Wyndham Resorts, as far as we are concerned, engages in totally fraudulent behavior.  First and foremost, regardless of whether you participate in a get-away or sign up for any incentives in exchange for your time, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR WATCH. 120 minutes is your only obligation so, if you have given them your time and attention as agreed to, they are required to let you go, along with any free gifts that you were offered. We were told that we if we purchased, we would have access to overseas resorts. What they didn’t say is that most of those resorts are only accessible through 3rd party affiliations that require you to pay additional fees and adhere to their rules. And of course, availability is always a factor. It feels like no matter what you have agreed to purchase, it will NEVER translate to what they promise you in their high-pressure sales presentation. The reservation system is very difficult to navigate. I would mention that we found housing at comparable properties that were readily available, and at much more affordable rates. To date, we have benefited from nothing and have the frustration, bills, and anger to prove it.  We are senior citizens, on a fixed income, and my husband is a Vietnam Veteran on disability. One would think that Wyndham would take care in how they are presenting their product and program to people like us. We were totally taken advantage of and we’ve asked that they release us from the contract.

Bait and switch alert! Wyndham Vacation Ownership has lied to us not once but on 3 separate occasions during their sales presentations. Now, upon fully understanding they are scammers, we are going to act. Our story is a long one and we are in the middle of fighting to end our contract with them. We are a family that has been stricken with what seems like an insurmountable loss; coupled with being a Military family diagnosed with PSTD, we are determined to push through this. We hope that this will STOP someone else from falling victim to this highly sketchy company, the odds of you falling victim to one or all these items seems highly likely. ONE - We did NOT receive the incentives as promised by the Marketing employees who set up the presentation. TWO - Prior to signing the contract, the salesperson told us not to ask questions and told us what to say when certain questions were asked. THREE - “Benefits” outlined included: Ability to refinance, 100% availability to all resorts, Cruises, and car rentals at a fraction of the price, Exclusive access (to anything is a LIE). We were told we purchased into a private resort only for owners but found that non-owners have more availability than timeshare owners. It was not explained that this was a contract in perpetuity that would be left to our children along with all the payments. Never once were we told about a rescission period. We were never shown our loan information, including the interest rate and loan amount. We were signed up for a credit account without our authorization. We are disgusted with Wyndham Vacations – steer clear of them at all costs.

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! AVOID ANYTHING TO DO WITH WYNDHAM! They lie to you from the first words out of their mouth to get you to sign up and then they are done with you. Once you sign there's no going back and kiss your credit goodbye. So many promises that are lies and they basically brainwash you until you sign. Get up and walk out before you sign anything. If we could only go back in time. Literally the biggest mistake anyone can make in life. I can't say enough bad things about them and if I do I would go to jail for what I want to say. I hope anyone reading this will please avoid them and hopefully I helped you not to sign with them!

Imagine going to the grocery store and coming home with a receipt of more than $20,000. This is what happened when we were stopped at our local grocery store. A booth intrigued us with the glimmer of highly discounted tickets. The salesperson sweetened the offer by giving us free tickets. The catch? Our presence at a timeshare meeting, only 45 minutes long so our kids wouldn’t get too anxious. Little did we know, we would sit there for 4.5 HOURS with our children growing more brutish by the second. I am warning every one of you to not fall for the schemes of Wyndham. My husband and I were already weary of timeshares, and I wish we followed our instinct on not to trust these companies. Now, we’re stuck in this contract and are responsible for two credit cards we were misled into signing up for. They feed you lies to get you into the contract, the most recurring being “the cancellation process is free and easy.” From the very start, this has been ANYTHING BUT easy, let alone free. Save yourself a lot of money and a world of hurt, do NOT trust Wyndham.

As the “Biggest Timeshare Company” you would think that Wyndham destinations would be a little more worried about their reputation. We have been to two presentations since becoming owners in April 2022. In both instances we were lied to about what we own, what we would receive upon upgrading, and how we can use our points. At the second meeting, the guy actually apologized on behalf of the previous salesman for lying and then proceeded to tell even worse lies himself. Based on the offer of a special deal by him and his manager, we upgraded our contract, but never received the promised benefits. After repeatedly promising to help us get that situation straightened out, he eventually just stopped responding to our texts and calls. This is when we realized that we had been victims of fraud. In addition to this, we were told our maintenance fees would be lower, that by changing our ownership we were increasing the investment potential of this “property” and that we could easily rent out our extra points to pay our fees and payments.  This type of sales is illegal in several states, and we are currently working to nullify our contract. If we had realized how deceitful the entire Wyndham Destinations company is, we would never have attended that first presentation, no matter what they were giving away. We have demanded that our contract be terminated immediately because it was obtained through fraud and dishonesty; to date we have had no response.

“Fraud” is all that comes to mind when I think about Wyndham. Everything about this company is shady and underhanded. Their salespeople opened credit cards in mine and my husband’s names without permission. They lied to us about every aspect of our ownership and left out information that they knew would have been a deal breaker. The “dream vacations” we were offered are pure bull! Good luck getting a reservation. It probably has to do with the fact that the resorts are not only for owners, although the salespeople said differently. We were promised the ability to rent our points to offset maintenance costs, but that has yet to come to fruition. Fees and the total amount of our loan were never disclosed to us, probably on purpose since the interest DOUBLED the price we agreed to. It's always something with Wyndham and we are tired of it!

Tourists BEWARE of all the “free” tickets, shows, food, etc. in Las Vegas…it is probably a timeshare ploy that we can guarantee will cost you dearly in the end. We were duped into what was supposed to be a “tour” of the WorldMark Resort on South Las Vegas Blvd while walking through NY NY. We were promised “free show tickets and a roller coaster ride” to attend what was in truth a 5 hour sales presentation where the salespeople were clearly agitated with our series of questions, especially when just throwing numbers around wasn’t getting us to budge. We should have seen through these shenanigans but unfortunately, this ended with us being locked into a very expensive timeshare contract where most of the relevant details were misrepresented or omitted in full. What we were told, that heavily impacted our decision to purchase was completely dishonest. Those LIES, were largely related to rental income, maintenance fees (both amount and frequency of payments), and interest rates. However, it doesn’t end there, in addition, the contracted monthly payment is NOT what we were charged, and we later discovered that we had been signed up for “benefits” and “programs” that were not disclosed. Finally, when we pushed back, the very person who had made most of the false representations, pointed to the Quality Assurance area of the contract as he WAS NOT LICENSED TO SPEAK ON THE SUBJECTS. What a mess! We want nothing more to do with Wyndham, we can not afford to trust them or that any portion of what we were “sold” is real. So, again, there is NOTHING FREE…and when your gut tells you to leave just do it…losing your time isn’t as nearly as expensive as the financial nightmare that lies ahead.

We stayed at Wyndham Garden Hotel, Wismar 1st to 4th december 2022. The room was very nice and clean, and the bed comfortable. The breakfast super. We did not have dinner. We only noticed the corridor areas to the rooms were a bit outdated and might need a make over. The hotel is centrally located not far from Wismar center, but in an "industrial" area which did not bother us. - ALL THE STAFF WERE BRILLIANT. We have seldom met so friendly, service minded and helpful staff. We had loading problems with our electric car but the reception staff assisted us much more than could be expected and finally they assisted us in getting electricity from the hotel. We are very gratefull and thank you so much. We will see your again. Annelise og Jan Maxen, Denmark
