    Worst hotel brand. They charge outrageously to be a member and then do not offer any "discounted" rates. They will charge you the same per night as a nonmember but will also use points on top of the nightly rate. All the hotels I've stayed at have the quality of a roadside motel with a high price. The nice resorts/hotels are booked out so far in advance you will never get those unless you have a high membership. Do not fall for their lies. Stay away from this brand.

    STAY AWAY & RUN!!! We are dissatisfied with all the lies that were told to us when we purchased our Bronze VIP membership. It was all lies and propaganda. Nothing was true and you have shady salespeople that will say anything to get you to buy. We are very disappointed with the Wyndham brand. We thought very highly of the company until after our visit to the seminar. Which we were told that we are only VIP for 2 years then we have to pay out of pocket when we travel for rest of life, or til we get out of the contract. Jeremy & Zachary from Fairfield. That's BAD BUSINESS!!!

    My recent experience at Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach left me profoundly concerned about the ethical practices employed by Wyndham in their timeshare presentations. The encounter with presenters Faith and Derek revealed troubling aspects of predatory, discriminatory, and unethical business practices that seem to prey on individuals with lower socio-economic means while privileging those with higher socio-economic status. When they assumed that I had bad credit, they offered me Proposal A with significantly higher costs and interest rates. However, upon learning that I had good credit, was educated, and had financial means, they quickly offered me Proposal B with much more favorable terms. This stark shift in their approach underscores the discriminatory nature of their sales tactics.

    Predatory Pricing and Interest Rates: The presentation offered two primary timeshare proposals, revealing stark contrasts based on the potential buyer's creditworthiness:

    Proposal A (Individuals with Bad Credit):
    * Total Cost: $62,200
    * Interest Rate: 17.99%
    * Initial Downpayment: $18,765 (30% of the total cost)
    * Amount Financed: $43,435
    * Monthly Installments: $795 (over 120 months)

    * Monthly CLUB WYNDHAM Assessment: Additional costs not specified in the proposal

    Proposal B (Individuals with Good Credit):
    * Total Cost: $31,049
    * Interest Rate: 15.49%
    * Initial Downpayment: $6,209.90
    * Amount Financed: $24,839.10
    * Monthly Installments: $418.67 (over 120 months)

    * Monthly CLUB WYNDHAM Assessment: Additional costs not specified in the proposal

    Discriminatory Practices: The pricing strategy was heavily influenced by the creditworthiness of the potential buyer, which is highly unethical. It places an undue financial burden on individuals with lower credit scores by charging them significantly higher prices and interest rates. For example, those with better credit scores were offered a substantially lower price and interest rate, resulting in much lower monthly payments.

    Unethical Financial Implications:

    1. High-Interest Rates: Proposal A’s interest rate of 17.99% is exorbitant and can lead to overwhelming financial obligations over the term of the agreement. This practice is clearly designed to extract maximum financial gain from those least able to afford it.

    2. Monthly Installments: The high monthly payments, such as $795 for Proposal A, are unrealistic for many families and can lead to financial strain.

    3. Opaque Pricing Structures: The lack of transparency in the initial offering, which presented the higher cost option first, further exacerbates the unethical nature of the sales tactics. Only after significant questioning was a lower cost option revealed, suggesting an intentional attempt to mislead and pressure potential buyers into more expensive agreements.

    Impact on Lower Socio-Economic Groups: The practices employed by Wyndham, as demonstrated by Faith and Derek, disproportionately affect individuals with lower socio-economic status. The higher prices and interest rates, coupled with the financial pressure exerted during the presentation, indicate a systemic approach to exploit those with fewer financial resources. This not only increases the likelihood of financial hardship but also perpetuates a cycle of debt and economic disadvantage.

    Conclusion: My experience at Club Wyndham Ocean Boulevard was marred by the evident predatory, discriminatory, and unethical practices displayed during the timeshare presentation. Faith and Derek’s approach, which favored those with higher socio-economic means and preyed on those with lower socio-economic status, raises serious ethical concerns. Potential buyers should exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough research before engaging with Wyndham’s timeshare offers. These practices not only undermine trust but also highlight the need for greater regulatory oversight to protect consumers from such exploitative tactics.

    All of the comments you're reading here are right on. They do whatever they can to get you to sign up and it all seems very promising. Once you sign it's all excitement and celebration. Then good luck finding any available resorts to stay at any time within a year. And if by miracle you DO get a booking you can't check in without being asked to attend a meeting where they'll try to upsell you. You're a walking wallet to them. Not to mention you'll pay a monthly fee and then another fee if you want housecleaning. Finally, if you try to sell your timeshare back they'll offer you 15% of what you paid, and give you no path to resolution. Save your money and frustration!

    Please do not sign up for these timeshares! The resorts and experiences are nice but you can save and pay way less on your own. They lie saying the right things to make it sound so amazing! Once you sign, they don't care about whether you can afford the timeshare or who lied to get you into the timeshare. All they care about is having you pay off the timeshare then give it back to them. They won't help you in any beneficial way. They'll transfer you 10 times and you still won't get any help. I was told not to pay out of pocket but to use some of my points to pay for the maintenance fees. The yearly maintenance fees exceed the amount of money I'd receive if I exchanged all of my points to money. They are crooks!

    I was on a call today with Reservations. The guy said "Oh you can escalate a claim if you can provide proof of your complaint that you were lied to in the process". He transferred me and the next guy acted like he didn't know what I needed, why I was transferred to him or the claim of receiving false information. He just repeated the same things as everyone else. I have to pay off the timeshare or I can rent out the timeshare to hopefully cover maintenance fees. Horrible experience with customer service and two salesmen. If they took the unwanted time shares back for resell, they'll still make lots of money because you can't get any of your money back you've already paid and they'll have someone else paying for the timeshare. Greedy, greedy company! They do not care about you or your struggles.

    Wyndham. I wish someone told me this when I was doing my research so hopefully this helps someone in the future - do NOT get suckered into this deal. They use manipulation tactics and pressure to get you to sign a contract.

    1. Your monthly maintenance fees jump drastically.
    2. Take pictures of the offers they put in front of you because they use it to sucker you in then change it and it’s useless.
    3. Manipulated and forced us to not leave or eat for 8+ hours. After 8 hrs our 5 year old was hysterical and any parent would lose their sense and do whatever to get out.

    4. The free incentives are used over your head again to keep you trapped.

    They tell you that you can get out of it but it’s a lie and they do not handle clients in good faith. They become unresponsive and leave you high and dry. Do not trust anything. Research the class action lawsuits on Club Wyndham and their horrible tactics to make a buck. Do not believe anything.

    Wyndham is an evil company that employs evil people, specifically for their timeshare sales. I have seen firsthand how they prey upon the elderly, veterans, young couples, and the mentally infirm just to sign a contract. If you don't believe this review, read some of the thousands of others here and elsewhere. Look at the YouTube testimonials. Talk to real Wyndham timeshare victims like me.

    In short, Wyndham is a scourge. They do not honor their end of the contract. They will harass you ceaselessly via telephone, email, and even in person. Their properties are not maintained. Their customer service does not exist. They can only book 2+ YEARS out for many properties. And they employ terrible human beings in sales/customer support. Avoid this company like cancer. Especially avoid anything remotely related to its timeshare, though they have even resorted to denying they are a timeshare to lure victims in.

    There is a reason that with over 1300 reviews 96% are 1 star. Customer service is absolutely awful. Very long hold times (45-90 minutes) and then they have you call another number which puts you on hold again. Difficulty understanding the accents. After a call, customer service forwards you to a sales pitch for a Wyndham time share with high pressure tactics, which you can read the hell that you go through if you actually purchase one. Fortunately I did not but I also never got the promised bonus points for listening to the pitch. When I called customer service about that they told me that I would have to call the time share department. I didn't bother because hold times would be ridiculous and I had already spent over 4 hours on hold in the last few weeks trying to solve other issues. I used to think Wyndham was a well respected hospitality chain. Not anymore. I am done with Wyndham.

    It has been now 12 days since they received my letter of rescission, I keep emailing them to get a status of my request to cancel the contract, I have sent 7 emails about it and they have not responded to my emails, I feel like they are trying to deny my request and not honor the 10 day window allowed for cancellation.

    It is nearly impossible to actually use your ownership unless you have the flexibility to just go where there's an opening. The owner site will say there is no availability, but you can go to travel sites and see it's there. We couldn't use our points when I was very unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer and needed an intense chemo course lasting 5 months. We lost 400,000 points. They gave us back 200,000 but then wouldn't let us bank any because we'd missed the deadline...When the points were given *after* the deadline had already passed. Zero sympathy for our situation (I'm quite young to have cancer and have small children). As in, they didn't even say, "Sorry you are going through that."

    It is extremely confusing, and intentionally so, to actually make use of your ownership. For the thousands we've spent on maintenance fees—let alone the ownership—we could do a family trip every month. Instead, our points sit unused because there's never anywhere we can actually use them. You can't book too far out. You can't book too close. I still haven't found the window to book that actually works, and they do not care that they are deceptive.

The problem is we have to pay for airfare, transportation from airport to the property and everything else, so we really did not come out ahead. They want $250 Deposit at property, too.

    We are very disappointed vacation club members who have been coming to this resort (formally Omni) for almost 10 years. Hotel guests need to be aware that whatever is promised, the vacation club does not honor contract agreements.

    The Pros:
    • Comfortable hotel with good amenities.
    • Updated rooms over the past couple of years.
    • Pina Colada; Da Vinci; Sushi Bar; Viva Mexico; Coffee / Dessert Bar; and the pool grille all provide decent food options.
    • The kids club and pool area are very good.
    • Door staff and servers at the bars / restaurants work very hard. Shout out to Estafania, Francisco, Orlando, Oliver, Victor, Alex, Raul, Ulises, Daniel, and Tomas for their service.

    • Great massages from Luis.

    The Cons:
    • The transition from Omni to Wyndham is greatly affecting existing vacation club members. 90% of the existing members we spoke with are unhappy.
    • Caracol Vacation Club customer service team (most) have been replaced, Lulu and Gabriella are rude and provide very poor customer service.
    • The vacation club is focused on signing new members, and not providing quality service to existing members. Existing members are “pushed” to upgrade current contracts, even though they don’t fulfill the original agreements.
    • Our vacation club member contract activities were not honored. The reaction from the club service group was we didn’t book correctly and / or reserved weeks which were not in our contract.
    o We booked 2-rooms for 7-days and received “black” in lieu of “silver” arm bands with reduced services.
    o Our kids were put on one floor, and my wife and I were provided a room on a different floor with twin beds. Both rooms were on non-club member floors.
    o Although part of our contract, we were told we could only use (1) Thai bed only one day during our week. Although other members received more options.
    o We had to pay for airport transportation.
    o We had to pay for a massage.
    o Top shelf alcohol is now limited, and additional charges required for brands that were previously available to club members.
    o The club member lounge is now only available part of the day because the vacation club team is using it for meetings and sales.
    • When speaking with the new Club Director (Gonzo). He indicated he would assist to correct the issues and help resolve our personal conflicts. However, we have not received any response or action from anyone at Caracol.

    • Buffet food quality and options are below average.

    Stay away from Wyndham. I am a 20 year owner who uses the resort every other year. I have never upgraded which is something they pressure you to do all the time. When I purchased my time share with Fairfield, I was promised, any resort, anywhere they own for the rest of my life. Well three years later Wyndham swooped in and bought Fairfield. They promised nothing would change. FF to today, I just returned from Old Alexandrea Virginia, resort. To make this quick, here is what transpired.

    I was strong armed into attending an "Owner Update" presentation, or I couldn't get my room key. Promised one hour. It was two hours. Found out they are changing their name to Travel & Leisure. They want to get away from the timeshare stigma, which they are and hide their bad reputation name. The old putting lipstick on a pig is still a pig. So sitting through the two hours I hear basically about all these new features and avenues that they want to drain you of even more money each year. Their original promises went by the way side. Bottom line, my existing timeshare is mostly worthless as they are going to block me out of many of the resorts and of the ones I can get into, I will be getting the worse accommodations.

    In the Old Alexandrea we stayed in I was exposed to just that. A dungeon of a room with no windows, looked nothing like what they have on their website describing this location, spots on the carpet, electrical sockets can't hold a plug they are so worn out, random wires coming out of the wall and stuffed under the carpet, black mildew in the shower, a shower door that couldn't be closed, paint flaking off everywhere, furniture that would look bad in a yard sale and more.

