I paid $4,900 and told them I wanted to cancel a few days later after I returned home from my Labor Day weekend vacation. I verbally canceled over the phone when someone from Wyndham called me. They said this is like a restate transaction and it will take up to 7 days for your money will be returned. Yesterday Sept. 9th 2024 I called Wyndham 800-251-8736 to ask why I had not received my money back. They said did you send us a written cancelation notice? I said no i did it verbally over the phone. They said it must be in writing. So she gave me the email address to send the cancelation notice and so i sent it and according to the contract that I have never received I was within the 10 day period. Today I am going to call the crooks that lied to me and let them know that I hate club Wyndham and wish i could get rid of it. Dennis Kriegh 678-897-8493

Our association with WorldMark, originally Trendwest in California, began more than twenty years ago. Now they are known as WorldMark by Wyndham. Initially, we were informed about two membership plans: one encompassed all existing resorts at the time, while the other included future resorts as well. We were advised that the company was expanding, presenting a promising real estate opportunity for future generations. As the company expanded, our allocated credits proved inadequate for utilizing the timeshare as desired, necessitating additional credits. Fast forward, we are absolutely disgusted with the business and sales practices perpetrated by Wyndham representatives and are demanding to be released from this contract. We were misled with false information and omissions, including claims that only owners could book with Wyndham, the potential to earn rental income from our timeshare, the promise of a credit card to reduce our monthly payments, and the benefits of the Personal Choice program. They also misrepresented the timeshare as an investment with actual real estate value, failed to disclose a high 15.90% interest rate on financing with no option for refinancing at a lower rate, and charged a $24,000 finance fee to borrow $23,000. They did not provide the Public Offer Statement, neglected to properly disclose related fees, including perpetual maintenance fees and inheritance implications for our children. The financing terms amounted to fraud in persuading us to upgrade under deceptive practices. We are DONE!

Let’s say in very simple terms - they are a bunch of thieves who get away in conning people’s money and time, especially when you are on vacation. They are a bunch of crooks and shame the government don’t close this scam. Their staffs are intimidating and rude when you tell them that you need time to think about it. Their free certificate is a scam. The places are rubbish. Biggest scam and trap for both local and especially tourists. Message for SEAWORLD OF FLORIDA - shut their stand and don’t be affiliated with them, don’t let them TARNISH your worldwide reputation. Avoid at all cost!

I have written to formally request the termination of my timeshare contract with Wyndham Resorts and ask full reimbursement for all monies paid towards this agreement. My decision to request this resolution arises from a series of misleading information and unfulfilled promises made by representatives of Wyndham Resorts which I believe were intentional to secure my sign-up and subsequent payments. Upon my enrollment, I was assured of numerous benefits and flexibilities with my timeshare, including the ability to use points towards maintenance fees, ease and affordability of international travel, access to numerous U.S. locations without additional fees, the option to sell or rent my credits, straightforward cancellation policies, direct access to my representative for any queries, and transparency regarding my loan details. Unfortunately, my experience has been starkly contrary to these assurances made the day I signed up. During the sales presentation, I was misled about the use of points for maintenance fees, which was a significant factor in my decision to sign up. It turned out that the points could only be used for a one-time payment discount after my first payment, contrary to the ongoing benefits I was promised. The promise that traveling internationally would be much easier and cheaper was false. Despite my specific interest in traveling to Greece and Tokyo, I have found it more costly and complicated to book through the timeshare than finding deals on my own. The suitability of RCI resorts for groups was misrepresented, limiting the usability of the timeshare for my needs. On the other hand, I discovered that most U.S. locations require an additional fee for a "Club Wyndham" pass, which was not disclosed during the sales presentation. This company is illegitimate in my opinion!

On the 30th of August, 2024, we went for the presentation, and heard a very polished presentation, with amazing benefits, for no extra cost than what "you spend 'anyway'". We reviewed plans with the rep assigned to us and received assurances of even greater benefits and extra points if we signed up today. I asked to review the contract - I like to check clauses, like, was the 5 day cancel clause unconditional, or did certain conditions need to be met, etc?. Things the presentation wouldn't detail, kind of stuff. They would not give me the contract to review until I signed an acceptance of the offer. The supervisor came over. He said he would try to get a contract but continued advising us of further benefits if we signed today. No contract. We gave up, and, said "Not today", so our rep asked us to do an exit survey, so he got credit. No problem, he put in a lot of work. It was another attempt to get us to sign up. I asked for a yes/no response - can I see the contract now, before I agree to accept the offer. The 3rd guy started with the benefits and even more offers if we signed then. I said "this is not a yes/no response", and he told us to "get out", and that we "make him laugh" and there is "no way we can give out a contract before you agree". I'm sure with any lawyer, if someone came into their office and asked if they should sign a contract, their first response would be "I don't know. Let's read it and see". If the client said "They won't let me review it until I sign up", Surely the advice will ALWAYS be "Do not sign that contract!" Reading experiences online, I believe that is good advice when it comes to Wyndham Time Shares.

During our visit to Las Vegas, we were out exploring all the different casinos along the Strip but ended up being hoodwinked by Wyndham Vacations. When we stopped at the Flamingo, we were approached by representatives from Wyndham, who persuaded us to attend their timeshare seminar with promises of exclusive benefits and additional rewards. We were convinced and decided to attend the Wyndham presentation. When we went to the meeting, we were hounded with multiple requests. First, they wanted our IDs from us, for what reason, we are still unsure. Secondly, we immediately got placed in a room to watch a presentation and a slick sales guy gave all sorts of talking points about the benefits of becoming Wyndham members. We were incessantly, almost drilled into our heads that's how much they kept repeating it, that buying a timeshare with Wyndham is investing in real estate. We could rent out our timeshares, even sell it later. We went through 3 incessant hours of this, being told that we can travel anywhere in the world and that availability is super open for all their "owner-exclusive" resorts. Now we are stuck with the full ownership financed through Wyndham credit cards, with a total commitment of $20,074 at an outrageous interest rate. With no hopes of refinancing (as we were instructed), because it’s not possible through a bank or credit union, because it is NOT real estate. All that aside, initially, we were excited about the prospect of vacationing with our family in premium accommodations. However, our enthusiasm waned as we encountered booking difficulties and were subjected to relentless sales pressure to upgrade our membership during a mandatory seminar, which significantly extended beyond the promised time. This experience has been a harrowing ordeal, leaving us financially drained. We caution others to thoroughly research and consider the implications of timeshare ownership before committing to such illicit agreements.

Over the course of our ownership, we have had nothing but trouble with our Wyndham Vacation Ownership. It has been an incredibly frustrating experience overall, one full of many uncomfortable and unpleasant moments. We are also at a point of financial stress in our lives, something that has redirected us to reconsider and reflect on what we are spending our money on, which I will explain later in this letter. After mulling it over, we have come to realize that our time with Wyndham has been mostly full of lies and scams to take thousands of dollars from us. The rooms have not been renovated in quite some time and the pullout couch in the second room was falling apart. The maintenance person stated he could either fix it to sleep in or sit on, but not both. We complained to the office, who asked us to come and talk to them. This is when our troubles began to get even worse. They stuck us on a timeshare presentation to fix our “complaint.” Each purchase or upgrade was concluded in a meeting with the finance person that was rushed, leaving us with no time to thoroughly review documents or ask important questions. This lack of transparency and a rushed process has contributed to our dissatisfaction. We do not endorse Worldmark by Wyndham or Wyndham Vacations (or whatever name they are using these days).
