Wyndham has announced their intention to sell hotel chain Knights Inn to RLH Corporation (Red Lion) for $27 million. Starting May 2nd, 2018 Knights Inn will no longer be part of the Wyndham Rewards program.
- Members can continue to earn Wyndham Rewards points for Qualified Stays at Knights Inn hotels with check-in dates on or before May 1, 2018 and checkout dates on or before May 10, 2018. Members may also redeem Wyndham Rewards points at a Knights Inn hotel between now and May 1, 2018.
- Beginning May 2, 2018, members who check-in to a Knights Inn hotel will no longer earn Wyndham Rewards points for any nights of that stay, nor will they be able to redeem points at Knights Inn locations.
- Members may continue making reservations at Knights Inn hotels for stays with check-in dates after May 1, 2018, but should do so with the understanding that those reservations will no longer earn Wyndham Rewards points. Go free and go fast awards with check-in dates on or after May 2, 2018 should be honored, however, as of May 2, 2018, you may no longer book additional award nights.
- Subject to the above, any existing reservations you have at a Knights Inn will be honored.
In total there are 350 Knights Inn hotels across North America and another 47 hotels worldwide. I doubt this will really affect most readers (apart from those doing mattress runs), but interesting to note regardless.