    To get back to the status I had when I purchased it? Walk away from my current contract, hand then 60K, plus approximately 1200 every year for maintenance fees and then get the right to pay more on top of they to get nice perks again. Wyndham is horrible, They bait and switch, they are letting loyal owners get screwed, they are everything that is bad about timeshares. If you are a current owner, I'm sorry for you, if you are considering, know that EVERYTHING they tell you is a lie and run away as fast as you can.

I asked multiple questions. Got home, and after carefully reading the fine print, what I told I would receive was not included. I canceled the timeshare and was able to receive a refund.

    The additional problem comes in because now I am trying to use the promo that I paid for and they are telling me that I cannot because it is not in my name, which it should've been. I asked multiple people at the resort I toured to change the name because it should be under mine and not his. Everyone told me "Don't worry about it. As long as you have the confirmation number you can book." Well, that is not the case because I cannot even speak to a manager at Wyndham because my name is nowhere on any of the promos. I tried to contact the rep who sold me the initial promo and his response was "I told you that. He had a promo available and you did not so I put it under his name. Most people travel as a family. Just have him book it." No, he did not.

    There is no way that I would've agreed to pay for a promo that I cannot use. Especially with someone who I do not want to travel with. I cannot get a manager, the initial rep isn't resourceful, the person I spoke with when trying to reach a manager told me to contact my bank for a refund. This has been one of my worst customer service experiences. As an avid traveler and travel agent, I would NEVER recommend Club Wyndham or any of its affiliates to anyone.

    I made a reservation on 3/26/2024 at Extra Holidays for WorldMark Lake Tahoe and received my confirmation number, next day the complete mount was charged to my credit card, this reservation was for 4/27/2024 to 4/30/2024. On 4/11/2024 my plans changed and I made the cancellation through same website and received the cancellation email, then I waited a few days for the refund on credit card as I read on the website takes a while to process.

    A week later 4/18/2024 I contacted via phone Extra Holidays and they said they don’t have any records on my name or the confirmation number I gave them. I also called the hotel directly and their answer was all reservations are managed directly through Extra Holidays. The person who was assisting me at Extra Holidays named Alina wasn’t able to find a solution or transfer me to talk to another person who could solve this problem, she denied all the arguments I was giving to her, even I gave her the credit card transaction details, finally she hanged me out.

    This is such a horrible scam. Me and my wife went to the "presentation" just so we can get all of our free stuff, paid the deposit, did the thing, sent our voucher in for the free getaway and never heard anything back. I called them to see what was going on and was told I didn't respond to them in time and it was cancelled but they'll reinstate it, so I filled out even more paperwork, mailed it again and was told I had to pay another deposit and as they tried to upsell me on paying more for a longer vacation. After some back and forth with the very rude, condescending lady on the phone, I told her, "We're no longer interested," we weren't paying another deposit and she then proceeded to just hang up on us.

    I have been a Wyndham owner for almost 10 years. The promise was "You can vacation when and where you want to". That is a lie. Wyndham does not have enough inventory (rooms) in places of high demand (beaches in the summer is what I can verify) to follow up on that promise. When you can't get a room, they offer you a waitlist then cancel it before it can be filled (three times they've cancelled my waitlist requests with no email notifications of any kind). Maintenance fees go up every year even though Wyndham said the cost of vacationing will never go up (meaning the # of points to vacation at a given location won't change) but that isn't told to potential owners when you're buying your timeshare. Potential new buyers - please do not waste your hard earned money on this scam.

    Complaint filed against this hotel with the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau, and New York state attorney general. Do the same if you suspect you're a victim of fraud by this hotel. Also, read the bottom of this review about a class action lawsuit against LuxUrban Hotels Inc. and NYC's fining them. Read all the one-star reviews here and the reviews on Trip Advisor if you need more proof, wish I did that first. Others on there have had similar experiences like mine. Here’s what happened:

    I booked a room back in Mar. through booking.com for a holiday in June. While it's standard for hotels to collect credit card information for reservations, I was shocked to find out that I was charged for the full stay. And on 4/11/24 booking.com notified me, via email, that the hotel canceled my reservation, with no reason given. Attempts to contact the hotel directly were futile. The number provided in my confirmation email was out of service, and the hotel's direct website was no longer accessible. Yet, the hotel continues to accept reservations through other travel agencies. This inconsistency raises concerns!

    Upon contacting booking.com, I learned that the hotel is allegedly "under foreclosure." I was advised to file a claim with my bank, which I promptly did. However, it's unfair for financial institutions or customers to bear the cost of the hotel's mismanagement. What's more alarming is the irregular practice of fully charging guests without prior notification. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and could have significant financial implications for unsuspecting travelers.

    In light of these issues, I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fraud department, and the New York state attorney general. To others awaiting refunds, I strongly encourage you to take similar actions with your bank, the BBB, FTC, and NY state attorney general. Consumers deserve better treatment and transparency from businesses, especially in the hospitality industry. Let this serve as a cautionary tale to fellow travelers. This hotel is doing some shady business! Avoid! Additionally, I'm just now learning that LuxUrban is facing a class action lawsuit and NYC has slapped LuxUrban with a $1.2 million dollar fine for illegal short-term rentals. Read more here: **.

    We booked a preview at Sundestin in Destin, FL through Wyndham. On the second morning of our stay, we found two bed bugs in our bed. We informed the hotel, and they told us to call Wyndham. We called Wyndham customer service who told us to call some other Wyndham hotline. We called that number and were told to call the first number again. It went in circles like this a few times. We originally asked if there was any other hotel availability as we didn’t want to stay in a hotel with bed bugs. They told us they could only put us in another room in the same hotel. We said, in that case, we would want to leave our vacation early and requested at least a partial refund.

    Everyone we spoke to at Wyndham said we would have to speak to someone else about that. Ultimately, we were told they had submitted a complaint ticket and someone from Wyndham would be calling us back about it shortly. Based on all of our conversations, this seems unlikely to happen. It was bad enough to find the bed bugs, but getting the run-around from every Wyndham representative was even more frustrating. We will not be staying with them again.

    Wyndham ripped me off! I owned 12,000 annual timeshare credits that I had owned for over 20 years!! After over 20 years of paying maintenance fees (and I rarely used the credits) I hit a really bad spot financially and fell behind on my maintenance fees. They sent me a letter threatening to cancel my membership if I didn't make a payment within a specified timeframe. I called and informed them of when I would be making a payment.

    True to my word, I made a payment of nearly $2,000 to bring my account current. They drafted the money from my bank account, and then canceled my shares. When I realized this about six months later upon trying to make a reservation, I asked to have my ownership reinstated because they canceled my contract in error. They agreed to do so only IF I paid the maintenance fees during the time my shares were canceled, despite the fact I was unable to use the credits which I had intended to use for travel and instead, I had to pay for a hotel. They stole my money and they ripped me off, stealing 12,000 timeshare credits!!

Once joined the first set of tasks can be completed and then the scam begins. They want joined people to pay like a lot of thousands of dollars to recharge their so called platform account to rate a combo trip called task.

    When people pay their own money on this the withdrawal cannot be made. I assume Travel+Leisure co do this fake five-star rating thing purposely with this platform to attract tourists by cheating. This must be stopped as one set of people get caught to the scam and lost their money as well as another set of people choose trip destinations depending on this fake rating.

    Wyndham Palmas Del Mar Puerto Rico Review. Visited April 2024. In my 73 years of visiting hundreds of resorts, this was the worse experience of my life time. We visited the pool on our second day. I received a towel for myself, I asked for two, but was only handed one by the attendant. A few minutes later my wife came to the pool and I asked for another towel. He looked at his list and said there is only one person in room 12. I explained that was an error, I had registered my wife and I, and I needed a towel. He said no. So I went to the front desk. The Towel attendant followed me. They fussed around and then said to wear a wrist band at the pool and she gave me a towel. I saw her talk to the Towel attendant.

    Two days later we visited the pool. My wife went first and got two towels. She used both of the towels to cover her lounge chair. Which is common practice. I went up to the Towel attendant and asked for a towel. He said my towel was already issued and pointed to my wife. I said I needed a towel. He said "How many people do you have in that room?" I was stared at by him and given no towel. So I went to the front desk and asked to speak to the Hotel General Manager. They fussed around and tried to have me speak to them, I said no.

    10 minutes later I was told she had gone to the restroom. 10 minutes later the Manager of Customer Services came out and said the General Manager was on a long conference call and not available. He asked if he could help. I explained to him that I was not happy paying over $500 a day on the weekends and over $300 a day during the week and having to beg for a towel. I explained that their small towels did not cover a chaise lounge and people do not like sitting and lying in other peoples sweat and sun tan oil. I told him that I was told the problem would be taken care of 2 days ago. It was not. He apologized and said he would correct the problem. But I should please understand that the Pool Towel Attendant was just following instructions. He then brought me to the front desk, told the receptionist to give me a towel. I then said two please, she gave him a double take, did not look at me, smirked and handed me the towels.

    NOW WE ARE AT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEMS, It Started with the Towel Attendant issues, the Second issue was with the Customer Service Manager not recognizing poor customer service, but sticking up for the Towel Attendant and a poor policy, The Third is the Front Desk Receptionist demonstrating disfavor on a customer request. The Fourth and final is the Hotel General Manager's refusal to meet with a customer. And she obviously is the source of this poor attitude and service. We spent $4,731.85 at the Wyndham Palmas Beach. My son, his wife and four grand children Live in Puerto Rico, three minutes from this hotel. We will visit Puerto Rico multiple time in the future, But never the Wyndham. That is to bad considering Kayla the Pool Waitress was perfect, and the Bartender in the Trova Diner was great.

    Buyer, be warned! If you purchase, which is a horrible financial investment, please know that you have very little recourse when Wyndham "takes" your money when you try to protect your reservations and points. In short, Owner Resolution (Darla is one such employee) does not care about you as an owner or that you are a long-term, highly respected, and never-an-issue owner! I was swindled out of $149 recently, and I have been an owner for over 20 years (my mortgage completely paid off, and I have always paid my monthly maintenance fee on time). I could not discourage ownership more and know that my sons and daughter have chosen not to accept a transfer of ownership upon my death. That should tell you something! Again, the Owner Resolution department does not care about you as an owner, and they have employees such as Darla to prove that every day!

    I don’t know anything about Hyatt or Marriott timeshares but there’s absolutely no way the experience can be worse than Wyndham. The entire thing is a scam. They will throw free things your direction and offer you a very small buy-in. Once you buy-in, you will be trapped. If you are able to book one of their crap timeshares (the decent ones ironically are always full) they harass you to buy more points any time you book. They threaten you if you don’t buy more by saying you’ll need to pay more costs for the points you have unless you buy more.

    First time ever experiencing this. My boyfriend and I had weekend vacation with our 4 kiddos and went to Branson MO. We first purchased tickets through a coupon website, and we had to go pick them up. Once we got there getting the tickets were fine, but then they talked us into purchasing FRITZ Adventure tickets through them and had to go pick them up at Wyndham Vacation Resort and sit through a power point presentation. We asked how long it would be and he stated 120 minutes.

    My boyfriend was like "So 2 hours". So, as we only did a weekend vacation our kids were anxious and ready to go have fun, we scheduled to pick up the tickets and let the person know up front we were not interested and did not want to waste anyone's time. He stated that the presentation is mandatory and that our tickets that we purchase would be voided. We sat through the presentation and the powerpoint was fine and good. Made us laugh and our kiddos got to color some coloring books, but they were anxious and ready to go.

    We stated we were not interested in the timeshare at this time in our lives and we have 4 kids, and we financially cannot afford to go out on vacation as much as this would cost a month and it's just not in our budget. He then brought up his manager and he tried giving us a better deal. We stated no. Once we hit our 2-hour presentation, I was getting annoyed, and my kids were anxious and ready to go have fun and enjoy our vacation. Manager referred to my boyfriend and I interrupted and said no we are done our kids our anxious and we hit our 2 hr. mark with the presentation please let us get on with our vacation. Manner finally got the hint and threw his pin on the table and said alright get this out of here.

    We were 30-45 minutes AFTER our 2-hour presentation by the time we finally got out. We had to get over and do a survey question thing with someone else that tried one last time to get us on a better offer and lower deal. We flat out said no thank you. They did offer us a 3 day 2-night stay vacation room for free. Just got the call today and oh no its for free we have to pay the taxes and also do ANOTHER 2 HOUR PRESENTATION "TOUR" and then you will get a $100 gift card as well. Ridiculous and a SCAM!

