The Wyndham Championship Trivia Contest runs for the next 18 weeks until the Wyndham Championship PGA Tournament August 12-18, 2013 at Sedgefield Country Club, Greensboro North Carolina.

Wyndham Championship Facebook page has a sweepstakes for 25,000 points per week. Answer the weekly trivia question for a sweepstakes entry. Each week one winner will be selected for 25,000 points. One of the 18 weekly winners will be chosen to receive the one million points grand prize.

Additionally, upon submitting an answer to the weekly question, users will be presented with a 50 percent off promotion code to purchase tickets to the Wyndham Championship, hosted annually at the storied Sedgefield Country Club, and played on the legendary Donald Ross-designed course. The Wyndham Championship, one of the oldest events on the PGA TOUR, attracts some 80,000 spectators each year, and is the last stop for players to earn points before the start of the PGA TOUR playoffs and the race for the FedEx Cup.

Travelodge and Thriftlodge properties in Canada have joined Wyndham Rewards according to a press release yesterday. This adds 91 hotels in Canada for earning Wyndham Rewards points and grows the loyalty program portfolio to 380 Wyndham brand hotels in Canada.

There is no history given in the Wyndham news release for why Travelodge was previously not part of Wyndham Rewards. The other good news is these properties in Canada will earn 10 points per $1 for hotel stays.

15 of 16 Wyndham Hotel brands earn 10 points per dollar. Hawthorn Suites extended stay brand earns only 5 points per dollar.

One of the great values of Wyndham Rewards is the point-to-miles exchange rate is 10 points = 4 miles for most frequent flyer program partners. This gives Wyndham Rewards the best points-to-miles exchange rate at the base level. SPG, Hyatt, Marriott and Club Carlson only exceed the miles earning rate of Wyndham Rewards when a member is a high elite level and/or exchanging a large number of points.

Now if only the 200+ Super 8 hotels in China start participating in Wyndham Rewards promotions…

Wyndham Worldwide started a Facebook page promotion Sep 29. Wyndham will donate $1, up to $60,000, to its corporate charity program “Wishes by Wyndham”  for every new person who “Likes” the page.

Each time the Wyndham Worldwide Facebook page gets 500 new fans, a drawing for 25,000 points will be held among all the entrants. There will up to 12 drawings for 25,000 points.

You may only enter once during the promotion period, but once you have entered you are eligible for all the subsequent prize drawings. So get in early for better odds of winning 25,000 points.

Promotion is open only to legal residents of 50 U.S. states/D.C. and Canada, excluding Quebec. Promotion ends when 6,000 new fans are reached or December 31, 2010, whichever comes first. (Currently there are 3,834 fans, but I do not know how many of these are “new” fans in the past two days since the promotion started.)
