Wyndham Destinations and their salesman Rein, engaged in the following deceptive practices while attending a presentation. False Cancellation Claims: He repeatedly assured us "you can cancel anytime" and claimed that "Wyndham would even buy it back from us." He even showed us a purported cancellation website on his laptop, though he quickly moved on without allowing us to examine it properly. These statements were categorically false, as evidenced by your Rescission Department's refusal to honor cancellation requests beyond the state-mandated period. High-Pressure Tactics: When we attempted to leave, he physically positioned himself in front of me and followed us to the elevator, claiming his job depended on our signature. This constitutes coercive behavior toward elderly consumers. Failure to Disclose Financial Information: No mention that maintenance fees could increase over time. He failed to disclose that the same accommodation could be rented for significantly less through third-party booking sites. Overstated Benefits: He highlighted cost savings, discounts, perks, and activities that are not actually accessible or obtainable with timeshare ownership, including misleading claims about RCI vacation packages at $309 per week. Persistent Pressure Despite Rejections: We continually rejected offers, yet your staff continued adding products and dropping prices, demonstrating bad-faith negotiation tactics. What an unscrupulous individual, the company should be ashamed to have him represent their brand!

We could not be disenchanted any more with Worldmark by Wyndham. Over the years, each annual update turned into an aggressive sales session, often exceeding several hours. We were repeatedly subjected to manipulation, misinformation, and excessive upselling, even after making it clear we did not wish to purchase more. In December 2021, under the guise of more flexible points, we exchanged our deed for a new contract. The cycle continued each year: misleading promises, long-winded pitches, and debt mounting. The most recent contract update in December 2024 went too far and overextended what we can afford. We attended what was supposed to be a routine meeting where we explicitly stated that we wanted to maintain or lower our monthly costs and consolidate existing contracts. Instead, we were sold over $8,500 in additional points (total over 800,000 points), raising our monthly costs from $763.07 to $1,752.97. This is a staggering 230% increase, which has become entirely unsustainable. We were again pushed into a video conference signing process before fully understanding the financial consequences; the refinancing option we were once offered was suddenly off the table. As of June 2025, we have paid over $15,500 toward a 10-year contract totaling $70,992, yet we have not utilized the benefits and do not intend to use them. The last contract update pushed us into unmanageable debt, but all the sales presentations have pressured us into contracts and financial commitments we did not fully understand. PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS!

Wyndham Vacation Resorts’ employees are frankly heartless and cruel individuals. I am a 62-year-old cancer patient and single mother who is concerned about financial instability, early retirement, and rising maintenance fees. I was clear that I couldn’t afford to expand my ownership. Yet, instead of offering an exit option or directing me to Wyndham Cares, I was falsely told my only solution was to upgrade to the gold level by purchasing 800,000 points and rent them out through Extra Holidays. That turned out to be completely false. They misrepresented how easy and profitable it would be to rent out points. She claimed I could book high-demand during peak times and gross $800+ per night—enough to cover all my costs. She said I’d receive at least 60% of the income and gain perks like discounted point usage and unlimited housekeeping. None of this was true. After returning home, I found Extra Holidays only accepts a limited range of unit sizes at certain resorts, and Margaritaville St. Thomas wasn’t one of them. I wasn’t told that partial bookings wouldn’t be compensated or that guest cancellations would cause point loss and no income. Because of this fraudulent upgrade, my financial burden has skyrocketed. I’m trapped in a 10-year loan with a 14.79% interest rate and a balance over $56,000. Maintenance fees jumped from $3,463 in 2023 to nearly $13,000 in 2024, and over $6,200 in 2025—all charged without clear explanations. This is horrific!

Seven years ago, we attended a presentation for Six Flags tickets. Instead, we became victims of a sales pitch with champagne and emotional manipulation about "creating a better life" for our family. They promised rental income, appreciation in value, and easy resale opportunities which turned out to be complete lies. The reality of it all is that we have never used the timeshare once despite multiple booking attempts. Every effort was met with unavailability, endless transfers between departments, or being hung up on. The promised rental income never materialized, resale opportunities proved fictional, and hidden escalating maintenance fees continue to drain our finances. We were faced with unemployment and asked for support to which Wyndham offered nothing but cold refusals. "Owner updates" are just more high-pressure sales tactics for expensive upgrades. When my husband became unemployed, Wyndham offered no payment plans - only more debt. They were able to leave out the information about our legal right to rescind and the true difficulty of exiting but managed to get us to sign a contract where they were supposed to mention the rescission period. Their scheme has destroyed our financial progress and credit. As a family of color already facing systemic barriers to wealth building, we trusted what seemed like a legitimate investment opportunity. Instead, Wyndham got us intoxicated and exploited our aspirations to trap us in an inaccessible service that continues to drain us financially. We're still paying for something that has brought nothing but stress and financial ruin. Wyndham's business model is built on deception and targeting vulnerable families. Stay away - they will rob you of your money.