    We were walking through our hotel in Vegas when we were approached by "the recruiters". My wife and I had never sat through one of the presentations but we entertained the thought and made sure we got as many free gifts as we could. We were told it would be a 2 hr presentation and there was no obligation to purchase to receive the gifts. We took our 14 yo onto the 9 am presentation and that's when it all went downhill.

    They didn't start until 9:30 but the 30 min presentation was actually fun and light-hearted. He even said, 'We know most people only show up for the gifts and that's fine. If you're a "NO" then just tell us so nobody's time is wasted.' So once we're were singled off with our individual sales rep, I told her straight up we were a HARD NO and didn't want to waste her time. She tried every tactic and had other, more experienced sales rep step in to try their mojo. My wife and I stood firm on the HARD NO but yet they still tried for the full 90 minutes after the 30 min presentation.

    I was watching the clock and once we fulfilled our 2 hr obligation to receive the gifts I told her we were ready to go. They kept us there for another 45 mins trying to sell us "trial memberships". I kept my cool (which was very hard) and said that we fulfilled our part and wanted our gifts and to get back to our vacation. We did receive everything they promised but it was not worth it. These timeshares are a total scam and they kept referring to them as "assets" and we were dumb for not realizing the value.

    If people still want to go for the free gifts, just make sure you play hardball when "the recruiters" are offering you gifts. We definitely maxed out what they could give us after we told them we were skeptical about the presentation. We received $125 in dining credits at our hotel, $100 in slot play, a "free" 3 day 2 night trip and another $100 in slot play at another casino. As long as you don't succumb to their high-pressure sales tactics and stay firm with your "HARD NO" mentality, you won't get suckered into buying into this scam.

    I only went through the sales time share presentation. I am not an owner, and NEVER would I want to be an owner. Total scam artists! They blatantly lied to me when talking to me about sitting through the time share presentation. They lied and told me they would get me checked into the hotel earlier, and knowing how skeptical I was they told me I was going to a "different" presentation that had no heavy sales and was only a "tour." I was fine with all of it realizing I was committing to a time share presentation but there was a voucher for a "free trip" at the end. I told them I would not go over time because I was literally JUST starting my vacation - we'd just arrived (they snag you at check in!) 1 hour 45 minutes later it's a total you-know-what show.

    Scammy salespeople, guilt-inducing sales techniques, taking FOREVER and I went ahead and googled reviews really quickly and read all of the scandalously TERRIBLE reviews and was like "Heck no I'm not committing right now- I have to do my research like a normal responsible consumer." I finally had to get angry and cause a small scene, sharing what I'd read online about their terrible reputation, and they got me the heck out of there. Okay, then I go to check in (based on the promise to get me checked in early) and the front desk said they have to affiliation with Wyndham sales and they lied to me.

    At that same time the original salesperson who signed me up (and lied heavily) for the presentation was lurking around in the hall listening to me. He came in and lied again, blaming my experience on someone we'd met later who was actually a sweet person (he was the person who actually started the presentation for us.) I told him no, it was him who lied to us. He "apologized" and then weirdly kept lurking outside the door watching me while I spoke with the front desk check-in person. It made for an uncomfortable vacation because my kids were nervous we'd bump into that man again, and he made us uncomfortable.

    The timeshare people are ALL LIARS. Also we made a lot of friends while at the resort (Bonnet Creek Orlando.) A few told us that they were members but they were disappointed because once Wyndham Vacations got their money they could rarely get the room they wanted at the time of year they wanted it. It seems only if you're a big spender with a large and expensive plan with a ton of points, do you get decent options for what time of year a room is available. Scammers is what they are. Avoid at all costs!

    Oh, and the "free trip certificate" is an absolute joke! Most of the hotels are 2-3 stars with terrible reviews. A few look decent but now that the kids will be out of school soon all of the decent hotels are no longer available, they apparently have no dates available. Back a month ago there were a few nicer-looking resorts with one-bedroom suites (available with an upcharge because the ones truly for free look flea-ridden and straight out of the 70s) available for June but now all of a sudden, since I can finally book, they are all gone. It's a scam, all of it. Shame on Wyndham and how they rip people off with their strong-handed, guilt-inducing, dishonest sales techniques and their total and complete LIES.

    We booked through Monster to attend a timeshare sales pitch. We were originally placed at the resort but had to change our travel dates by two days and ended up at a hotel. We are a family of 4 with an 8 year old. The hotel we were placed at was connected to a Cabrera! We witnessed a "john" or "pimp" standing outside the hotel rooms on the first floor while we were on the third floor. We also witnessed the "call girls" going in and out of rooms. Before we arrived, we read reviews that the pool was not working. We called to confirm and they said it was warm and the hot tub was hot. Not true. The water was FRIGID! That is when we could get on after seeing help that the pool was padlocks shut.

    We were told there was a continental breakfast. When we went down at 6:30am were told that there were limited bags of small muffins and a granola bar. The family before us took 3, leaving two for our family of 4 and none for the family people after us--at 6:30am! We found somebody's dirty underwear under the bed! Both beds were rolling beds and frequently rolled away while getting into or out of them. The first night at about 8pm when we were getting into bed, we called the front desk to ask for an extra pillow and blanket and towels. They didn't answer. We went to the front desk and they told us that was impossible because they closed at 6pm. The gym was closed "until further notice". The ice machine wasn't even plugged in... There were missing pictures or mirrors from the wall....Only the hanging nails remained in the wall.

    While I understand this review is about the hotel, Monster put us up at this hotel!! Wyndham and Monster represents this hotel (Ramada by Wyndham in Tempe, AZ). NO family should be staying at this hotel, much less a family that is being represented by a major resort stay. During our sales pitch, the lady said "oh I know where you are staying" and giggled. Very disappointing!! You can do better, Monster and Wyndham!!

    We went to a timeshare presentation. Our person didn't want to take "no". We ended up purchasing 400,000 points for about $4500 as a "trial". Went to make our first vacation and wanted to bring the whole family. We told them we wanted 3 rooms. They said we couldn't do that (wanted to be able to sleep 9 people comfortably). I spoke to them one day and evidently, they booked the vacation. I called a couple of days later to see about the 3rd room, they said it wasn't available. No one told me we booked the other two rooms, each conversation was easily over an hour and they told me next year I needed to reserve sooner, but no more than 6 months in advance. I got a call last week from Puerto Rico asking why we weren't there. This was the first I knew of our actual vacation being booked.

    Long story short they say I booked the two rooms and called to book the third. That it was my fault and only gave me back half my points. We paid $4500 for a "trial" and we can't even really use it the way we wanted. I am so upset about this. I will NEVER EVER go to a timeshare presentation again. I will NEVER Support Club Wyndham. I should have come here first to see the reviews. They are thieves. I don't understand when you tell someone that you don't know what you are doing, that you need help, and then talk to you for hours that there is no real confirmation of our trip! Where was the confirmation from originally booking it? There was NONE! I guess two reminders of my trip went to spam or whatever just before my trip (too late to get an airline ticket).

Hotel was in terrible condition, appliances were old and barely working if at all. The room was filthy, I mean just a terrible experience. Stay away from Wyndham.

    The experience we had at Wyndham Resorts in Las Vegas turned into an utter nightmare. We lured in by a woman while walking through the property and were enticed to attend a Wyndham presentation in exchange for tickets to a show. Little did we know that this would turn into a four-hour meeting complete with high-pressure sales tactics and manipulation from their salespeople. Throughout the entire process, we were constantly pressured to purchase a timeshare, despite our repeated refusals. The tactics employed by their employees were deceptive and unethical.

    The fact that Wyndham needed 6 salespeople to harass us throughout the day should have been a big red flag that they wouldn’t let up until we bought something, which unfortunately, we did. Throughout the presentation, false statements were made regarding the timeshare. We were misled about the maintenance fee, and told it was a fixed cost that would not change. Additionally, we were falsely informed that we could change the payment frequency from monthly to annually. The sales team also pitched the timeshare as an investment, claiming we could rent it out for extra income.

    These misrepresentations only served to further deceive and manipulate us into making an ill-informed decision we now deeply regret. It is clear to us now that we were taken advantage of due to our youth and inexperience. We trusted that Wyndham, as a reputable company, would act in an ethical and honest manner. Unfortunately, our experience has shattered that trust. We hope that Wyndham takes this matter seriously and takes steps to rectify the harm that has been done. We trust that you will address our concerns promptly and appropriately.

    I purchased a $99 2-day vacation deal when visiting San Antonio Seaworld. One lay lied to me, hid every detail, and presented it as a hotel deal. When I tried to reserve the hotel, many terms came in, and it even told me there would be a penalty if I did not attend presentations. It is $150. This is a complete robbery, and no one should buy this package. Do not waste your time and money on these scammers. Never purchase this deal. They are scams. They steal your money. Stay away.

    Be aware that if you book through any third-party reservation system, like VRBO, Priceline, etc. if it’s a busy weekend they are going to give your room away. I do not understand why you would work with these other reservation systems if you are not going to honor the reservations. I’ve had a confirmation number for four months, and a teammate has had a confirmation number for six months… And both of us got moved 25 minutes away. Confirmations mean nothing and reservations are pretend. When you check in they also will have complete apathy or situation and merely give you a phone number to call to figure out where you’ve been moved.

    Wyndham will say anything to sell you a contract and then hides behind the fact it’s completely verbal so they can not be held accountable. Then we agreed to pay them a settlement to leave the contract which they told us in writing would cause the account to be closed and reported as zero balance. This did happen but two months later they reopened it, reported it as foreclosed, and went against what they said again. This company should be driven in to the dirt through consumer protections.

    This applies to both Worldmark by Wyndham and Club Wyndham timeshares. I have been involved for over 25 years. During that time they have continued to sell access to additional people while reducing the number of facilities you can access. This makes it harder to get time where you want it. The maintenance fees increase - which to an extent may be justified, but with more people having purchased access, the amount being collected certainly has increased.

    The websites are terrible - designed for sales and not for users. Phone access is limited in terms of when it is available. You can grow old waiting on hold and then have the line go dead. Elections of the Board members is a farce - candidates are picked by Wyndham and there is no access to them after elected. Sales staff are on commission and will tell you whatever it takes to get you to purchase. Promises to assist you after purchase are a common device. I have never found a person who responded after a sale. The upkeep of the properties seems to be spiraling downward.

Timeshares are not a good deal, in any regard and the salespeople will say whatever it takes to get a sale. Fees and expenses for timeshare ownership increase annually at far more than the rate of inflation. In the years I have owned, the costs have risen annually by about 10%, while the company (Wyndham) adds more restrictions and fees so as to benefit the company and reduce the value and utility of ownership to the consumers. Being a timeshare owner is something I really regret. Ownership has been an ongoing hassle and source of frustration! Do not buy a timeshare (from any company) no matter how good they make it sound!

The two months afterward were made okay, but that first one wasn’t. That little screw up on Wyndham's part cost us nearly $1200.00 and locked our 450000 points away from our use.

    I hope you're reading this review because you are either wondering whether to stop at a Club Wyndham (now Travel & Leisure) table for a free gift that sounds too good to be true (it is) or because you are wondering whether or not to sign up for this "ownership package" but aren't sure if it's worth it (it's not). First of all, I am not a club owner. I am a friend of club owners who are adding me to their membership because I am helping them navigate this awful product. I have stayed with them on multiple Club Wyndham resorts and have attended the sales pitches (aside from the first one). I am a world traveler and know how to travel to amazing places on a very strict budget. The bottom line is that Club Wyndham is a rip-off. Even if you are independently wealthy and have unlimited funds, this is not worth it.

    1. The gift at the table just for listening is NOT worth it. You are likely being lured by an offer for a free week-long trip anywhere in the world. Chances are, this gift is not by a Wyndham partner, and Wyndham won't do anything to help you navigate the awful product. The blackout dates are terrible (just do a basic web search on the name of the company on the resort certificate). The properties are basically motels, and the terms are terrible. It is a useless product that you have to upgrade to get any value out of it, and that makes sense, because Wyndham gives it away for free, then claims not to know anything about it.

    2. The high pressure sales pitches DO NOT END, even after you have purchased the membership. Every time you visit a resort with your points, you are pressured into attending another sales pitch session. You pay $40 to hold your space and it is only refunded if you stay in the session for 60 minutes or more. You feel trapped in those sessions and they break out the paperwork and math, bombarding you with numbers with no care for your financial well-being, saying this is a one time offer, or your addendum is ending and too good to pass up, and other nonsense. They say that the true value of the membership is in upgrading it constantly.

