Wyndham has announced they are adding the AmericInn brand and it’s 200 properties to the Wyndham loyalty program. Wyndham Rewards will officially replace the AmericInn’s Easy Rewards loyalty program on March 4th, 2018. AmericInn loyalty members can continue to earn and redeem points until March 3rd, after that date any unused points will be converted to Wyndham. The conversion rate will be 1 easy rewards point = 1,500 and these automatic conversions are expected to be finished by March 31st, 2018.
AmericInn’s reward program was fairly straight forward. You’d earn 1 point for every night you stayed and 10 points gave you $40 cash or $75 room voucher. Given that 10 points will convert to 15,000 Wyndham points and that is enough for a free night at any Wyndham property I think the conversion rate is more than fair. AmericInn did also have an elite program (requiring 5 nights or 3 stays at different AmericInn properties) and Wyndham isn’t giving AmericInn members any elite status.
I don’t think there are really any interesting AmericInn properties to use free night awards at, but I’d be happily proven wrong in the comments. Earlier in the year Wyndham announced the acquisition of La Quinta for $1.95 billion.
