My experience with Wyndham timeshare has been nothing short of devastating. What began as an apparent investment opportunity two years ago quickly devolved into a financial nightmare that has severely impacted my life and credit standing. The sales process was riddled with misrepresentation and questionable practices, including having me sign contracts while under the influence of alcohol – a fact the sales team seemed to deliberately exploit. The financial structure was particularly deceptive. I was offered a credit card for the down payment without proper disclosure of its 24% interest rate. The company subsequently maxed out my credit limit without notification, resulting in $12,000 of debt. Despite making regular payments, the predatory interest rates ensure the balance barely decreases. The promised benefits never materialized. Claims about booking flexibility, resale options, and rental possibilities proved false. Even basic amenities like airport transfers in Cancun, which were pre-paid, weren't honored. The system seems designed to constantly upsell, requiring additional point purchases just to maintain status or access basic services. As someone with an existing RCI timeshare at Atlantic City's Boardwalk for over five years, I can confidently say this experience is uniquely problematic. The sales team's claim that Wyndham owned all smaller timeshare companies was completely false – my other timeshare has no connection to them whatsoever. Having spent over $7,500 for just four nights of actual usage, while dealing with health issues including heart disease and recovery from a motorcycle accident, this timeshare has become an unbearable burden. I strongly caution others to avoid this deceptive scheme that preys on trusting consumers.

We feel completely deceived and trapped in an agreement with Wyndham Vacations that we don't fully understand and cannot afford. The stress and financial strain this has put on our family is immense. We trusted their representatives to provide us with accurate information, and they failed to do so.  A major factor in our decision to purchase was the heavily promoted Disney benefits. The salespeople emphasized our ability to use points for trips to Disneyland, creating an enticing prospect for our family. This was a major influence on our decision, as the idea of affordable Disney vacations was extremely appealing. However, the reality of using these benefits has proven to be far different from what was promised. Considering what we’ve been put through, we have insisted on the termination of our contract with Club Wyndham. We were not given the opportunity to make an informed decision, and it's clear that this agreement was made under misleading conditions. The sales tactics used were aggressive and manipulative. Our IDs were taken at check-in, effectively preventing us from freely leaving the presentation. Without our full understanding, they opened a Wyndham Rewards Credit Card and proceeded to put a 50% down payment of $8,000 on that card with a high interest rate. We were pressured by the claim that the offer was only good for that day, creating a false sense of urgency. Most concerning, we were not informed of our right to cancel within a few days of signing, denying us the opportunity to reconsider once we were out of the high-pressure sales environment.

Wyndham owner's I really do hope that their some legislature to protect consumer about this unfair burden that Wyndham are passing to their consumer. Seeing all the horror stories and my terrible experience with them. I only missed one payment of $53.68 back in 2022 (un intentional error) and now they want me to pay $620+ more that 900%. You would think that if you miss one payment it will be added to the following month and charge a little interest. But NO this is the scam that this company created so consumer have no choice but pay the pull over charges amount. How can these people sleep at night knowing that their intention is to make their customer suffer until the end of their life from the burden that this company created?

Due to the misinformation, dishonesty, and coercion we are seeking to terminate our contract with Wyndham Vacations immediately. Since our initial purchase in 2019, followed by the upgrade at Oceanside Pier Resort in 2022, we've only managed one Wyndham trip. During the pandemic, our points shifted to RCI, and we took a single trip through them, for which we had to shell out $399.99 despite having already invested thousands. To date, we've forked over more than $40,000, with monthly payments still ongoing. Despite our efforts to book well in advance or at the last minute, we've encountered numerous hurdles. They shower you with points, urging you to book ahead, but fail to disclose that bookings for the following year consume next year's points, not the expiring ones. We discovered this only in December, after hastily booking a place to utilize expiring points, only to watch them vanish, leaving us no opportunity to bank them. On top of it all, we also shelled out $149.99 for point protection, feeling nickel-and-dimed at every turn. Prior to point expiration, you're required to bank them with RCI, only to pay RCI again to use the points you've already invested thousands in. None of these intricacies were mentioned in the sales presentations! We hope that after reading about our case you agree just how royally we have been duped and misled by Wyndham.