    Why are you paying $20,000 plus just to need to keep paying another $20 to 100k in order to get more than one 5-day vacation out of your plan? Even when you decline to go to these sales visits, they say things like, "Oh, we upgraded our portal, and you need to attend the session to learn how to use the new website." or "We will give you a swag bag" but they never do.

    3. The sales teams DO NOT CARE about you, your financial predicament, or your well-being. They will say they understand, then continue to bombard you with numbers.

    4. The amazing resorts they show you pictures of ARE NOT ATTAINABLE at basic, or even gold level membership levels.

    5. The per visit cleaning fees and monthly maintenance fees add up, and combined with the cost of the membership, are NOT worth it.

    Think about how many years you have left on this planet. Think about how much of your cash, not borrowed money, you would be willing to pay for a vacation on an annual basis. Multiply that out by the number of years you have left for able-bodied and enjoyable travel. Compare that to the cost of Club Wyndham or Travel & Leisure or Elon Musk Space Travel or whatever Wyndham rebrands itself as in the future to prevent people from Googling their company and seeing the awful experience and value it provides (that was our old company, we are under new management now, so don't look at those reviews...). Interest rates are high right now. A $20k cash investment will yield at least $1,000 annually in interest. Use that to offset the cost of vacations and let your investment grow. Don't donate it to Wyndham.

She promised if we would come to the 2 hour presentation that we would receive a free 7 nights at any Wyndham Resort with no blackout dates which was the biggest lie ever. The certificate is for 7 nights at one of their properties that isn't Wyndham but more like motel 6. There is all kinds of black out dates as well. We reluctantly agreed to go to their 2 hour promotion because the girl seemed legit and she was set up in front of Wyndham.

    It turned out to be a high pressure sales job. I asked for prices but the salesman said they need to see what you qualify for first. I told them they would not be running my credit. Then they start to challenge you and make it out like you can't afford it but that is just another sleazy attempt to manipulate. Before I left they finally showed me the price and dropped it several times in a row to try to make a deal. I really feel for anyone that gets conned into this. Go to the owner's page and read the nightmares. I always thought Wyndham was a good company but no good company would be this sleazy! By the way, they do give out snacks. We had the choice between 2 golden Oreos and 1 half eaten bag of chips. ;)

    Was @ seaworld & a salesperson nice guy allured us 2 a kiosk & gave us 2 seaworld guest pass. Expires in 7 days. We are seaworld annual pass holders. Thought was nice. Could bring 2 friends w us to seaworld, & also promised 8/7 day night in any of their resort, if we went presentation 2 hrs which lasted 3 hrs -I understand they are trying their best to sell. It's their job, why I am giving 1 star? Liz from Cuba, run credit w/o asking you 1st, then she asks me the opportunity, to show me what I could pay, agreed run my credit -When I refused to buy she became rude, & said why I wasted her time -Then insinuated I was not buying because of financial issues, so I offered to show bank account $$$, then she said I was playing games & she runs away literally, never comes back.

    Edward appears, gives his Montblanc Pen LOL, folds a 2 page paper., ask us to sign it that we are declining their offer, didn't give us a copy of the declination, made me really uncomfortable, & asks us again, "What gift were you promised?" 4th x reminding you, from the beginning they are giving you something for free, which is NOT FREE guys. We are giving our time, that's the only way they can get people in the door, also when people is rude to you when you are being nice on your weekend, I don't think there's a price you can put on it, so Edward move us to another Lady.

    Finally they let us go, reminds you about you gift again lol, I usually stay at the Hyatt so you can't compare, as I am leaving she says if I wanted her cheap pen, passive aggressive ** Lady not nice again, so I will see if I can use the nights I paid for with my time, NOT A GIFT & will be back to report my experience.

    I can’t believe what a scam this company is, but then I typed their company into Google and see they have 1.1 stars on here out of 1200+ reviewers! We went to their presentation and heard the whole 2-hour speech from what felt like a bunch of male strippers in clothes selling snake oil. They claim the nights they give you at “ANY” Wyndham resort is free of course, you're going to pay taxes and fees which is fine BUT we go to use these so-called free nights and they are basically charging for two nights what it would cost for two nights without the deal! Over $200! We could find that by ourselves for cheaper.

    The lady we spoke with was super rude and unhelpful, like she clearly didn’t want to deal with the public, so we decided to just get our deposit back BUT they won’t just put that deposit back on our card, they insist on sending us a check… but they want their money right away but when you want your money back right away it’s not an option.

    Today my wife and I participated in Wyndham Resort Time Share presentation in Seattle. I had no intention to purchase anything, my goal was to get some information and take advantage of free gifts that they offered. I knew from the beginning it will be more than 90 minutes but I was okay with that. The first two salespeople were trying to persuade me by putting numbers in front of me but I told them no power and number can persuade me today as I like to do more research and talk with existing owners. After 3 hours they called another person who introduced himself as Senior Manager. That guy was extremely rude. He was talking down to us and called me idiot and used cursed words. I was respectful till then but after that I ended it right there and mentioned I have no intention to discuss further.

    I have not used their program so I am not going to judge that here but I want to mention several red flags for others who might be thinking about it.

    1. If you talk to potential customers like that, how are you going to treat me after purchasing it? My guess is, like trash.
    2. Wyndham people are so scared of customer doing research and talk with current owners, to me that is huge red flag. If your product is as good as what you advertise, why so scared?
    3. You can same deal if you look and be member of AAA, Costco and etc.
    My recommendation to Wyndham, hire right people to do sales. Teach your staff to respect potential customers because reputation is everything in this business.

    No wonder they have such low review here. I am sorry for those who paid these people so much money.

    Sent from my iPhone. I had the worst experience ever at this hotel!!! If I told you everything, you would not believe me. First off, it took forever to get checked me. The representative at the front desk ignored me until another customer said something and then he asked if he could help me. I was issued a room with a broken phone and toilet!!! Couldn’t use the restroom for hours. After hours of complaining, I was issued another room. The manager’s name was David and his attitude towards me was so nasty!!!! The shower head in that room was rusted out!!!! Someone started beating on the door and stated that we better not say anything. I’m still not sure if that was a threat.

    I demanded a refund at this point so that I could find another hotel but the manager refused!! I called customer care and was told to submit a complaint online. I really should have called the police because I really felt unsafe. I contacted the corporate, however they didn’t resolve the issue. I requested a refund for this inconvenience and nasty hotel with very unprofessional customer service. The corporate office personnel were just as nasty. That is why the staff at that hotel are so unprofessional. They know that nothing will be done about it.

    Advertised as a Pet friendly hotel, false advertising, the staff the facility and accommodations are far from pet friendly. Property is inadequately run by unprofessional staff, loud, disruptive and disrespectful. There is no front desk staff, because they are socializing in hallways (loudly) with other staff. Takes them until 5 pm to finish cleaning an off season small hotel. As a frequent traveler, I would strongly suggest to steer clear of this property. Outside grounds are filthy with garbage, the outside doors remain unlocked allowing anyone full access to hotel at all hours of the day and night. Witnessed unkempt homeless persons enter to utilize free breakfast and walk back out into the streets. I will personally not stay at another Wyndham property and recommend they take more care of their property and hire a more suitable staff.

We gave them 3 different weeks we were available and it is amazing that NONE of the dates we picked have any 1 bedrooms available at ANY of their resorts. So now you have to pay a $600-$1000 upcharge to book a larger unit. Not to mention the customer service works banker's hours so if you happen to work, forget ever being able to get a hold of them when it is a convenient time for the customer.

    Throughout our time of ownership with Wyndham we have had shady salespersons tell us many untruths about our benefits. Also many benefits have been reduced or eliminated. The most recent frustration is with a VIP benefit known as Reciprocal Advanced Reservation Priority. As platinum owners we are supposed to be able to book resorts outside of our home resorts at 10-11 months. This would give us an advantage in trying to book other resorts.

    The whole premise of timeshare like wyndham is that you want to travel to other places in addition to your own resorts. We are supposed to get 4 such bookings per year. I just got off the phone with Owner Resolution a department that takes care of owner problems. I was told that, "sure you can book RARPs at selected resorts". It turns out that Wyndham has drastically reduced the number of resorts in that selected list to the point where it is no longer a benefit. I was told Wyndham can change the list at their own whim. I am royally PO'd. I would give them 0 stars if I could

    I was extended an offer to try Club Wyndham by one of my credit card companies. The process was simple (of course) because all they require is for you to pay taxes on the free resort stay (where they receive profit) and you are set for a 3 night 4 day stay. I booked and funny enough they contacted several time to confirm. All agent attitudes are sentiments of “no worries all is fine and you’re going to love these resort."

    The accommodations were perceived to be so great we invited another couple along. We land and get to the resort to check in to find they no longer had a reservation nor any signs I ever was booked. Thank goodness I had printed out our confirmation paper. Ohhhh noooow they locate it. Next the agent next to the one who was serving us leans over and tells her to check if we were on the cancellation list. Well guess what?! We were! Why you might ask because they say they overbooked. This happens all of the time it’s in the fine print, proceeded to hand us a 800 number to call for assistance. The 800 number is the same place we initially booked.

    Now not only is this embarrassing as we’ve invited others, the agent on the phone advises of a new place. FORTY ONE miles a way that is Significantly cheaper than the resort and from what we were told a undesirable place to stay. I advised the agent this was unacceptable. She played her part and empathized (acting), told me she would expedite the matter and call me back. NEVER RECEIVED that call and $1,500 later (pretty sure more with food and other related cost), I had the pleasure of spending my own money for accommodations.

    I NEVER want to hear Wyndham ANYTHING. They should be ashamed of themselves. In addition as many others have stated, the people at the resort are nice but conditioned to respond as so. Their response was due to these units being also timeshares they are overbooking. As a customer, I don’t care about your lack of Operational planning, you are supposed to be a reputable company. Not in my eyes anymore and if you don’t have money to donate, I suggest you stay elsewhere. Don’t fall for a free anything and pay taxes only. Last, if you want a descent resort in Myrtle Beach try the PRINCE resort. Erase Wyndham out of your vocabulary. If only there was a 0 review score. You’ve been warned.

    We just had the worst experience ever at a Wyndham Vacation sales center in Sevierville, TN, connected with Club Wyndham Smoky Mountains. No problems at all at the actual resort -- it is great and the people here have been wonderful. However, we were told to go to the "informational presentation" about all the changes that have occurred since Travel & Leisure was purchased. Long story short, we were not given detailed information about the new programs. Rather, we were lied to repeatedly and never got the questions we did have answered. They basically blamed us for not consolidating our existing contracts previously under Travel & Leisure, which did not even exist when we were last told about consolidating our contracts. At that time, they were going to charge us $40,000 to change our account, which we thought was ridiculous.

    Two years later, we went back and were told that the precious offer was not good and we were better off doing something else, which of course involved buying more points. So, we agreed that time and purchased $15,000 worth of additional points and added a new PIC program that ended up giving us VIP Silver status. This time, they basically told us what we did last time was worthless and we should do something else, but they never even told us what that was. They lied about our VIP status, among other things. We got frustrated and angry and they ended up showing us the door. We asked to speak with a manager and they refused. It was truly unbelievable. Worst experience ever. These meetings are NOT to update you on benefits. They are for one purpose only -- to tell you that what you paid for isn't good enough and you need to spend more money. Deceptive sales tactics and outright lies.

    We called Wyndham customer care as soon as we left the office and filed a complaint. We also went through all our contracts with the customer service person and they confirmed that what they told us inside was not true and that the way our account had been set up was fine. They admitted that they use any and all types of sales tactics at those meetings and pretty much said they lie. It's unbelievable. Stay away from Club Wyndham sales centers at all costs.

During COVID lockdowns my mother was diagnosed with aggressive dementia, which required around the clock care for over 2+ years until her death. We were unable to travel and spent the majority of our time caring for my mom. Since we couldn’t travel we used our complimentary guest pass (we are afforded 45 passes per year) to let friends and members of our church to use the resorts. They helped to mitigate our maintenance fees and were able to enjoy Wyndham resorts since we were unable to leave my mom.

    Earlier this year, Wyndham notified us they were suspending our ownership for “commercial use” because we used too many guest passes and had not used our reservations for personal use. Our account was suspended for 90 days, BUT during that period they continued to collect maintenance fees of almost $6,000!!! We were charged for something THEY WERE NOT ALLOWING US TO USE. When we contacted them to complain, they said there was nothing they could do and owners are required to pay monthly maintenance fees regardless of circumstances. I joined a timeshare chat room where owners complained about maintenance fees being assessed during COVID when most of their resorts were CLOSED!!! They were directly profiting from the owners while they were closed.

