Quick Thoughts
This promo is sure to sell out quickly. That’s because “Room nights will be fulfilled in the form of 15,000 Wyndham Rewards points – good for at least one free night at thousands of Super 8 hotels worldwide.” In other words, $8.88 + tax is buying you 15,000 points that you could use to book a Super 8.
I assume that you won’t have to use your 15,000 points to book a Super 8, so this will be a fantastic deal. We recently re-ran our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points and came to a newly increased value of 1.01c per point, though it’s worth pointing out that the 80th percentile (useful for the cherry pickers among us) was 1.28c per point. In other words, the 15,000 points here are easily worth $150 or potentially even more.
Keep in mind that only 800 “throwback rates” are available. You’ll presumably need to be online right at 8am on 8/8 to snag one of these. I’ll probably give it a shot because I appreciate Wyndham Rewards points and will be happy to pick some up this cheaply. I don’t have a pressing need to stay at a Super 8, but 15K points for $8.88 sounds “super” indeed.