I am writing this review because the Wyndham Sales team misled, misrepresented, and lied to us to trick us into signing a contract with them. Had they been honest about everything we never would have agreed to anything. This all started when we agreed to attend a 90-minute presentation, but that turned into a six-hour high-pressure sales experience! We were given several misrepresentations about the program's benefits. We were told the VIP Gold status would provide 35% discounts at ALL resorts; they left out that these discounts only apply to bookings made within 60 days of check-in. They advised us to try to book 13 months ahead of time to get the best availability but failed again to explain that the 35% discount would not be applied to those reservations. We were falsely informed that maintenance fees could be paid using Rewards Card points. They claimed RCI properties required fewer points than Wyndham properties, which we've since discovered is only true during "Quiet Season." Additional RCI fees, including cleaning fees and assessment fees, were never disclosed. We were also promised "great deals on cruises," but we've found Club Wyndham's prices are more expensive than NCL promotional prices. To compound our frustration, we received an email the very day we signed up offering a 3-day, 2-night vacation that required attending another 120-minute sales presentation. We feel that the sales presentations are set up in such a manner that the salespeople don’t sell consumers precisely what is needed to enjoy vacations. Rather it seems that they are intended to incrementally induce consumers into more debt just to reach the status level that would benefit our family. We contacted Wyndham Cares to discuss “exit solutions”. We explained that we wanted to cancel our membership. The rep immediately said she had to transfer the call and was completely rude. We ended up being transferred to a department that never answered. They need to let us out of this contract and refund our investment !

My daughter has been staying at the Lima Ohio Wyndham/Windgate as she is currently in a clinical rotation at the ER at St. Rita's. This week she encountered two deplorably filthy rooms. One had pubic hairs on the toilet the second room had moldy food in the fridge. She switched rooms twice and was threatened by the guy in the room next to her because she called the front desk to make a noise complaint. Lastly she came back to the hotel, after a 15 hour shift,and a man had a gun drawn at a front desk employee who responded that she had a permit for a concealed weapon also. We will never be staying at a Wyndham again.My daughter was afraid and got zero sleep the entire week all while treating patients in the Emergency Room for 12-15 hours a day.

I am posting this review to express my extreme discontent and incredible annoyance with Wyndham Resorts. I have been subjected to irritable and aggressive employees at Wyndham. They have driven me to near madness, navigating endless hoops trying to get answers for multiple questions, including how to cancel my contract and how to rectify unfair treatment from their employees through lies, cheats, and deceit. I have, up until now, not been able to get any satisfactory action or response from Wyndham and have been instead told that it is my fault that I was lied to and that they don't care, and there is no other recourse I can go through to resolve my problems. I either pay to Wyndham my monthly payments and yearly maintenance fees, or they will ruin me and my finances. This has become a case of corporate blackmail. My transactions were intentionally dishonest, to a scam level and I am demanding that Wyndham CANCEL MY CONTRACT IMMEDIATELY! The sales tactics employed during these interactions were extremely aggressive and manipulative. They were entirely disgraceful and unbecoming of a huge multinational corporation like Wyndham. At one point, my driver's license was withheld, effectively preventing me from leaving the premises, and my children were used as emotional leverage to influence my decision-making. The pressure exerted by the sales personnel was relentless, with a clear reluctance to accept my refusals. The lack of transparency, coupled with the undue pressure to commit to financial obligations without full disclosure, is troubling. It is imperative that these issues be addressed to ensure that potential and existing customers are treated with the fairness, honesty, and respect they deserve.

We are on the outs with Wyndham Resorts. While attending a Dodgers game, we noticed a booth in the right field pavilion offering a chance to enter a raffle for a 3–5-day getaway if we took a survey. The booth wasn’t clearly marked as Wyndham Resorts, and it seemed like they were drawing people in with the promise of the raffle. Well, you probably will not be shocked to learn that this was a scam to generate leads. We ended up being “selected” and were told to visit Wyndham Resorts in Anaheim to attend a presentation to claim our “prize.” Unfortunately, the prize was nothing more than a ploy designed to get us to attend a high-pressure timeshare sales pitch. The goal of course to purchase a timeshare with Wyndham. They promised us a 3-5 day stay even if we chose not to buy. However, we felt immense pressure to make a purchase, as they kept negotiating by offering to lower the monthly maintenance fees if we agreed. We made it clear that our finances weren’t sufficient for a timeshare and told the sales rep “No” at least three times. At that point, a manager was brought in, making it seem like they were doing us a favor by reducing the price further. At one point, after saying "no" again, they sweetened the deal by offering an additional 3-5 day stay on top of the original one. The entire presentation felt like a classic foot-in-the-door tactic, with them pushing the idea that this “deal” was only available that day. This in truth is a lie, because they clearly sell the same product day in and day out. We feel that Wyndham Resorts misled us about their intentions. Overall, we are extremely upset with the tactics used by the Wyndham sales team, and we are demanding the cancellation of our contract. Despite calling customer service and writing to the executives, they on communication we received are from their bill collectors and they are ruthless, but we will not be swayed!
