Dissatisfied and disgusted are the only words that come to mind to describe my experience with WYNDHAM! When I originally made my purchase of 105,000 points in 2017, no one told me it would be for 1 specific property. I was told that I could vacation anywhere but that was not the case. As a bonus, I was given another 145,000 points but as it turns out, they expire. Again, information that was left out. One of the things I told the salespeople is that I wanted to go to Jamaica. I was told that if I have an RCI membership, it works with my Wyndham points, and I could visit Jamaica. Turns out that 105,000 points would not be enough for me to travel internationally! In 2018, I upgraded in hopes of solving my issue of not being able to go anywhere but even after the upgrade, I still could not get into any locations I wanted. During August 2021, I was told if I upgraded again, I would now have titled Wyndham access. I was suckered into the upgrade when the saleswoman told me the new loan would be interest-free, as well as the credit card she signed me up for. She neglected to say it was an introductory period and that interest starts on both in 2022. If you sign up with Wyndham, you can look forward to them manipulating and deceiving you at every turn. Enjoy high interest rates and increasing maintenance fees with your “relaxing” vacations.

There is a really big scam going on. In Which circus circus Los Vagas is also involved. Anyone who enter to go to amusement park at circus circus, stuff stop them in the lobby. Force them to go to worldmark location for new hotel walk around and free lunch or dinner. In return they will get 3night 2 days free stay voucher. Gambling voucher for $75. Fuel voucher $25 and most important free tickets for amusement park. All this for only $50. That visitor paid at the circus circus. All right when you will get there. Whole different story. They will bound you for 2 hours, if you left before no vouchers and $50 lost. Then will will try to run your credit without telling you what they are going to sell. When my husband and I stop for that and ask tell us first what it is for. Their behavior changed. They were so disrespectful because they know we are not going to buy their stupid deal 12000 credit for $23000. That’s rubbish. You can get a week resort in that at somewhere in America. When my husband said it’s not worth it for us. Here you go. “Oh you guys live in a box hotel room, you deserve that” then they said to my son “your father will never afford to take you to Europe trip or international”. They make sure to make you leave before 2 hours so they don’t have to complete the voucher commitment. Please watch out for these scammers. When we try to talk to circus circus manager. She was also so rude and not taking any responsibility for all this scam.

Wyndham is horrible. Do not let them get you. Available rooms on Airbnb, not available on Wyndham.

I have been insanely frustrated with Worldmark by Wyndham! I have been an owner for 8 years and all I have to show for it is wasted money and thousands of dollars of debt. Being roped into my latest upgrade in 2019 was the final straw. My biggest issue is the fact that I can NEVER get a reservation for when and where I want. When I expressed this in 2015, I was assured that an upgrade would solve my problems. Well, it didn’t. Years went by and I had the same problem over and over again. In 2019, I was finally able to book a trip to Branson and was invited to another meeting. Again, I voiced my displeasure and was given the same answer as 4 years prior. An upgrade will solve everything. They brought out even more information about the upgraded “property” being a “legitimate real estate investment” with the opportunity to rent it out for additional income. All lies! Because I did not know that at the time, I agreed to the upgrade. Did it fix anything? NO. Am I still wasting money for nothing in return? Yes. In fact, the full amount of the loan was never disclosed so I found out later that by the time I pay off this newest contract, I’ll be $47K in the hole! All of this to be members of an “exclusive” club. Here is a helpful hint, do not buy a timeshare. Go online and book the same rooms as a non- owner but stay away from those presentations!!

We are discovery pass members and experiences an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE after trying to book our first stay using our credits. We got to the resort only to hear our reservation was canceled. I understand that human error could have occurred during our talk with the agent when we looked into the possibility of changing the dates (wherein the agent just canceled our reservation in whole), BUT the shocking thing is, we did NOT receive any email about the cancellation. If we did, we would have immediately tried to fix the miscommunication. We were stuck finding alternative accommodations in the middle of the night and wait until the weekend was over to speak to a representative. In which we were informed that they do not send cancellation emails and sided with the agent after we insist they go over the call. In no way did we feel we were heard or cared for. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS ALL THE FREE THINGS WE GOT IN VEGAS AFTER LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION.

I was visiting the fair in Del Mar in 2019 when I was approached by a woman who worked for Wyndham at one of the booths offering free vacations. The only catch was that I had to sit through one of their sales presentations and since I was told that there was no pressure to purchase, I decided to accept. When I arrived at their Anaheim resort, I was given breakfast and then introduced to a member of their sales staff. The woman I met with told me that being an owner with Wyndham would be making an investment that would continue to grow in value and that after the loan was paid off, I would be able to travel for the rest of my life with no additional cost. At no point were things like the ongoing and ever-increasing maintenance fees mentioned! I have now learned the truth – this purchase is completely worthless! When I have tried to contact Wyndham for assistance with resolving this issue, they have been no help. All they have done was tell me to contact a different company to sell it, so I did and at least those companies were honest and told me timeshares have zero value.

We spent $17,000 to buy additional "points" with the promise that we'd have access to the Wyndham properties. I guess *technically* we do...but they make it next to impossible to actually use them (can't even book through a website or see availability, & we have x amount of Worldmark only points, x amount of points for other properties, but they use the "other" points for the Worldmark property vs saving them for a Wyndham property). We go to in demand properties that require feats of patience & understanding of loopholes to get into, and they are nice, but when we get there, they aren't even close to capacity - they could allow more guests to use them, but they don't (I imagine they don't want the expense of running them at full capacity). Try to have a meeting to discuss how to get/use what was sold to us, and we get NOWHERE aside from talking in circles and trying to sell us more of what's not even working in the 1st place. I'm not even listing all the ways they give us the runaround. The service people you see at the properties (desk, housekeeping, etc) are always kind & helpful. The people who run this company have 0 ethics - a pox on all their houses! Don't buy a thing from them.

Doing business with Wyndham has been an absolute nightmare. I have been an owner for several years but since my last upgrade in July 2021, I have been severely unhappy. I had finally used my points for the first time to go to Daytona Beach and while checking is, I was forced to attend an update meeting. I made it clear that I did not want to buy any more, but I was told the meeting was strictly to review changes. As you may have guessed, this turned in to a sales meeting. I already had a contract with another timeshare and was told that if I traded it in, I’d get a better interest rate on the $8,000 I still owed on my current Wyndham contract. It turns out that instead of refinancing my current contract, they upgraded it! I should have suspected something when my sales rep told me not to tell the finance officer that I was refinancing. By the time I met with the finance person, I was having a panic attack and instead of doing anything to comfort or help me, I was taken back to the sales rep who proceeded to guilt trip me in to completing the purchase. Now I have more debt than I started with and must pay for ANOTHER 10 years. The monthly payments and the maintenance fees have gone up from what I paid before the upgrade. I was swindled by these people that promised me a “refinance”. Avoid these snake oil salesman at all costs!
