During our honeymoon in Seaside, Oregon, we were invited to a "one-hour" resort tour that turned into a 5-hour high-pressure sales ordeal, effectively ruining the remainder of our honeymoon. The salespeople made numerous promises that proved false, including access to exclusive resorts, Disney parks, and multiple free vacations. We were told this was a sound financial investment — never once was it referred to as a mortgage, which was a critical omission given we had just purchased a home and would not have agreed to taking on additional mortgage debt. We were also subjected to deceptive financial practices. Without our knowledge or consent, a salesperson used my phone to submit credit applications and selected a higher-interest lender despite both lenders approving us. We were never informed of our right to rescission, and the full cost of ownership — nearly $600/month in product-related fees alone, separate from usage fees — was never clearly disclosed. Since signing in August 2025, we have paid approximately $6,000 and have been unable to use a single promised benefit. Five reservation attempts failed due to unavailability. When we sought help through their Certified Exit program, our salesperson went silent after promising to "brainstorm" solutions. The exit phone line referred us to contacts who suggested renting out our credits or, in one case, literally laughed at our request for help. The misrepresentations, fraudulent actions, and manipulative tactics used to obtain our agreement are unconscionable. We strongly caution anyone considering a Wyndham timeshare to thoroughly research their practices before signing anything.

We have sent four written requests to Wyndham over the past four months regarding serious concerns with our ownership and have received no acknowledgment or response. The lack of communication is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. During the sales process, we were led to believe we would have flexibility to travel widely and easily. In reality, availability has been very limited, and we have been unable to use the ownership as expected—even after upgrading. At this point, we are requesting direct contact from Wyndham to address our concerns and discuss next steps, including cancellation options. Based on our experience, we would strongly encourage others to thoroughly research and fully understand the limitations before purchasing.

My daughter had just passed away in the ICU. I spoke with the front desk about a late check out and we agreed upon 11:30 am. At 11:05 am a non English speaking man came to my room, pounded on the door and then shouted a single word at me which I at first did not understand. After shouting this a second time, he begins tapping his wrist and shouting 2 more times. Now Im like "oh you want me to get out?" He says yes in the same tone of voice he's been using. At this time I try to explain but clearly he doesn't understand so I shut the door. 11:15am I am at the front desk to check out and trying to explain what happened as they are talking over me trying to justify his behavior. I just lost my child and I don't need this stress! I simply shouted out that if he didn't know how to talk to me maybe he should learn how! And left! Went and did a brain death test on my daughter in the ICU 7:30 at night another Wyndham called me canceling my reservation.. so I find ANOTHER hotel at which I am told they cannot rent to me. My child just died and I am 2500 miles from home the heartlessness I was shown by 3 different Wyndham hotels owned by the same man is disgusting! I didn't do anything wrong to their room, I got my deposit back! But after losing my daughter I have to search for a place to lay down because of How I was treated? CRAZY!!!!!

We purchased a Wyndham timeshare in March 2025 and have since experienced nothing but deception, high-pressure tactics, and unfulfilled promises. From the start, three salespeople approached us simultaneously, and we were rushed into a credit card approval before we could even consider our options. My wife, who is disabled and financially dependent on me, was pressured into signing despite my repeated objections — your representatives simply refused to accept no.  In June 2025, during a visit to Club Wyndham in the Smoky Mountains, I was subjected to a four-hour sales presentation after making it clear I had no interest in upgrading. I said no at least three times before finally signing just to leave. We were told financing would be no problem — a claim that proved completely false, as no lender will finance a timeshare. VIP upgrades promised to us were never honored on either of our two trips. Additionally, a $250 deposit is charged at every check-in and withheld for 30 days — a fee never disclosed to us.  During our October trip to Destin, I asked my representative to roll over 105,000 unused points. He promised to handle it and has never followed up despite multiple attempts to reach him. We were also subjected to yet another high-pressure three-hour presentation, despite being told the Smoky Mountains visit would be our last. When we requested a copy of our contract, we received only the final page — with no mention of the 15-day cancellation window.  In total, we spent $10,461.44 for two vacations during which not a single advertised benefit was delivered.