I am writing to warn you about the predatory tactics I experienced at Wyndham Panama City Beach in July 2024. What began as a promised one-hour information session about using our existing timeshare became a five-hour nightmare that has left my family financially trapped. We were lied to repeatedly. The sales representative promised we would receive a million points annually that could easily cover maintenance fees and even pay for the contract itself. He assured us we could sell points directly through Wyndham for cash and that we had 30 days to cancel if unsatisfied. He even guaranteed that closing costs charged to our credit card would be removed as part of the new agreement. Every single promise was a lie. After returning home, we discovered there was no special availability for upgraded members—resorts remain fully booked unless reserved a year in advance. Wyndham does not sell points on your behalf; you're completely on your own to find buyers. The cancellation period was only 10 days, not 30 as promised. Our sales representative stopped answering calls when we questioned the promised credit card refunds. The emotional manipulation was relentless. The representative repeatedly left the room to create artificial urgency with "new numbers and diagrams." We were never properly informed about maintenance fee increases or that our children would inherit this financial burden if anything happened to us. This experience has been devastating for our family. We feel completely deceived and financially trapped by what can only be described as a sophisticated scam operation disguised as a legitimate business. Please learn from our mistakes and avoid Wyndham timeshares entirely.

Our experience at Wyndham since January 2019 has been consistently disappointing. The “60 minute presentations” regularly extend to 90+ minutes of persistent sales pressure and the tactics feel calculated. When we decline offers, new sales reps approach with different pitches until it becomes a mentally exhausting. After reviewing the documents from our January 16,2019 purchase we found no disclosure of the actual interest rate on our $2,710 financing. Nowhere in the contract did it explain how difficult cancellation would be or that we would need to prove extreme financial hardship with extensive documentation. No sales reps mentioned that these “valuable points” would be nearly impossible to use without booking 13 months in advance or that they would have virtually no resale value if we needed to exit the program. In March 2024, despite repeatedly expressing that we weren’t interested, we felt pressured into purchasing more credits just to end the relentless sales pitch. At another presentation in October we finally had to just leave when the sales pitch wouldn’t conclude despite our clear disinterest. We noticed the demeanour of staff immediately changed when we declined to purchase. When inquiring about cancellation options, we were told it requires proving “financial hardship” with documentation and standards that seem unreasonably strict. We are experiencing genuine financial difficulties, still we don’t qualify under their arbitrary criteria. The points system has proven difficult to use effectively, and the membership feels like it’s designed to be nearly impossible to exit. We’ve paid approximately $12,000 for something we’ve struggled to use. I sent a letter to Wyndham addressing some concerns and someone called to sssist us. The problem is that she just kept saying there were no problems and everything has a solution. It got to the point where I just didn’t bother trying to explain further. I urge you to research thoroughly prior to purchasing a timeshare with Wyndham.

A Warning About Wyndham Vacation Ownership To Anyone Considering Wyndham Timeshares: I feel compelled to share my deeply troubling experience with Wyndham Vacation Ownership to prevent others from falling victim to the same predatory practices I endured at Cypress Palms Resort in Kissimmee, FL. During my visit in March 2025, representative Julio subjected me to relentless high-pressure tactics. He promised incredible benefits - cruise bookings, Disney tickets at reduced prices, the ability to use points for maintenance fees - none of which materialized. When I said I couldn't afford the $6,500 down payment and tried to leave, his "manager" magically reduced it to $2,547, pressuring me to drain my savings accounts. The signing process was deliberately rushed. I was shuffled between rooms, overwhelmed with documents, and given no time to properly review anything. Most disturbingly, they never disclosed my 10-day right to cancel, claiming new benefits wouldn't appear on the website for "at least a month" - conveniently past the rescission period. When I returned within three days to cancel, feeling manipulated and unable to sleep, the staff mocked me and pressured me to keep the contract rather than honor my legal rights. Despite never receiving a signed warranty deed, Wyndham charged my account $772.46 plus $224.16 in maintenance fees. Please learn from my mistake. Wyndham's practices are deceptive, their promises are empty, and they deliberately withhold crucial information about your rights. Protect yourself and your finances - avoid this company entirely.

I am writing to warn you about the predatory practices we experienced with Club Wyndham that have caused us significant financial and emotional distress. What began as a promised 1-hour presentation became a 3+ hour ordeal of relentless pressure tactics and emotional manipulation. We were denied private time to discuss decisions, with representatives immediately returning with "special deals" each time we requested space to think. We were explicitly told that maintenance fees would be waived if we didn't use the property - a complete lie. No one disclosed that contract obligations would pass to our children, saddling them with debt. The promised RCI travel discounts were negligible and restricted by blackout dates - a clear bait-and-switch. Most disturbing was the emotional manipulation. Sales rep John Miller told me this timeshare was "the only way to provide Sara with a proper honeymoon," exploiting our personal moment for profit. After I declined a credit card application, I was told it was "no problem," yet weeks later received an unauthorized Barclays card with a balance due. The legal consultant rushed through contract terms on a screen, making it impossible to follow. When I asked about Annual Percentage Rates, clarification was refused. My resulting panic attack was met with further intrusion rather than compassion. Our cancellation attempts have been met with lies and dismissiveness. In September 2024, we were told we must pay the contract in full before canceling. In March, they claimed "no record" of our requests. In May, a representative hung up after just 6 seconds of silence. Please protect yourself from this company's fraudulent practices. The financial and emotional cost is not worth it.
