I was tricked into a Wyndham/Travel + Leisure timeshare presentation through a "free gift" offer while picking up dinner cruise tickets in Myrtle Beach. What followed was a textbook scam. We were kept for over three hours — well past the time we needed to leave for our cruise — while multiple salespeople rotated in, each with a different verbal offer than the last: no down payment, extra bonus points, condo rentals to cover our payments, a monthly rate "below $200." None of it matched the actual contract. One rep even told us not to mention his offer to the closing manager, and when we tried to walk away because we were out of time, they rushed our signature through instead of letting us leave. When the emailed contract didn't match what we were promised, I called to ask about it — the salesman claimed he didn't even know who the other rep was. Months later, a rep called offering to "upgrade" my points. When I raised concerns about an existing $743.30 charge already coming out of my account, he became loud and agitated, told me to "take it out of the equation," and pressured me until I agreed to yet another contract, I didn't understand. I'm 71, my mother is 90, and I now have two contracts, mounting maintenance fees, and points I can't even use — no availability whenever I try to book. I don't understand most of the 45-page agreement I was rushed into signing. Do not attend one of these "free gift" presentations.

Honestly, buying a Wyndham timeshare has been one of the worst financial decisions of our lives, and it's largely because of how we were misled during the sales pitch. First, we were told we could refinance later at a lower rate to make things affordable. That never happened. We're still stuck paying way more than we were told to expect. Second, we were promised "no down payment." Surprise, it turns out the down payment WAS financed, just through a third-party lender we didn't even know existed until later. That's a debt obligation we never agreed to knowingly. Third, my wife Alyson was added to the contract and told it was basically like being an authorized user, just for ownership/authorization purposes, no real financial responsibility. She never even gave her SSN for financing. Turns out that was completely false, and she's personally liable. If she'd known that going in, she would've asked a lot more questions before signing anything. Fourth, and honestly the biggest reason we bought in the first place. We were told Club Wyndham's partnership with Viator meant we could use points for flights, cruises, tours, excursions, basically making it a full travel membership instead of just a timeshare. Well, Wyndham lost that Viator partnership and never gave us anything close to a replacement. All that flexibility we were sold on? Gone. And even the regular point allocations are worth way less in practice than what we were told. The false refinancing promises, the hidden financing, the liability nobody disclosed, and the travel perks that don't exist anymore. We've paid around $19,000 in payments, fees, and maintenance with basically nothing to show for it. If we'd been told the truth about any of this upfront, we never would have signed. Do your research and think twice before buying into Wyndham.

I bought into Club Wyndham after a cold call promised a free trip to Orlando and a Visa gift card for a "one-hour" presentation. That hour turned into something much longer, and by the end I felt too worn down to walk away without buying something. The sales team told me my points would grow in value, that reselling them would be easy, and that family and friends could use my membership. None of it panned out. When I tried booking my first trip, the site showed nothing available — blackout dates or not enough points, every time. They also pitched RCI as a "sister" site where I could sell unused points or grab cheap last-minute trips. I still can't figure out how to actually use it, years later. About six months in, Wyndham told me my contract would drop a tier unless I bought more points. I've never used this timeshare once — not a single trip — despite paying on time every month, including during a government shutdown that hit me personally. Yet the sales calls never stopped, always dangling another "free" vacation tied to another "one-hour" presentation. I don't need more points. I don't need a timeshare I've never used and that keeps losing value on its own. I've asked Wyndham to cancel my contract in full, with no further payments owed, and I'm still waiting. If you're considering a Club Wyndham presentation for the free gift, think twice. The pressure to buy is real, and the promises made in that room don't match what you get afterward.

I have been happy with my timeshare for quite some time. However, as the financial temperature has changed in America, it has become difficult to make ends meet. My timeshare is paid off, and I have requested to return two of my contracts, and they have continuously refused to send "their required paperwork". It's as if they want to see people financially ruined.

Complete scam run if you see there name.

The Wyndham Grand in Downtown Pittsburgh PA is horrible the absolute worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in my life!!!!!!! We came for a concert at Heinz Field and got to the hotel over 3hrs before the concert was to start and there is NO parking lot at the hotel you have to use valet and the line to get into the hotel for valet parking was backed up for HOURS!!!!! No warning of this or I obviously wouldn’t have stayed there and risked missing the concert of which the tickets were not cheap!! The hotel staff could have cared less when I mentioned my concerns and couldn’t even tell me at what garage where in town they would be parking my car…it costs over $55 to park I have a Toyota 4-runner so it’s an SUV they said that it would take up 2 parking spots is why it wasn’t $35 like for a sedan parking spot. Also the line to check in for the hotel was like being at the airport it took forever to check in!!! Concerts are happening all the time at Heinz field and Wyndham acted like it was there first rodeo clueless!!! The rooms are outdated dingy air conditioner didn’t work well. Horrible Horrible experience never stay there!!!

We attended a WorldMark Indio (Wyndham) presentation in November 2025 after winning a promo at the Palm Springs Pride Festival — a "free" weekend stay, gas card, and $100 dining credit for sitting through a 90-minute presentation. It turned into hours of pressure and misinformation. We told our sales rep, Mo Henry, upfront and repeatedly that affordability was a major concern — one of us was unemployed and we were in the middle of moving. He kept pushing anyway. He claimed the points program would "pay for itself" after five uses, that we could profit from renting out our unit during events like Coachella, and walked us through a 3-bedroom unit without disclosing it required far more points than the base package. We didn't see real price until after the tour: a bill for over $20,000. When we hesitated, we were told certain benefits would disappear if we didn't sign that day. We were handed to a financial advisor who ran our credit without our consent, then went back and forth on the offer like it was a negotiation game. We got maybe two minutes alone before being pressed for an answer. The signing itself was rushed. We said out loud we couldn't keep up, and it didn't slow down. We were never told about our legal right to cancel or that maintenance fees increase yearly. We were also told our info wouldn't be shared — within a week we were getting multiple calls a week from companies wanting to buy our points. We were honest about our situation from the start, and it was used against us. Save yourself the stress and think very carefully before attending one of these presentations.

I purchased this timeshare several yrs ago but regretted the purchase almost immediately. They nickel and dime you for everything eg.. wifi to rolling unused pints over to the following yr, so I transferred my points to RCI and used the points that way. Over 5 months ago I decided to exit out of the program. They give you absolutely nothing for it, just take it back. They told me at that time it could take up to 20 weeks. Why does it take 5 months to get ride of a timeshare when they were able to sign me up in 1 day? How does it take 5 months when it takes 30 days to close on a house? I assumed it meant,”it COULD take up to 20 weeks but maybe less,”and yet here I am almost 6 months later! This is absolutely ridiculous and I plan to contact the Wa Attorney General about this. This is an absolute abuse of their owners/customers!
