DON’T DO IT…STAY AWAY FROM WYNDHAM TIMESHARE!!! We received a phone call from a rep with Wyndham offering us a discounted trip to Branson, MO. At the time of check in we were informed that we would have to attend a one-hour presentation. The presentation took 4 LONG HOURS of our day. We explained that we didn’t have much money to the rep after we said yes to a small package that required a $5,000 down payment. He made us apply for the credit card and charged the $5,000 on that. This was the beginning of a long journey with this company. The interest rate was not disclosed to us during the purchase, instead we were told not to worry because we can refinance for a lower one. THIS IS A LIE! NO BANK WILL REFINACE A TIME SHARE! Every vacation we took we were asked to come to an “owners update” leading us to believe some things had changed. This was not the case as we were BAGGERED every time to buy more points, until we did. When we finally stood our ground and said no, we were treated like we had a PLAUGE! Our monthly bill was raised to $1,200 and every time we attended a meeting, we were told a new lie. DO NOT LET THEM BAIT YOU, IT’S A WEB OF LIES YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF!!!

My husband and I were staying at Excalibur in Las Vegas and were approached by a woman offering dining and gambling vouchers if we attended a WorldMark timeshare presentation. We went at 9am and were presented with huge “one-day only” discount. They tried to give me a credit card and I said no so they told us that we could finance a loan for the full mortgage with NO down payment. The fees would always stay the same and we could get a booking only two weeks in advance. Then came the real pressure. Three salespeople all talking to us at once, asking questions and wanting signatures. They went so fast that we didn’t even know what was being signed. The contract closing was done in a private room over Zoom, and we never signed a document there. A loan originator on the Zoom meeting clicked “sign” for us WITHOUT OUR CONSENT. We tried to cancel on day 13 of the 14-day cancellation period we were advised of and got told we only had 10 days! After trying to get this resolved with no luck, we got a case opened with Owner Resolutions but have never heard from the case manager. I did not get a copy of the contract until later and that’s when I found out we only had 5 days to cancel!! We also noticed TWO other lines of credit on our credit reports. They signed us up for different credit cards without consent to cover our down payment! Stay away from WorldMark! They are deceitful manipulators and essentially are committing fraud!!

We have given Wyndham so much of our money because of this DREADED timeshare. We are so deep in debt because of the mandatory owners’ meetings they make us attend every time we walk into their resorts and pressure us to buy a low-rate vacation. Looking back now none of it is worth it. Wyndham totally took advantage of me; I’ve had 5 brain surgeries and been battling brain cancer since 2003. I get very tired quickly, I get blurry vision & I get confused from time to time. I let our Wyndham sales rep know this yet they would keep me there for 6-8 hours with no food, so every contract I signed was under duress. These meetings would always make us feel as though we were being held hostage until we bought more points. They always promised they would lower the interest rate & take thousands off their sales price making us feel crazy if we turned down their offers. I am so sorry that I ever got involved with Wyndham! I cannot sleep at night because I feel like I let my fniance down. He trusted my judgement and we ended up way over $100,000 in debt. We are in the process of selling our house, so I do not go bankrupt. That is what Wyndham has done to us, I share this so that others don’t fall victim to their SCAMS!

I booked a stay at Super 8 (Cheyenne St) Rapid City, SD. While walking to our room I noticed the filthy hallway carpets, that were also torn and some littering along the way. The room was no better. The carpet was dark but you could still see the filth. I made sure we wore shoes. The beds were clean. The first night I woke up itching like crazy. I got up that next morning and noticed bites all over my legs and arms. They were red and extremely itchy. I ended having to go to Urgent Care for treatment. ( Day 1 of vacation wasted). I got a RX and called Tom (GM) I told him what happened and they initially suspected bedbugs. He said he would try and get his exterminator. And asked if I wanted to leave or if it had to be sprayed I could go back into my room (sleep among toxic chemicals) or if it were BB's I would have to leave. After letting him know I never had or no way brought them. He got pissy and said it had nothing with being dirty. I told him I would come back later and see the outcome. When I arrived later ( Tom I was told was not there) the lady at the desk made a call after I explained the situation and told me they checked there were no BB's. ( My bed and room was exactly how we left it, so we knew they did not check). I told her something bit me and opted to leave. They did refund me my money. ( which was only right). I found a nicer,cleaner more welcoming hotel. (Sleep Inn by Choice). (As we were leaving a gentlemen went into our to check for BB's) So it was clearly obvious they lied completely about having checked earlier). Bad business. Later the next day, my bites got huge, bright red and seeping. I again went to Urgent Care (another vacation day blown). I was diagnosed with spider bites. I received another RX. (The next few days were miserable until the meds got a chance to work.) So the moral of this story is not to ever book at Super 8 and really take to heart multiple negative reviews.

