The La Quinta Returns program ended on April 2, 2019, and La Quinta hotels officially joined Wyndham Rewards on April 3, 2019.

Here’s what you need to know:

Earn and Redeem

Wyndham Rewards Enrollment and Membership
- U.S. Members
La Quinta Returns members who were not yet Wyndham Rewards members as of 11:59 p.m. ET on April 2, 2019 were automatically enrolled in the Wyndham Rewards program, subject to the Wyndham Rewards Terms and Conditions and Privacy Notice. Members received their new account information on or around April 3. Any La Quinta Returns member who did not wish to be automatically enrolled in the Wyndham Rewards program had the option to opt out of doing so online through March 8, 2019 at www.lq.com/confirm. La Quinta Returns members also had the option to opt out between March 8, 2019 and April 2, 2019, by calling La Quinta Returns Customer Service. NOTE: Opting out resulted in the forfeiture of any LQR points not used by 11:59 p.m. ET on March 31, 2019. To terminate your Wyndham Rewards account on or after April 3, 2019, please contact Wyndham Rewards Member Services at 1-866-996-7937.

- Non U.S. Members (or those without a physical address on file)*: 
Non U.S. La Quinta Returns members were not automatically enrolled in the Wyndham Rewards program. La Quinta Returns members who wanted to enroll in the Wyndham Rewards Program had to opt in online to the Wyndham Rewards program by March 8, 2019 at www.lq.com/confirm, which required agreement to the Wyndham Rewards Terms and Conditions and an indication that they had read the Privacy Notice. Such La Quinta Returns members also had the option to opt in to enrollment after March 8, 2019 through April 2, 2019, by calling La Quinta Returns Customer Service.  NOTE: Not opting in resulted in the forfeiture of any La Quinta Returns points not used by 11:59 p.m. ET on March 31, 2019.

Point Transfer
La Quinta Returns members were encouraged to transfer their La Quinta Returns points into Wyndham Rewards points by March 31, 2019 in order to ensure they transferred at a ratio of one La Quinta Returns point to one Wyndham Rewards point. After March 31, 2019, points were transferred automatically, at a 1:1 ratio for Elite and Gold members, as well as for any Silver members who were also Wyndham Rewards Platinum or Diamond members at the time of transfer, but at a reduced ratio of two La Quinta Returns points to 1 Wyndham Rewards point for other Silver members.

Status Match 
- U.S. Members
New Wyndham Rewards Members. 
If you were a La Quinta Returns member, did not opt out of the Wyndham Rewards program, and were new to Wyndham Rewards on April 3, 2019, you were assigned a new Wyndham Rewards Member number.  Your Member Level was determined by your number of qualified La Quinta Returns nights between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018.

To determine your Member Level, please refer to the chart below.

Existing Wyndham Rewards Members. 
If you were a La Quinta Returns member, and were also a Wyndham Rewards member on or before April 2, 2019, any qualified nights you completed at La Quinta hotels between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018 advanced you to the subsequent Member Level in Wyndham Rewards only to the extent the number of La Quinta qualified nights met the number of Qualifying Nights required to reach such level in the Wyndham Rewards program. Qualified nights you completed between January 1, 2019 and April 2, 2019 were added to your Wyndham Rewards Member account as Qualifying Nights.

When assigning my Wyndham Rewards Member Level, what happened to Qualifying Nights that were above my assigned level but below the threshold for the next level? Did these rollover and count towards the next highest level?
No. These nights did not rollover.