    I did an online search and currently there are multiple class action lawsuits against Wyndham. We were deliberately lied to multiple times over the years to acquire more points and what we didn’t use could be used to mitigate maintenance fees via guest passes. We used that model for over 20+ years and never had an issue. Now Wyndham is saying if you use more guest passes than personal use, your account will be suspended…but, you still get stuck paying the maintenance fees. Timeshares are a dying business model and vacation share properties such as AirBNB and VRBO are destroying their market share daily. Do your research and by all means, BUYER BEWARE!!!

    In 2015 we were not provided with the complete and accurate needed to make a knowledgeable business decision and purchase of points. On Aug 11, 2023 we found out that in 2015 the number of points needed to reach silver VIP status was 400K points. We were sold 126K points, only enough points to bring our account balance to 371K. We were not informed that the threshold was 400K points to reach silver VIP. Instead of offering us a 155K points package we were given bonus points to give us temporary VIP status for 2 years. We now believe this was done so that in future years they could approach us again to buy another large quantity of points.

    If we had been informed of the 400K threshold we would have purchased the 155K points needed to get to the 400K silver VIP status. Now we are facing several hurdles to get to the VIP status our points entitle us. We cannot be grandfathered into the 300K Bronze VIP status. We cannot buy a small quantity of points to get to 400K. And the silver VIP is now 500K points which is a significantly large investment. We were scammed in 2015 when Wyndham took over Shawnee resorts and started switching to points packages. They used unethical sales practices designed to oversell us points and prevent us from getting the benefits we deserve.

    I became an owner in September of 2022 while I was on vacation with my boyfriend and our kids. When we got there to check in, they asked us some questions. One of the questions was is anyone going through a divorce. I stated, "Yes. Is that a problem?" and she goes, "No just make sure everything go under him if you guys decide to do it." So that was in the back of my mind to address in presentation. During our sit-down talk with our rep Debbie, I had told her that I was in the middle of a divorce, so I didn’t want my name as the head of this loan multiple times. I also stated that I didn’t want another thing to worry about paying for at this moment and they told me multiple times that they understood and would still see what they could do for me.

    After talking about everything and running numbers they came back with stating both Matt and I were approved. After that Matt and I talked about what we thought and that if it goes on him to pay and keep up with it then let’s run the numbers’ part. After the numbers were ran, we talked about waiting and discussing this once we got home because one, I am in the middle of a divorce and two we are boyfriend and girlfriend. The lady told us if we walked out today all the stuff she had to offer would go away. I then told her that we are already have all this on our plate plus looking into a vacation next year (as in 2023) to go on with our family.

    After asking us where we were going and finding out when. She stated, "Well let’s throw you in two free RCI week vacations. That way you can use those next year and this will all be worth it." Her sales pitch and the other people in there had a strong game. We still were back and forth about the whole thing, and she could tell but she quickly reassured us everything was legit and that this was an investment we could pass down to our kids. After believing everything Debbie said and sitting through a 5 min signing that went so fast my head was spinning, we left. About 2 weeks later I got a letter in the mail stating Matt was denied and all the money went on a credit card in my name. After doing a little more digging cause I was so upset I realized they put it in MY NAME.

    I was very upset but trying to stay positive in all this I decided to call the number for the RCI certificate and get those planned so this will all seem worth it. After getting the run around through multiple people I got told not once but twice that there were no places in Galveston TX which is where we told them multiple times, we were wanting to go this year. Then to add to it I found out that I can’t use them during holiday times. Which is another thing I told them multiple times that we were wanting to be on a beach in Galveston for fourth of July. They made it sound like we were getting something special to then find out it was a lie just to get us to sign that day and not think on it. To summarize we're interested in terminating our contract with Wyndham for the following reasons:

    •They told us that anytime we did not want the Timeshare we could give it back. We would lose the money we already paid in, but we could give it back. This was a lie. They told me the sales rep lied and told us wrong information.
    •They put 4,000 down payment on a Barclays credit card without my permission.
    • Manipulative and misleading sales pitch. Example the 2 weeks stay to Galveston TX for our family vacation this year that was a lie along with MULTIPLE times telling them I didn’t want it in my name or even the money on my credit card.
    • The extreme pressure put on us to make the sale and have us sign that day for a “great investment opportunity”.

    • During my time as a “owner” I could never seem to book anything that I wanted to book this year that I stated to Debbie during ours sales pitch.

    I haven’t used anything that they gave me or even the points. I have made my payments but am not able to make payments anymore. I am a single mom of two kids in the middle of a divorce and not only that not with Matt anymore. I have called and reached out to people trying to get this handled. Overall, I am no longer interested in being an owner of the Wyndham Resorts. I will be sure to spread the word to anyone willing to listen as to why buying timeshares are a scam.

    This experience has stressed my family out. We have written them and have been trying to get free from this scam. I stopped paying until we can figure out how to get out. Now they have damaged my credit and I can't get financed for a house. Me and my kids will be homeless soon. Wyndham didn't sell me anything but points. I don't own anything so they would not be out anything. They actually would come out better because they could turn around and sell my points to someone else and keep the money I paid in. These fraudulent Timeshare sales reps need to be stopped. If I was the only one complaining I would see that it was me, but across the board on Wyndham alone there are thousands of complaints and sad stories. Help.

    DON'T EVER WASTE YOUR MONEY AT A WYNDHAM HOTEL. Had reservations for 3 months. Super 8 by Wyndham cancelled our reservation 2 weeks before the PGA tournament. Because we had our rooms before they released the tournament was happening, thought they could sell our rooms for a lot more. Called corporate filed a complaint. AFTER making complaint and making new reservations at another Wyndham for an additional 150 per room.

    Garbage 8 Hotel called and offered our rooms back at original price. We declined because of unprofessional and corrupt business practices. Hoping Wyndham Corporate would uphold an honest and respectful customer service standard. They DID NOT!!! Corporate considered the matter closed. We cancelled our other reservation with Wyndham. Absolutely unacceptable corrupt business with NO accountability for their franchise. We travel a lot and will never give our money to the Wyndham Corporate chain.

    0 stars if we could! Like many others here, we have recently been the target of extremely poor account handling for owners that has caused us both financial harm as well as loss of time and energy trying to get THEIR mistake corrected. We did not have issues of this type when we bought our original developer credits that then evolved into Worldmark. WM was still was ok, and everything pretty much worked as far as getting vacations and utilizing our account. Our owner account itself has been paid in full for years, so we just pay the dues.

    Earlier this year after years of dues on AUTOPAY, which was taken out like clockwork, as verified by our statements and our lending institution, they all of a sudden locked us out of being able to get into reservations and said our account had an outstanding balance and we could not do anything unless it was up to date. Needless to say we were flabbergasted and immediately called to correct this.

    This began in March of 2023. The financial dept did verify that what I said was true, then I was turned over to Owner Care (which is anything but) but it has taken over 20+ calls to finally get the account saying we didn't owe anything and was up to date. I have spent hours and hours on the phone trying to do this. At no time prior to this happening did we get a letter or an email telling us there was this supposed issue with the account. They had told us there were like $300+ late fees on the account when IN FACT the dues account had been paid at their direction and amount they sent up, every month on autopay for YEARS.

    Meanwhile they deleted our RCI account which had over 26000 credits space banked there because of the so called "non-payment" even though again, we were never told this until we discovered we could not access the RCI portion for which we have been paying for with "Travel Share" for years. Our original developer purchase INCLUDED RCI and we were told at the time of purchase back in the 90's that this could not be taken away. Later, when we were told we had to have Travel Share to continue using RCI, I had questions, but was told we had to do that and pay Travel Share every month to continue with that, so we did. Now, however we have been shut out of RCI since May 1st, 2023 for over 2 months! We are paying for something we cannot even use.

    When we got through to RCI itself, (several different times to check) they told us that WM had cancelled our account for non-payment! This is after we had been told by WM that they were addressing the issue and making it right, but obviously they have not. Each time I would call Owner care, we were promised a fix in 3-5 business days, but here is over 2 MONTHS later and we still cannot access our RCI account and have lost over 13000 credits there because we couldn't get in there.

    On May 30th, 2023 they opened a so called "card" or inquiry with a reference number that meant they were checking into it and would fix it. The Owner Care supervisor rep promised to keep us updated on the issue. To date, even though I have called in many times and other reps have left her messages about this, we have never gotten any type of response. At times I wait 2 hours on the phone to be able to voice the fact that we still do not have what we have paid for. I have documented every call and who I talked to and the length of time. I feel there needs to be some type of action taken against them for fraudulent business and accounting practices.

    I made reservations for two rooms at the Wingate Inn in Lancaster, Pa. I prepaid for two rooms on February 7, 2003. Upon arrival on July 7, 2023 the hotel had changed hands and my reservation was now invalid. New owners of the “Inn at Lancaster” would not accept my reservation. I went to the other (new) Wyndham resorts about a mile away assuming they would honor a paid reservation. They refused to even acknowledge my issue. I called Wyndham to sort this issue out and got absolutely no help from anyone. They were rude and condescending. I called my credit card company and they are refunding my charges.

    My issue is the fact that I had an outstanding reservation paid in full and it was not honored. Wyndham should have contacted me and explained to me that the hotel was closing and given me an option to cancel or make a new reservation. Being tourist time in Lancaster we ended up paying over $100.00 more for each room. I would not recommend to anyone to ever do business with Wyndham again.

    Do not attend any of Wyndham presentations as they are complete lies. The latest one was where they told everyone that Wyndham owners voted to increase their inventory so they said they brought new inventory to have more expanded opportunities for travel (Lie 1). Actually they bought a travel company to sell you hotel rooms or rental cars. So Wyndham stated their stock holders voted to have this new product (Lie 20). The stockholders are actually Wyndham employees to ensure that any votes go in the direction they want, not the owners who own a few thousand points. Then the sales agent then tells you that because they purchased the travel company, to pay for it, all the owner's maintenance fees are going up by 50%, unless of course if you purchase more points (points that have no value) than you are grandfathered in and your maintenance fee does not go up.

    I wonder why the sales presentation is never recorded but the signing of the contract is recorded. Is that so that Wyndham can denied that no such thing was said. Now if you complaint they referred you to the exit portal where they will be glad to take your tens of thousands of points and give you nothing in return except a piece of paper thanking you for making their upper management rich with your money and take those points and make them even more money again and again. I would love to book wyndham resorts all over the world and sit in their sales presentations and tell the true to each person in the room the real truth about Wyndham.

The second night we saw a roach scurrying by the bed. YIKES! Also, as I did a cleanliness check of the room, I found footprints on the bathroom floor along with hair (color black). Neither of us have black hair. I wiped up the hair, and the TP was black with dirt. The room did not look like the photo on their website. Beautiful lime green and teal colors. In reality, the curtains were puck green. Pillows on the bed were nice, but not what was shown. False advertising in my opinion. We went to the presentation and were promised a free cruise. Well, we shall see. NO ONE at the presentation (sales people) had any answers for us.

    I do have to say that the bed was comfy, and the white furniture was nice. Oh, and they don’t have maid service, but they charged us $36 and change. In my opinion, the gals didn’t clean the room before we arrived. The check-in was in one location and the resort was about one mile away, through private homes. NO ice machine that we could find, nor buffet breakfast. We were given coupons to other places instead. We had used our daughter's points, but we still had to pay $303, not including the house cleaning fee. Not sure if this is usual or not. We always thought of Wyndham as being a high class hotel.

This year, we received the "this is not a bill" letter and never received the actual bill. They charge you around $8-10 fee to send you a bill and never sent it. I realized it never came and paid it in March, come to find out that they had already turned us over to collections!!! We received over $200 in fees for a bill that was paid less than 2 months late. When I attempted to settle this with them, they blamed us and said that we "opted" for paper billing rather than automatic withdrawal.

    The gentleman that I spoke with stated that he was recording this issue as they had received a lot of similar complaints. He offered to give us a refund of one late fee of $15. Here's the question...If the late fee is $15, why weren't we charged $30 in late fees? Why didn't we receive a notice that the January payment had been missed with a warning it would go to collections? Why is Wyndham doing this to multiple owners and getting away with this? Total Scam. Save yourself a lot of headache and grief and just pay for Airbnb, the cost of the actual timeshare plus the annual fees and added fees cost more than if you just paid for a vacation.

