It's Wyndham. They're sneakier than any other hotel chain. Surprised it lasted as long as it did.

"Shhh" cancelled  >:(
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

They definitely killed it.

Used this extensively

the wyndham card gives 45k points at times, thats 15 room nights at 3k plus $65 each

at netanya ramada got 4 people in suite room which is normally $400 or more during high season

includes breakfast (if you eat the hashgacha) which is awesome and rivals the waldorf

was never sure why on ddf people didnt like the ramada much, i think it's a very decent hotel

fun while it lasted

https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/hotel-deals/daily-getaway-5-8-15k-wyndham-points-175-tryp-jerusalem-just-87-night/

Thanks, just bought two!  Also, above everyone is whining (I know it was a year ago...lol) about them changing the points + cash deal but now that the Tryp  is only 7500 points a night and only $87.50 a night TOTAL that's WAY better! Enjoy the NEW smokin' deal now since the other one is gone!

When the Wyndham offers a 45k bonus @shmooz mentioned below, I'll plan to get that card too... six nights right next to Rechavia sounds great to me!  If anyone sees that deal come up, please post in this thread.

Thanks @Dan for contributing to another amazing vacation for my family!

Anyone been there on Sukkos and know the sukkah situation?
Unrelated: has anyone come with an infant and had any issues? (if you put anymore then 2 guests they show no availability)

Yes, we stayed there for the last days of Succos last year. They have a sukkah where they serve breakfast every morning but they don't offer any other meals.

And the reason they don't show availability when adding and 3rd person is because the rooms are incredibly small and cant accommodate a 3rd person so you should call the hotel to inquire about the infant.

I get that I have stayed there multiple times, I just feel like (maybe unjustifiably), if the infant is not taking up any significant amount of space (sleeps with parents, or in small space) and does not eat, why then is it the hotels concern if they are present?

That's why I suggested that you just call the hotel. I can't imagine it will be an issue.

It probably isn't and they most likely won't care.  If the infant is going to sleep with you then I can't see them having an issue its just that the hotel may really want people to know that there really isn't any room for any other bedding (even a crib).
