Wyndham Destin Timeshare: Predatory Sales Tactics Targeting Seniors! I wish I could give zero stars. My husband and I are retired seniors (ages 68 and 71) raising our grandchildren on fixed incomes, and we made the mistake of attending a "vacation presentation" at Wyndham Destin in March 2025. What followed was one of the worst experiences of our lives. THE SALES PITCH FROM HELL: We were told this would be a quick 45-minute presentation. It lasted over TWO HOURS. We repeatedly explained we couldn't afford to purchase anything due to our retirement income and responsibilities caring for our grandchildren. Our sales rep Karla didn't care, she just kept lowering prices, bringing in managers, and piling on incentives until we were so exhausted and confused that we gave in. WHAT THEY PROMISED: We were promised extra vacations and additional points, all-inclusive resorts with no additional costs, and the ability to travel anywhere at any time. Karla assured us she would be our dedicated contact person to help with anything we needed. We were told we'd receive two informational books explaining everything. Financial rep Erika Bouck SPECIFICALLY told us canceling "wouldn't be a problem" and we could "simply call to cancel immediately at any time." WHAT WE ACTUALLY GOT: NOTHING but lies and harassment. When we tried booking a single night in Tennessee, Karla made excuses then completely ghosted us. When we called about cancellation like Erika promised, we were told it's impossible and to hire another company to sell it. The point system was never properly explained, we still don't understand what we bought. Then the sales calls started. Multiple reps contacted us to try to sell MORE points, wit in h one getting downright rude when we refused. Another spent an hour telling us our purchase was "insufficient for any meaningful use" and pressuring us to buy more. DO NOT ATTEND THESE PRESENTATIONS. Protect yourself and your loved ones from this predatory company.