    I am a member of Wyndham hotel and resorts. I rented a hotel for April 16th to April 17th and I was told there was no security deposit. There was actually $100 security deposit. I must have asked five times to make sure I have used other third-party apps and shown up to a hotel and found I had to pay anywhere from 50 to $175 security deposit for one room for a night. Doesn't matter if your room is on a card in cash $70 or $200, there are always different rules for different hotels. After being reassured there was no security deposit I then paid for a room. It cost me about $79 plus tax and fees.

    I was at work until about 2:00 a.m. with my fiance. We got a room with a king bed suite with a sofa. We left work at 2:00 in the morning. We got to the hotel at 2:30, come to find out $100 security deposit. Next, we find out it is a terribly rundown nasty hotel, drug addicts, partiers. When we pulled up, someone was being or trying to be revived by paramedics for what looked like an apparent overdose. Five cop cars and ambulance, fire truck, the whole shebang. The guy was nice enough to let us pay 70$ security deposit, just asked us not to smoke in the room.

    My fiance went up to the first room and found out that there were two twin beds, not like I said. I paid for a king-bed suite. I myself am 39. I will be 40 April 18th and I have several health problems, one being lupus, the other being rheumatoid arthritis which I have terrible in my hands, my arms, my feet, my legs, and my back. Yeah, I know pretty much everything right, it's extremely bad and my hands, my back and my hips. I also have hip dysplasia and degenerative disc so sometimes in the morning I need help with the stupidest things standing up and being able to brace myself pulling my pants up or down to go to the bathroom.

    Needless to say it's a lot more convenient when my fiance can sleep in the same bed as me. I immediately called customer service. The first time the guy had no idea what to do when I was complaining so he said he was getting me a number for customer relations. This is at like 3 3:15 in the morning. The phone number was till motel 8. Needless to say, I called customer service back for a second time. They had no idea what to do and put me on hold. A half-hour later I have to waiting I called for a third time where I was told that I only rented a two-bed twin room with and that was what my reservation was. There was no changing it. There was no refunds, there was nothing they were going to do. What they didn't know is since we're in hotels so much because we've been in them since December looking for an apartment, we know better.

    I take screenshots right after I pay for the hotel. I catch the time how much I paid, that way if there's a flexible rate whatever the case may be. Anyway I take photos, I do what I do, I said, "Nice, try changing my reservation." The original reservation was not only emailed to me but I took a screenshot. He didn't know what to do, he put me on the everlasting hold then hung up on me. So I went back into the office and the gentleman clerk kindly changed our room back to a king bed. By this time it's 5:22 in the morning and once again I sent my fiance up for me because I sat in the car with a horrified look on my face and didn't want to get out.

    He sent me a photo of the room and there was a piece of wood paneling on the wall covered with what looked like blood stains and cigarette burns. I quickly sent a message back saying, "Oh so you can't smoke but you can shoot up. lol" He said, "No those are cigarette burns as well." I said, "Oh that must be a two-part special. I wonder if they charge extra for that." He found out quickly it was clean 7t.ead stuck in the wood, we checked the bed. Yes, we have caught bed bugs Waterford NY hotel, do not go there.

    We then stayed the actual room a 2hole 5 hours was pretty nice. The TV was a little as a small but the room was actually decent size. The couch was good. Other than the stained wood and I mean it was in the grain, it's not like if they scrubbed it till they were purple. It was going to come out, they would have had to have sanded it out so the rest of it was clean. It was decent. It wasn't what the first one was which looked like something from a '90s horror movie but in the morning they were complete **.

    They were banging on the door before 11:00 bringing the phone off the hook, meanwhile we were looking up just to stay another night because that allows us to sleep until about 3:30 before we have to go to work but they were insane, like he called the front desk. My boyfriend's like, "Less than well you know, we'll book another night, can you just stop with all the banging on doors of it." "Well the room that you're in is under construction so you have you're going to have to change rooms." Even if you say at that point my fiance had enough. We packed everything up.

    We went to work and just a few hours ago I tried calling customer service and I spent several hours on the phone with a bunch of ** holds 45 minutes here 30 minutes there, "Oh I'm sorry for your convenience, oh let me fix it. Oh, I'm going to do this. Oh, I'm going to do that." Hang up, hang up. "Oh are you sure, this happened, Oh do you have screenshots, Oh do you have emails, Can I have this number, can I have that number, What time did this happen, Who did you speak with? Where were you, who is this, who was it." Nothing but a runaround. Finally, a guy acted as if he gave a **, acted as if he was human, turns around, puts me on hold till 10:59 where I call back and a computer-generated message tells me customer service closes at 11:00 and they open back at 11:00 a.m. so I can start at this all over again.

    So when it comes to Wyndham, do not rely on anybody there to tell you if it's a nice hotel, If there's security deposits, flexible rates, don't even bother with them. It's a goddamn scam. They sure you check your hotel rates on your own, search the hotel name, search it as it is with the address, a lot of third parties will come up. Make sure that you take screenshots of all the different prices because the more that you look it up I found the more that cookies will up the prices on you. I don't know how all that ** works. The technical **.

    I'm about to be 40 years old. I don't live on the phone. I'm not a tech geek. I don't know. I just know it happens. But in short, Wyndham is terrible. Booking is awful. Stay away from booking but it's just ridiculous. They want your money. You get this, you get that and then if something goes wrong you're completely **. They don't care if it's 3:00 in the morning and you're in the middle of the worst neighborhood possible in upstate New York so I'm in tears. I'm tired. I'm short on cash. Thanks to this horrid ** company. It will be 7 to 10 business days til we see the 70 back and my bday we will sleep in the small ** over-packed Jetta. Thanks, Wyndham.

    Wyndham vacation club is somewhat a pyramid/ponzi scheme that need new suckers (like myself) every day to keep buying into their timeshare scheme to keep the scam going for the older/more well-established members like myself. Their maintenance fees (high in the industry standard) are raised by about 5% annually, while their properties are rarely updated or upgraded. It's very difficult (but not impossible) to book prime locations for prime dates. It is usually reserved for higher membership level members or members that can book further out or earlier.

    I would tell you not to buy into this sub-par timeshare company, but then I would just be shooting myself in the foot. In order for me to continue to enjoy my membership, more suckers will have to contribute into this ponzi scheme. Once people stop buying into this scam, Wyndham would go under immediately and I will be ** with my membership. This is why they pay extremely high commissions to their salespeople and focus most of their emphasis on marketing and sales...not member satisfaction.

    Once you sign the contract and Wyndham's got your money...that's the same time customer service ends. Please sign up with Wyndham so I can continue to enjoy my mediocre timeshare with mediocre benefits at a premium price! You can obtain Wyndham timeshares for literally free from timeshare exit companies. Most Wyndham owners are giving it away for free. The only catch is paying the high monthly maintenance fees and being only able to book places during off-peak seasons. Other than that...please, please, please...keep this ponzi going!

First point, they say that they have hundreds of properties around the world. FALSE. They have a few properties in minor cities and it's hard to find availability. They buy cheap land in the middle of nowhere and build their scam centers.

    Second, they won't give you your key until you agree to sit in on another meeting and then they make you give them your credit card so that they take a $50 "deposit" that they won't refund you unless you show up at their meeting. And at the meeting, they threaten you and scare you and talk for HOURS Even though they claim it'll only be for one hour. This already makes them liars. Third, lack of transparency. During these meetings, they draw these weird little diagrams on pieces of paper to pretend to explain things. If you try to take a picture of it, they say you're not allowed to. Why would you not allowed to take a picture of something you'll spend tens of thousands of dollars on? Fourth, they don't allow pets on any of their properties. Fifth, they prey on your lack of knowledge. They thrive on your confusion. They want you to be confused. That makes you better prey. Easier to con.

    Sixth, their hotels are old. They don't update their linens, and you can tell the bed sheets are 20 years old. They don't try because they know that people will go to their properties because you have to use your points. Seventh, there is no availability for the good hotels on good dates. Eighth, it's crazy how these people can look you dead in the eye, smile, and steal your money. How can they sleep at night. There is so much more. But at the end of the day, Wyndham is a scam. Please do yourself a favor and SAY NO TO WYNDHAM.

    Worst experience of my life entering into a relationship with Wyndham as an owner. Save yourself and don't do it. They only care about your money for the ownership and after that you are nothing to them and they constantly play games with billing and charges. We paid our ownership off and didn't finance it, big mistake too as we could have gotten out of the payments had we not paid it off. Looking into finding a law firm to pursue entering a class-action against them if I can find one. Horrible, horrible company. They also preyed on my military status in the sale... They are a trash company.

    We are Wyndham owners. We have a paid off vip membership with over 60k plyineshare price paid off. Our maintenance is on autopay, but for some reason they didn’t charge for our October payment. Without any notice they placed us in collections and now, March we still weren’t able to get an answer from the collections agency. We are unable to pay the $100+ missing payment, as they sent it to collections…. In the meantime we are naturally unable to make any bookings. I am on hold with them 20+ minutes every single time I try to resolve this just to get the same answer. No way to pay, no one to return our call, no one to complain to.

    We’ve purchased our first timeshare w she’ll, 10 years ago, ever since then, there’s always some restructuring, something more we need to purchase and buy to be able to get the best bookings, mergers, Inter-agency Sales. It is all one big scam, but we had no way out, so we kept paying and being ok with one vacation a year in a mediocre (usually outdated) hotel, because the suite sizes are large and suitable for large Family travel. But this now, by the time it gets resolved all the availability will be gone. A total waste of our time and money.

As you know, online signature is easy as it takes you to the signature page. After I signed, I printed it out about a month later, and buried deep into the contract was a phrase that said if I had paid off the contract within the first 20+ days, I would have saved over $3000.

When my friend showed her the numbers we came up with, based on numbers THEY provided Rosie became visibly angry and told my friend to let me talk. Rosie was rude and unprofessional. During the presentation I was asked for my social security number and my mother's maiden name, to do a credit check.

When I called the credit card company I found it was affiliated with Wyndham. They had the audacity to open a credit card without my approval. I attempted to call Wyndham no one was available. I called a supervisor who reported she was not involved with the resort sales. She advised me to call the original number and ask for a sales manager. I called that number and had to leave a message.

    We arrived at The Island, in Pigeon Forge around 10:30am on December 31. My husband saw a stand and wandered over to see what it was about. They convinced him into signing up for one of the tours, which began at 11am, and offered a $50 gift card for attending, along with a 5 night stay at a Wyndham resort. We attend and give the benefit of the doubt. We started off in a room, with everyone else, and a "manager" comes out and shares his story and some background information about Wyndham and blah, blah, blah.

    We then go into another room, with a group of others, and we sit with our own personal sales rep (what a joke). She did her part and gave her spiel and toured us through the Margaritavilla resort and blah, blah, blah. She even informed us there were things she couldn't share with us because she was being recorded. Probably should have been sign #1. However, I did ask, while we touring the rooms what the cancellation policy was, if we actually decided to go through with it. She told us THIRTY DAYS! (LIES!!!!) Must've been one of those she couldn't share while being recorded.

    She promised us all these vacations we could take with all these points Wyndham was "giving" us. She showed us the huge book of resorts and all the places we could go with all the points Wyndham was "giving" us. She threw out how this would be a vacation home and we could go wherever, and whenever. We could even will this down to our children who would never have to worry about travel money and a whole lotta blah, blah, blah. We are then bombarded by two other sales reps/managers who share their personal travel stories (even though they probably own nothing by Wyndham and have probably never traveled with Wyndham). Nonetheless, they share their sales tactics and we move along.

    After a lot of discussion, we hesitantly agree to sign on. We had been there well OVER the 2 hours we were told it would take. We were starving and exhausted and ready to get the hell out of there. I'm sure that's a huge tactic Wyndham uses (let's keep buyers there for hours so they'll eventually get frustrated enough to just give in).

    Then, IT happened...the financial part of it. We were asked to put down a very large amount as a deposit. I definitely didn't feel comfortable with this, so one of the reps came over and convinced us to use it for our business and write it off. She fed us a line of ** all right - "You can use as a Christmas bonus for an employee and send them on a trip." "You can use it to bring customers into your business and do a drawing for a week's vacation". - Although none of that would work for us, we do own a very small business, and thought it may (very sporadically), come in handy for business.

