I had a confirmed reservation on Reno for the night of Saturday, July 29th. I arrived with my family at ~7:00pm to check-in and was told they were overbooked and could not give me a room. No one had called to tell me this prior to my arrival and no one tried to find any other accommodations for us. I asked why I had not been notified when I had a confirmed reservation and I was told by the night-shift clerk that he couldn't help me and to call Worldmark. We were left stranded in Reno without a place to stay and by the time we found out, it was too late to call Worldmark for assistance.
We called them the next day and were given a case number, and a representative took down all the information. He told me they would follow-up within 3-5 days. A month later, and after Many follow-up calls, I still have not been able to talk to anyone who will help me get resolution. There is no accountability by anyone at Worldmark by Wyndham.

Poor Customer Service
They are very poor at taking responsibility for their mishaps and lack of functioning applications. They are not for their customers in no shape, form, or fashion. Each representative say they will note the account for the next representative, you call the account is noted, but no one follows up. Everything is the customer's fault, they can tell you, the customer what you need to do and how you can make things work / better, but they don't focus on what they can do to make the customer's experience better or even how they can function better. I can say a lot more, but all I will say is, poor customer service to the maximum!

Deceptive Practices and Manipulation by WorldMark by Wyndham
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to file a formal consumer report against WorldMark by Wyndham, a company that has demonstrated a shocking disregard for transparency, honesty, and ethical business practices. My experience with this company has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I feel compelled to share the details of my ordeal to warn others about the deceitful tactics employed by WorldMark by Wyndham.
I initially entered into an agreement with WorldMark by Wyndham for their timeshare services, which were marketed as an exciting opportunity to enjoy luxurious vacations around the world. However, my experience quickly turned into a nightmare. Firstly, I was promised that the service would be activated within 60 days, but it took an additional 30 days to see any progress. This delay was beyond the cancellation period, effectively trapping me in an agreement that I would have reconsidered given the true circumstances.
Furthermore, the company failed to disclose crucial information about their reservations system. I was shocked to discover that reservations are typically booked two years in advance, making it virtually impossible for any new member to secure their preferred vacation dates. This crucial detail was conveniently omitted during the sales process, leaving me and countless other unsuspecting consumers with a rude awakening when attempting to plan our trips.
Attempting to address these issues and cancel the service only revealed the true extent of WorldMark by Wyndham's unethical behavior. The cancellation team resorted to manipulation and abusive language in an attempt to prevent me from cancelling. Their disregard for customer concerns and resorting to such tactics is both appalling and unacceptable.
As if the deceptive practices weren't enough, the financial burden imposed by WorldMark by Wyndham is a staggering blow.
The financial debt and annual revolving dues have placed an undue burden on me, leaving me feeling trapped and deceived by a company that has no qualms about exploiting its customers.
I implore you to investigate WorldMark by Wyndham's practices thoroughly and take appropriate action to prevent other consumers from falling victim to their deceptive tactics. No one should have to endure the ordeal that I have faced at the hands of this unscrupulous company.

How many ways can they say we do not value our owners?
We have been owners since 2006. We have never liked their website. In the past it provided little customer data. We could not find history of our dues or loan payments.
Trying to book online was painfully slow but doable. Calling and having a representative book it was more dependable and slightly quicker.
In May of this year, we made the mistake of purchasing additional points. We wanted to be able to give each of our children the same number of points on our passing. Not a great investment but we want to encourage them to take time off!
The purchase was miserable the people we dealt with did not seem to know what they were doing. We finally got through it then the website was updated. Now we have ZERO historical data. Remember we have been members since 2006. Who updates their website but does not keep customer historical data these days? I wish we could sell all that we own from them but even if we try to sell back to them we lose a lot of money.
My new discontent started when I tried to use our own darn points. We have an existing reservation for August 2023 (we have it in writing and have verbally verified it with representative but there is no record of it in our profile). We tried to update the reservation to include another day (they do not allow booking of one day) and they informed me that I would have to pay additional $50 transfer fee because their fees have changed, and they have to redo reservation to add one day. We made the reservation in June. How many ways can they say we do not value long term customers.
We have always known a timeshare is not an investment but now we don't even believe Worldmark/Wyndham/whoever else they are calling themselves these days are a good vacation company. Do your homework before you buy.

Wasted 5 hours- Room of Liars
I would rather give 0 stars. We were lied to by Cody Lynch. We were held for 5 hours and pressed into a contract. We were adamant that we did not want them to run our credit or want a loan. 30 days later, we have a Wyndham Fin loan on our credit and credit score dropped 30 points. We did not agree to a loan.

I wish I could’ve give no star
I wish I could’ve give no star. Stayed at the WorldMark in Orlando Florida and were bitten by bed bugs room: . 4-314 this isn’t a nice place to stay. Terrible to have to go on vacation and contract bed bugs. My three young children had to go through this. Stay Away From there. Check beds and sheets before u visit

Is it fraud???
I appear to be getting incorrect information when trying to make a reservation. The website shows availability but will not let me finalize a booking (13 months in advance) There reservation representatives tell me there is NO availability. This cannot be true. It appears there may be some kind of fraudulent activity here. Where is all the inventory going? I have been a member since 1999 and have never experienced in all those years what is happening now. I have filed a wire fraud complaint with the FBI to get their actions on record.

After 26 years
After 26 years, the companies going downhill. Had a representative lie to me about specific benefits and then when I found out I was misinformed they tried to make me pay for more credits just to fix the mistake of the rep. The Lies-Promises of future personal assistance from the sales manager, when it is illegal for sales rep to talk to customers after the sale. My mom was promised this twice, 2021 & 2022, then purchased more credits at Seaside. Stating they are held to a higher standard as licensed Real Estate brokers in ORE. Bellingham office had us forge my father off the account replacing w/the daughter there, to buy more credits without him. It’s an unethical company money driven they don’t care about members no matter how long you’ve been there.
Complained to corp. office, they blamed us. Avoid at all costs. The debit this has caused will haunt me for years. Liars to your face.
