Didn't @Dan say he wouldn't post this? Not that I care
I still don't get the big deal. This stupid "hide common knowledge from everyone besides me" mentality is ridiculous.

Right, hide the fact that every room is bookable for $65 plus 3k points all year including summer and sukkos is stupid.

Correct, as well as selfish.

It was posted in this thread so it wasnt hidden and Dan didnt post it to DDMS for months. So it worked out well. Now lets see how long it lasts.

Yeah it seemed like a US queen sized bed, although I didn't measure or anything...

Was breakfast extra or included when points were used to purchase?

Was looking to book a points room for Shabbos HaGadol, but not seeing availability. So then I started checking a bunch of dates, and could not find a single date that had a free night award, searching various random dates in the next year.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there better availability if I call to book? Any suggestions? I'd go for cash and points or straight points.

TIA

I would say call or email them.
I called Wyndham Rewards to book.
Online showed no availability on the TRYP website. But on the WR website, it said “call”, so I called and booked.

3k+$65
Not anymore!
In a very Wyndham-typical move, they completely devalued the Go Fast (C&P) program without notice a few days ago.

It's now tied to the paid rate for the given night and basically offers something like a 35% discount on the paid rate in exchange for 3K points.

Plus, not all hotels even offer the Go Fast rate at all. For instance the Ramada Netanya has not Go Fast availability for the next few months at least.

I am not sure that is true, it is possible that it's a function of peak season vs. off season. I noticed that as well...

No, it's an official (unannounced) change