    I still wasn't sold on paying all of that large deposit from our personal finances, so once again, she suggested we apply for the Wyndham Visa business rewards card. I inquired about it, and she said we could put the deposit on the credit card, while also earning reward points. We ok'd that, so Haley called Barclays on our behalf (how thoughtful of her). We NEVER spoke to the credit card, except on the one occasion where I had to verify that I was who she was calling about. Haley handled the rest, which I was unware of, as I don't feel sales reps should be speaking on our financial half.

    After at least a full hour, if not close to two hours, Haley comes back and says "Congratulations, you've been approved for $$$". Again, very uncomfortable that someone we do not know has gotten us approved for something we weren't 100% a-go with, since we didn't know the details and terms of the card. It's also unfitting that she knows our financial status and how much we were approved for. Then, Haley proceeds to tell us that since it's New Year's Eve, Barclays was having trouble processing our application. "But, not to worry", Haley says, " We can put the deposit on a personal credit card, and in 7-10 business days, when your business card comes in the mail, you can just call Barclays and have them transfer the deposit to the business card. That way you can take it off your personal card and still receive rewards for this transfer to your business card."

    I was VERY UNCOMFORTABLE with this situation, but I felt highly pressured, so we reluctantly gave in. We'll say we're in HOUR 5, by now on New Year's Eve. We hadn't had lunch, had sat through hours of relentless sales conversations, and were now waiting on a private room so the finance person could go over our purchase.

    We finally get in a room, only for her to say, "Hey, I know y'all have been here all day, and it's New Year's. I've got plans, so we're going to rush through this as quickly as possible so we can all get out of here." She speeds through this process and talks like one of those award-winning speed talkers. We have no clue what she's going over or saying, as we're exhausted, starving, and just fed up. She finishes up, hands us a bag with the book of resorts, and sends us on our "merry" way.

    We finally got to leave at 6pm, our entire day wasted, and we felt buyer's remorse as soon as we walked out. We went to grab a bite to eat, in hopes that would make us feel better, but we still had a feeling of uneasiness. Within a day I was calling, texting, and emailing her. It took her a while to get back and she sales-repped us, and told us what we wanted to hear, and we gave her the benefit of the doubt.

    Let's fast forward 7-10 business days and no business card. We did each receive a letter. My husband's letter informed him that he had been denied for this card. He NEVER spoke to the credit card company while at the timeshare resort, so I'm not even sure why he received a letter. My letter informed me that in order to process my application, they needed some more information and gave me a number to call. I then call this number only to discover they have NO INFORMATION on me!! I called Barclays several more times and they had NOTHING each and every time I called. They had nothing on me and they had nothing on my husband.

    So here's where one of many parts of this scam come into play. Who was the Wyndham sales rep talking to that day, sharing our personal information with, that she didn't share with us until she passed the phone to me to confirm I was indeed who she said I was, and then abruptly took the phone back to carry on with the conversation about our finances???!!! To this day, Barclays still has no information on myself or my husband, but yet a credit check was completed on us on December 31.

    Here's another lie we were told. We informed our initial sales rep that we had three vacations planned for 2023. She of course says, "Great, you guys can cancel those and rebook with your timeshare". We thought that sounded great, until we actually called these booking numbers and we can't actually book anything because we were lied to about the number of points it actually takes to book a vacation. We were told all these places we could go; and how many points it would cost; and we could go here, there, everywhere for this amount of points...LIES!!!

    So after finally realizing how many lies we were actually told, we decided to take advantage of our 30 day cancellation policy and cancel. SCAM #3!! Upon calling Wyndham, multiples times, and being on hold multiple hours, we were informed we actually had 10 days to cancel. That was NEVER told to or relayed to us in any form or fashion. What was told to us was 30 days! Obviously we aren't timeshare aficionados and didn't know that was a lie to begin with. Since we didn't leave with any paperwork that day, we had nothing to go off of, except the word of the sales rep.

    I have attempted to contact the sales rep, multiple times, asking for specific information. I have contacted the talks-too-fast finance lady. We have received no correspondences. I have requested certain information, from both, and we have received nothing. I have spoken with various Wyndham reps, in multiple departments, and no success. Instead of providing true customer service, I just kept experiencing continued disgust and disappointment. Wyndham has been absolutely unhelpful, inconsiderate, and could obviously care less about those they continue to screw over. I am a small business owner, with a family to take care of, and now I have a large fee sitting on my personal credit card.

    I understand Wyndham makes their billions of dollars screwing people, like me, over on a daily basis. The misleading, the misconceptions, the pressure, the lies, and the overall scamming are nothing short of pathetic and sad. Pure taking advantage at its finest. We have gone down several roads and exhausted many efforts in getting out of this timeshare.

Apparently there was a "glitch" in the system and my full maintenance fee of $218.00 was not deducted for September 2022. Only a partial payment was deducted. I saw this but honestly assumed I was overcharged at some point and they were correcting their error. Wrong!!! I received a letter from their collections department stating I was behind on my maintenance fees and threatening to report me to collections and cancel any reservations I have booked going forward. This was not my error or my bank's error. This was totally Wyndham's fault. I paid the difference over the phone today and tried to get a confirmation in writing stating that this was not my error and they "can't do that".

    In addition, I am recently widowed and have been trying to get in touch with the Wyndham Cares department for months to find out what my options are for transferring my ownership to my adult daughters, and they will not return my calls or respond to requests I have put in on their website through the "contact us" form.

    Updated on 03/04/2023: Third quarter of 2022 Club Wyndham migrated to a new payment collection software package. The implementation was so bad owner auto-pay information and prior months payments for maintenance fees was lost. Immediately club Wyndham started making collection calls to owners for maintenance fees that were either already paid or Club Wyndham had not billed for. Instead of admitting their mistake and working with owners to resolve their issues, Club Wyndham froze owner's accounts and started a collection process.

    I personally furnished bank statements as they requested on two occasions which proved my bank account had been drafted. But that was not good enough. Then they wanted me to prove they had received the money from Barclays who manages their Wyndham Rewards Visa Card. I am now working with Barclays requesting proof my payments were sent to Wyndham. Never purchase anything from Wyndham!

    Original review: Wyndham Vacation Resorts recently converted to new financial software which tracked the collection of maintenance fees. In the conversion process they lost autopay and payment history. I started receiving collection calls from Wyndham in October stating that I owed 3 months of unpaid maintenance fees which were actually paid. I was given an email address to send proof of payment. I received a response that the department I sent the information to was not handling that issue. I sent a complaint to management and was given a different email address. I forwarded the proof of payment to that address and have heard nothing from them. The collection calls continue weekly in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Act.

I’ve tried to use it and I have to pay a $219 transfer fee if I want to use it somewhere than the home location. They didn’t say anything about that during my presentation. And every time I try to use it somewhere it doesn’t seem like I can get into the places I want. What a joke! Please contact me at ** or **.

    We swapped into a Wyndham resort in Myrtle Beach, a huge resort with extremely nice accommodations. The problem was the mandatory visit to the Club Wyndham desk to obtain our RFID room key. We initially resisted the hard sell for the time-share pitch but made the mistake of relenting in the face of the offer of a free 7-night vacation, shows, golf rounds and meals. After enduring the hard pitch for 2 hours including a visit by the "closer" with an offer of a 45% discount we thought we would get a couple of rounds of golf, well technically yes - we got a round of golf for two. This meant no meals and the shows were $40 per person so we passed.

    The offer for the Free Week turns out to be more or less fraudulent and certainly very misleading. It is provided by Gocrv as a supposedly "Wyndham Rewards Points 7night 8 day Resort Condos" but is actually, at least in the case of Hilton Head, a Super8 motel at a cost of $199 for taxes and fees with options to "upgrade" for more costs. You give them your dates, pay, then try to reach an agent who will tell you what might be available. They mentioned something about claiming credit refunds in the fine print and I got suspicious. Fortunately, I read the reviews of Club Wyndham and Gocrv before I sent money so our 2 hour waste of time got us 1 round of golf. Unfortunately, they do have our phone numbers (they insist on a home number) and email address so I am anticipating spam calls and emails for years to come. This really cheapens the Wyndham brand.

    On October 16, 2022, I attended an owner’s presentation supposedly to learn of new updates with their network and potential “perks” of being an owner of sorts. The entire presentation was disguised as an opportunity to share new things that Wyndham is doing and to update my PII. During the long hard sales pitch I was asked to sign a blank screen on the salesperson’s reader as I was advised on the previous screen that my personal information was being updated. Again, the second screen was blank, but little did I know that the salesperson was actually hiding the screen as that blank screen somehow morphed into me giving authorization for the individual to run a credit inquiry.

    What I find perplexing as well as maddening is that I distinctly told the salesperson twice that I was not authorizing a credit inquiry. He advised that he was simply updating my information; however two days later when I returned home, I was I informed that a credit report was run and in fact, I was contacted by a mortgage company under the pretext that I was seeking a mortgage. I contacted Wyndham directly to contest the fraud committed by its employee, but I was informed that I had provided an authorization.

    I am sharing this information as I want the public to be aware of the scams perpetrated by this company and so I advise anyone considering attending an owner’s presentation to be very vigilant doing the hard sale and not to sign anything unless you are in full agreement with the sales pitch. Remember, authorizing a credit report is not a prerequisite to attempting an owner’s update and/or receiving gift card for the grueling presentation.

Just don’t need something like this when we will not be vacationing many more years. He was a mean, rude, ugly man and told us we are what they don’t like, coming in to get freebies. We’d have rather paid for our tickets 10 times than go through that! Not only did we not feed their starving families “shame on Wyndham for starving their employees” we will never pay our money to stay in a Wyndham hotel, resort, cabin or campground! Just don’t do it!

    Updated on 11/10/2022: I've just checked my Wyndham credit card account and they have now taken out another credit card in my name which I never applied for. It says that I requested it on 11/9/22 but I never called on that day. The last time I called them was on 11/6/22 to follow up on my dispute for the $323.84. These people are scammers/fraud and I need someone to do something about this. There is no way that this can be legal.

    Original Review: I have tried to cancel this Timeshare several times starting on 9/14 through the sales agent Joseph ** and each time he kept telling me that I can get Financing through my bank for a lower interest rate. He said that another customer with a lower credit score than mine was able to get an interest rate of 7%. Another agent/ manager was also there at the time when I told him that I could not afford this interest rate and monthly payment but he kept on insisting that I would get a better rate elsewhere. On several occasions starting on 9/13 I went to the office to try and cancel but I was always pressured/ lied to/ deceived into keeping it. Mr ** also told me that with this new VIP status I would be getting many more benefits such as VACASA which I could use in Jamaica and that turned out to be a lie as well.

    He also deceived me by saying that my new payments would work out to be the same as my old payment but with more benefits. He said that someone would call me to go over my benefits as a VIP member but no one has since. After contacting Mr ** on many occasions through phone call and text messages about my concern with this updated Timeshare and my inability to get a lower interest rate, he then told me to take out an equity loan. I called my mortgage company and they advised me that if I did in fact get an equity loan that my mortgage interest would be raised and I would have to pay a closing cost. I decided not to do that, to not put myself into debt. At this point I tried reaching out to Mr ** again to tell him what was going on and my concerns but he stopped taking my calls or responding to my messages. I had to call him on his work phone and after several failed attempts in reaching him, I finally was able to speak to him.

    This was when he told me that he was sorry but he could no longer do anything to help me because my 10 day grace period had expired. I have tried calling Wyndham on several occasions but was unable to reach anyone and when I did they would just transfer me or put me on hold for up to an hour or more. I called and left a voicemail for Byron **, the agent that did the closing when I couldn't reach anyone and I have not gotten any response from him also. Wyndham is now charging me twice for 1 Timeshare. They charged me $323.84 and $199.76 on my Wyndham credit card. They refunded the $199.76. They also charged me $572.25 on my CapitalOne credit card, which I disputed and has gotten a provisional credit while the investigation is still pending.

    I checked into the motel approximately midnight, October 6, 2022, after a 10 hour drive from Oregon. There was no parking near my room, which was on the second floor. Pulling a suitcase and carrying some things to the room, I tripped in a hole, smashing my face into the concrete, hitting both knees, cutting one of them, and hurting my hand and arm. My lip and nose were bleeding, and my lip immediately became swollen. Initially I was afraid I broke my front teeth due to the pain.

    When I walked into the lobby to report it to "Lloyd" the clerk, he could have cared less. He said, "well, sorry it happened. Do you want a bandaid?" Incredulous, I asked him if he had a way to make an ice pack and his cavalier response was, "no, no ice packs". There was not one iota of concern that as a woman traveling alone, I was now injured and in a strange city. No offer to do anything to help! Shaken, in pain and bleeding, I was left to go back out and drag my belongings upstairs, with no help and no idea where to go for it.

