If you’re looking to get robbed and defrauded, Wyndham is the way to go! You would never expect a prominent company like Wyndham to be so unethical and shady.

I used some of my points to get a few gifts cards. They were sent regular mail which they say takes 7-10 business days. I never received them, and of course they can't be tracked. On my third call 17 days later I'm told that they are not responsible, and I don't get my points back according to the terms and conditions. Marriott used to appreciate their customers but that has changed over the last 5 years or so.

Very disappointed with Marriott rewards. This policy makes me regret having being gone loyal to Marriott for so many years.