We were approached at a Walmart in Pigeon Forge, TN, and lured into a "two-hour" presentation with promises of free show tickets and no purchase obligation. The session ran nearly five hours, with high-pressure tactics used throughout, including a second representative brought in to "crunch numbers" after we declined. We were told a special offer was available only that day. We were misled throughout the sales process. We were promised the timeshare was a real estate investment, that we could stay anywhere, receive free trips, Disney Park access, and half-off attraction discounts. When we asked about exiting, we were assured Wyndham would simply buy it back. None of this has been true. No rescission period was disclosed, no truth-in-lending information was provided, and we were never told maintenance fees would increase or that additional assessments could be charged. We did not receive a copy of our contract at signing. Post-purchase, our problems only worsened. When we contacted Wyndham to request a copy of our contract, their representatives refused to provide it. This raised serious questions about what is buried in the fine print. We used the timeshare once in August 2025 in Pompano Beach, where we were charged $50 and forced to sit through yet another presentation. A sales rep there told us our ownership wasn't even valid and pressured us to upgrade. The amounts being withdrawn from our account do not match what we were quoted, and we are constantly pressured by "owner updates" to purchase more points. Wyndham's practices are predatory and their lack of transparency is unacceptable.

I have been a Wyndham timeshare owner since 2011 and deeply regret ever signing that contract. What was sold to me as a dream has become a nightmare. The ability to travel the world, receive owner-priority bookings, and build a legacy for my family. This has been nothing but a series of broken promises and deceptive practices. Since 2011, I used the timeshare fewer than 5 times due to extremely limited resort availability. Despite being told owners get priority, Wyndham consistently rents units to non-owners, leaving actual owners with almost nothing. I was also falsely told I could generate rental income by depositing points. But when I called to do so, Wyndham said no such program existed. The sales presentations are predatory. Advertised as 30 minutes, they routinely run 60–120 minutes. In 2022 in Atlantic City, I was pressured into a 3-hour session and given false information that led me to upgrade. In 2024, I explicitly declined a presentation but was coerced into attending, promised I only had to stay 30 minutes, and then denied my promised gift when I left. The follow-up rep was rude and dismissive. Maintenance fees have skyrocketed far beyond what was ever suggested, and salespeople failed to disclose that heirs inherit these fees perpetually. The rescission period in New Jersey is 7 days; I was wrongly told it was only 3. I have formally requested cancellation of all contracts. I urge anyone considering a Wyndham timeshare to proceed with extreme caution.

I don't even know where to begin. The sales presentation we sat through felt less like a vacation pitch and more like a psychological endurance test. Every time we expressed doubt or hesitation, our concerns were either waved away or reframed as if we were the ones being unreasonable. We were shuffled from conversation to conversation, clearly being worn down on purpose. By the end, we weren't excited. We were exhausted and cornered. We signed. And we regret it. What makes this so much worse — and frankly, what I think people deserve to know — is that we were never told we had a legal right under Florida law to cancel the contract within a 10-day rescission period. Never. Not once. That right exists specifically to protect consumers from exactly the kind of pressure-cooker environment we were put in. Had anyone told us, we would have used it. We would have gone home, slept on it, and said no with clear heads. Instead, that information was kept from us. Whether that was deliberate or negligent, the result is the same: we left with a contract we didn't fully understand, made under conditions that were anything but free or voluntary. This isn't buyer's remorse. This is the result of a process designed to overwhelm rather than inform. Consumers deserve better than this.

My husband (73) and I (77) were subjected to deceptive, high-pressure sales tactics by WorldMark representative Dragan Ristic during what was presented as a routine "owner update" at the WorldMark Resort in Indio, CA on January 15, 2026. We had clearly stated we were no longer interested in traveling and were looking to exit our existing membership. Instead of helping us, Dragon isolated us in a private room and presented an "exclusive" upgrade offer. He claimed to be a Vice President of WorldMark (this claim is unverified, there was no business card or badge provided), told us our account had $138,430 in equity, and promised WorldMark would buy back the upgraded membership for approximately $138,000 within 2–3 years. When we asked for this buyback guarantee in writing on January 17, 2026, he went completely silent and has not responded since. We declined the offer more than four times over a 3–4 hour session. We were pressured into signing a contract with a $47,700 loan. Dragan also coached us to tell the paperwork processor we were buying points to "travel more" and specifically instructed us not to mention his buyback promise, clear evidence of deceptive intent. We were never informed of our right to rescind under California law. We were not given Truth in Lending disclosures, told about rising maintenance fees, special assessments, or that heirs could inherit financial obligations. We are requesting full cancellation of our contract, discharge of the $47,700 loan, and written confirmation releasing us and our heirs from all future obligations. WorldMark has not responded to our formal written demand dated March 17, 2026.
