Wyndham Updates their Terms and Conditions re: Geography

I just noticed this today. Finally there is mention of Hawthorn. While it is not included as of yet, I expect that it will be as it becomes integrated into the chain.

One thing I love is the clarification that Days Inn guarantees are worldwide.

"Guarantee applies only to reservations made at the wyndhamrewards.com web site or the Wyndham Rewards toll-free number for participating Wyndham Rewards hotels in the United States and Canada. The Guarantee only applies for Wyndham Hotels and Resorts in the United States, Canada, Caribbean and Mexico. The Guarantee applies worldwide for Days Inn. The guarantee does not apply to Hawthorn Suites hotels. "

Read the updated terms and conditions here.

TravelGlitch.com is playing with our minds...

Has anyone noticed that for the past week or so, TravelGlitch.com has been basically posting travel glitches, but withholding the hotel's identity by saying "there is a mystery hotel somewhere in (Huge Geographical Area). Go find it."

I find this confusing at best. While it may appeal to those who like a good game of finding a needle in a haystack, I'd think more often than not, this would frustrate the majority of people.

Now, sure, we've had our ups and downs with TravelGlitch. I berated him for charging $25 for his email notification service (did anyone actually fall for that?!), and for stealing BRG opportunities and posting them as his own, and for witholding information to get people there at a specific time all at once, to inflate his page impression numbers, and thus recieve a bit more income. But, I really speak from the heart today - if he thinks that he's going to win friends by teasing people, he's going to be rudely awakened when he loses all of his readers.

What are all your thoughts on his "new style"? Am I alone here?
