!
Dave shares the news on his Best Rate Guarantee Blog as well.
Hey Gary,
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts (the luxury branch of Wyndham Worldwide) has followed suit and changed their terms and conditions to the Wyndham Rewards brands T&C’s. There doesn’t seem to be any distinction now. In my opinion, they’ve actually gotten better (no 72 hour claim deadline, no mention of booking nonrefundable Webrates).
In any case, its now easier to get a Wyndham Resort free night stay, but you’ll be limited to one per month – not a problem, though, as Wyndham BRGs are rare at best.