While walking around in Las Vegas my wife & I were approached by a salesman who offered us free lunch and tickets to a Vegas show in exchange for attending a 1-hour presentation. That turned out to be untrue, as we spent at least 6 hours being berated by 4 different salesmen. It was not until they offered to open a cc to pay for the timeshare that I learned I had a credit freeze. The only way to remove this was to go back to the hotel where my personal computer was to retrieve my password as I could not remember it. They had a Wyndham salesman walk us all the way to our room. At the time it was just odd but now I see what a red flag that was. They did not trust us enough to come back. After the purchase I was surprised by a lot that was not disclosed to me at the time of signing. I had no idea that even after it was paid in full, I would still have to pay a monthly fee FOR LIFE! They told us this could be passed down to our kids but never the fact that they would inherit any sort of fees. In any way that Wyndham can deceive & disappoint, they will. Stay away from this timeshare trap!

We spent over $10,000 to get a free hotel night once a year, are you serious??? This mess with Club Wyndham Grand Desert started because we were offered a tour of their new hotel, free lunch & a $100 visa gift card, in exchange we attended their sales presentation. We had no idea what we were getting into by agreeing to this. On that day, right after lunch we were quickly brought into a closed room and assigned a salesperson. At first, we thought their sales pitch was nice, but after we said no, they quickly became aggressive. We had a team of about five different people trying to close us. This was incredibly uncomfortable & the pressure of it broke us. We ended up purchasing the lowest number of points, which turns out is barely enough points for a ONE NIGHT STAY!!! Now we are stuck with an enormous amount of debt for something we have used once! Quite frankly, we do not want this worthless timeshare & feel we were coerced into this purchase.

IF YOU GO TO A WORLDMARK TIMESHARE PRESENTATION, YOU WILL GET SCAMMED! This company will bait you with a “free gift” to attend a 30-minute presentation that will actually be 3 or more hours of mentally draining and high-pressure sales pitches. Each vacation you take will be interrupted by what they will describe as an informational meeting to update you on all the new benefits you will receive as an owner. These meetings are actually new opportunities for their sales staff to upgrade you with more points. I was LIED TO AND MISLED every step of the way! I was made to believe I was a part of some super exclusive vacation club that would allow me to book all the vacations my heart desired, to later discover that it was a MONEY PIT that was costing more money than the benefits I was receiving. I can never find availability that fits my schedule, unless I wanted to go to Phoenix, AZ in the middle of July when its 115 degrees. They give you all this information and then only give you a very small window of time to cancel. It’s all a part of a scam to get you in and get you stuck in a contract forever. I would give them a zero if I could with this review.

We were at the New York-New York hotel in Las Vegas when I was approached by some Wyndham representatives. Initially, they asked if we were guests of the hotel and if we wanted some free vouchers. Then they said they would give us the free vouchers for food or gambling and a free hotel stay but we would need to attend their short 90-minute presentation. We were in that room for over 4 hours! We thought this would be a quick presentation, so we had our young children with us. Our children became increasingly more restless and hungrier as the hours went by. Instead of being sympathetic, the sales staff utilized this as a way to pressure us into a purchase. We were told that this would be an investment opportunity, we could take a minimum of two vacations per year, that we could resell this at any time or rent our timeshare points for a profit, and that the Hawaii vacations we wanted would be easily obtainable and available. They also signed me up for a high interest credit card to offset the Maintenance fees. These are all lies, and we found out later that you can buy a timeshare on the internet for $1 and it is virtually worthless for resale. They never told us that our children must inherit this when we pass away and the maintenance fees continue to increase forever and the children would have little hope of selling it. The reward points from paying the Maintenance fees on their high interest credit card do not even come close to offsetting the monthly fees. They did not mention the fact that the $6,000 charge (down payment) they put on the card was nonrefundable. When we returned home, we discovered that they never gave us a copy of the contract! When I sent a letters to Windham requesting to terminate the agreement, a representative called me and when I said I want all communication is writing, they said they do not have time to write back to all the owners… I could go on and on, this has been the worst experience and its never-ending! Do not buy anything from Wyndham or trust a word they say.