    This place was recommended by a local, who was thinking of the close proximity to the airport and had no idea what a dump it is. Had I known it was so dirty, unaccommodating and filled with safety hazards, I would NEVER have made a reservation there. I took pictures of the hazards that caused me to trip and the filth in the room. I even picked up something off the floor and it was an old TOOTH!! At least I was able to get them to move me to the first floor the next day by filing a complaint with the third party through whom I had reserved and paid for the room. This place was such a dump! I felt as if I was in the middle of a brothel surrounded by drug dealers. Unless you fall into this category, I suggest you find another place to stay.

    Club Wyndham Tower on the Grove in Myrtle Beach, SC. The sales department refused to return my driver's license until I got the front desk manager and hotel security involved! The sales associate told me he was recruited by a friend to work at this property and he couldn't return to his country, Egypt, for his father's funeral because he wouldn't be allowed back in the United States. He told me this after they had taken my license. What kind of scam is Wyndham operating?! I don't know but I do know; They opened a line of credit in my name as well as a mortgage for a timeshare I DID NOT BUY! I am a savvy traveler and a timeshare owner for over 25 years. If they could do this to me they will do it to anyone!!!

    You are not safe nor is your personal data or identity if you stay at Wyndham! Have had no help from anyone at Wyndham for one year! This was NO VACATION!! I booked an extra week at a different hotel to sort out this DISASTER. I wasted my vacation time, money, and energy. Interesting, while at this second hotel, I met another woman who also said Wyndham Tower on the Grove, the year before, would not return her license and she too felt blackmailed in order to get it back! We exchanged contact information should we find ourselves in a class action lawsuit when more people start to come forward.

    I met with the General Manager, Curtiss ** who assured me he would help, NOPE!! I filed a police report and an FTC report. In the past year no one has assisted me, even though they all assure me they will. And it is impossible to contact the CEO, CFO, Human resource director, etc. The GM, Curtiss ** was transferred to Atlanta, the new GM Helen something?, told me there was nothing she could do and passed me off, Jennifer ** from customer/owner service who did absolutely nothing and passed me off to Matthew **, supervisor who said he was happy to resolve this and would have it done in 2 weeks, that was July. Worthless.

    I thought Wyndham was a reputable business, I learned it is the opposite. I wasted my money, time and energy dealing with Wyndham and their incompetent and uncaring employees. Plus, over the past year have been constantly stressed over identity theft and finding my info on the dark web! This surely was the "vacation" that keeps on giving. I am sick over this.

    I have been a shareholder at Wyndham Vacation resort for over 30 years, and have found that nothing they tell you at time of the sell is true. The company needs to let the buyer know up front what you’re buying. They tell you, you can trade your points for a rental car,airline tickets, but they don’t tell you have to book it 60 days ahead of time. They don’t tell you you will be charged twice the money that is charged online plus a service fee of &25.00. As for the car the representative offered to hold the car as a courtesy and you pay after picking up the car well I got new one for them, ALL rental car services hold your credit card and charge when the car is turned in.Wyndham Is not doing its customers any favors.

She took my credit card information over the phone and placed the reservation for me and that she was going to send me some paperwork for authorization. 30 minutes after I didn't receive the paperwork I called the second hotel to make sure everything was okay and they didn't find me in their system. We got the reservation and my daughter got to the hotel about 2 hours later and when they tried to charge my card for the room it was declined because someone, "Vanessa," took my credit card number and ordered "Union Service Supply" (meal plans for inmates) and straight talk airtime from Florida.

    I canceled everything, contacted my bank, contacted the police, and then contacted Wyndham Customer Care to let them know they have somebody taking people's credit card numbers in their call center. After finally getting a hold of customer care, about an hour and a half, I explained the situation to the lady and there was a language barrier that took about 20 minutes for her to understand my credit card # was stolen from a Wyndham employee and it wasn't Wyndham having charged me twice.

    The hotel, staff and rooms were great. The downfall is the marketing. There is another section of employees that are on the marketing side, they will offer you free gifts (patrons do not get offered the same things) to get you to attend a “tour”. It’s not a tour, they try to sell you a timeshare. They will bug you and bug you until you do it. Then they charge you $40 to “pull your prizes from storage”, if you do not attend they keep your money. If you do attend they refund at the end of the sales pitch. They even go as far as to call you multiple times to remind you to go. They offer you breakfast, coffee l, etc…then they put you on a shuttle and send you off site. They promise you a time frame and do not deliver, no one that took the shuttle with us made it to the return shuttle on time, my wife and I walked back and the others waited for god knows how long to get back to the hotel. There was no coffee, the breakfast was horrible and cold.

    They split up the couples to separate “sales people”, Pablo was ours. He lies, scams and tries any and everything to make his sale, when he realizes you aren’t going to buy, he becomes rude and condescending. He refused to show us prices any time we asked and tried redirecting us by showing pictures of his family and telling us about his life (he raped our ears, be careful of this), then when we were ready to walk out without our gifts, he got his supervisor to “make sure he did everything right”, ya, that’s a lie too. They just tried to keep the pitch going. They didn’t want us to leave. We finally got our gifts and left. After returning to the hotel we found they had the building next to us for “tours” also. Upon asking I was told that it was for “already owners”, Pablo told us that “he usually only deals with people that are already owners”.

    Sorry which is it? I can only derive that they take you off site and bring members from the other hotel to the one by this hotel so you feel like you are stuck until the shuttle gets you. That way you are less likely to leave. They also had them all over the river walk and in the mall trying to get you. They were like cockroaches. I think I would rather spend a year in a Mexican prison than do that again. That is almost 2 hours of my life I will never get back. My wife and I are so disgusted with the marketing crew and sales crew. That even though the hotel, crew and room were really nice and good. I do not believe we will ever stay with Wyndham again.

    In 2019, I attended a local county fair in Arlington, VA. A nondescript table at the fair presenting itself as a travel group was soliciting passersby to sign up for a free ticket giveaway. They indicated that the "winner" would receive two free airline tickets to their destination of choice in the US. So, I signed up. A couple days later, I received a telephone call stating that I had won the ticket draw and I should go to (address) at 6 PM to collect my prize. Upon entering the hotel, I met a number of other people who "won," and we were subsequently escorted into a presentation room. It was there that they revealed themselves to be Club Wyndham, and that we need only sit through their 90 minute presentation before collecting our prizes at the end.

    Ninety minutes later, they opened the doors and sales agents approached each of us. The agents took us to individual cubicles and proceeded to pressure us into buying membership in Club Wyndham. This was repeatedly billed as an "investment." They indicated properties all over the US and the world (through their partner RCI) would be easily available for our personal use if we wished, but also could be used for profit. They promised they would buy back the contract at any time if I wasn't satisfied. And they stated that I could easily use my points to rent out rooms to other people if I couldn't utilize my points. (Of course, all of their promises were false as I have since discovered -- but continuing).

    They utilized every manipulative and vile trick in the book to make the sale and keep it. Some of these tactics included: wearing us down over *4* hours by entering and exiting the room for extended periods; providing neither light snacks nor water; asking us not to use our phones (!!); moving us between multiple sales agents, each promising "better deals;" and discouraging us from leaving to consult with loved ones. Unfortunately, I caved and purchased the timeshare. After being rushed through the contract signing at approximately 10 PM, and being told to "read the details later if you need to," I was also told to "try accessing the site for membership information in 7-10 days." Why? Because this would obviously allow the rescission period to expire (of which they never mentioned and I had no information).

    Regardless, I attempted to make the best of the timeshare, which ultimately failed. Multiple times. Even accounting for the pandemic, essentially nothing they promised was available for the point sum I had purchased. I was called, without exaggeration, between 3-5 times per week as they attempted to sell me "upgrades" and when I refused, I was treated quite poorly. The most recent attempt at utilizing the timeshare in Florida in February yielded "sorry, nothing available" after a 45-minute hold on the phone. I have recently dialed four different numbers in my attempt to discuss the timeshare with Wyndham. The timeshare exit/"Wyndham Cares" numbers are either dead or result in an infinite hold. Just to test it, I let my phone go for 75 minutes before a customer service representative answered and immediately disconnected me.

    In short, do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, do business with Wyndham. Do not attend timeshare presentations. Do not attend "investor" presentations. Do not attending "owner meetings." These are all nefarious endeavors meant to defraud you. A simple internet search for Wyndham Timeshare will show you the absolute misery they have caused throughout the US, Australia, and other countries they are allowed to operate in.

My husband and I bought Wyndham Timeshare over 20 years ago. We always enjoyed it and loved the company and the vacations. Slowly they started telling us we needed to add different things to our account to make it better. We were told if we bought Club Access it would grandfather us in as gold members. Then we were told if we didn't add another property we would lose our gold status. Unfortunately, we fell for their scam again and again and bought more timeshares. In the beginning, they told us how you could upgrade and taught us how to do all of it just to take it away from everyone. Recently they told us if we didn't buy another $30,000 worth we would lose our gold status. We just logged in and found out we are now VIP silver.

    At one of the presentations, the lady got so mad because we refused to buy anything. She yelled at me and said, "You're not tied to that chair. You can leave anytime." I told her she was right and got up and left. Another time I took my BFF and they harassed her to death trying to get her to buy. Her husband had just passed away and they were like vultures. They kept on and I finally said, "We need to go." They kept talking and refusing to give her the gift promised for going to the presentation until I stood and started screaming, "Quit harassing her. We want to get out of here now." Because I made such a scene we got out of there after 3 hours of torture. The rooms and resorts are nice but they will continue to make you buy more and more.

I was invited to attend a presentation and was given a gift for attending the presentation with Worldmark/Wyndham in May 2009. With Wyndham, I wanted to find places I could go without it costing me an arm and a leg. When I travel, the sales reps always hit me up about attending a meeting that ended up just being another sales meeting. I upgraded in December 2013, November 2015, and January 2017.

    When the pandemic hit and everything was shut down or on hold, we were still required to pay our maintenance fees and loan payments and were given no break from the resort. I call but could not find anyone to talk to during this time. The only time they would call is to see if you want to upgrade. I feel that my entire life will be paying for this timeshare and that no matter how close I get to paying if off. Wyndham will have some reason for me to upgrade. I have had the reps tell me that my plan is no longer of value and I needed to upgrade to be able to vacation. I am drowning in debt because of the pressure to buy by the sales reps. I am having to work 2 or 3 jobs to pay bills. The sales rep had me believing I would own this timeshare when I had it paid for. There is no such thing. I have tried to talk to them about canceling the timeshare but no one wants to help. During this entire process from purchasing up to date. I feel like I have been taken advantage of.

I waited and called 2 weeks prior to the reservation date. The resort hood been closed for 5 months for renovation and was expected to be closed until the end of the year.

    Could no one have let me know? We already requested vacation and had no time to make new plans. The presentation itself was just like everyone says. High pressure and borderline aggressive.

    I missed my flight due to airline delays (see my Frontier Airlines review). It was not my fault. I booked this hotel through Hotels.com. The Hotels.com staff was great, and helped me to cancel the hotel reservation. The one issue is that the hotel manager had to approve the refund for the same day cancellation....well before arrival time happened. The staff at the hotel called me, and was very caring, but confirmed that the manager must approve any refund. The manager did not approve the waiving of the $136.66 charge, even though I was going to rebook my trip for the following week, and stay for a full week. Well, you got your $136.66, and lost $900 more... Choke on it! Too many other nice hotels in the area!... Buyer beware!

    My husband and I were introduced to Wyndham by a salesperson @ Broadway @ the beach (Myrtle). We had purchased tickets and at pickup we were offered a $150 gift card + $50 for dinner if we attended a 120m presentation regarding buying into timeshares with this company. We wanted to the gift cards and agreed to go. She warned us that they wanted to make a sale, but it was way more pressuring than I could’ve imagined. I had my 3 y/o with me and we were there for nearly 4 hours. Being badgered.

    The boss (redhead with a gold watch) was VERY rude, and condescending. Saying we were stupid for not buying. We agreed to do a “soft inquiry”, to see what the numbers would look like and wanted to “think” on the idea. Because they do make it sound VERY good. They were asking $50-$100k for a “peace of heaven”. Btw, it wasn’t a soft inquiry, it immediately showed up as a “hard inquiry” because they zoomed through the slides on their iPad and ran my credit for a Barclays Wyndham CC. I have bought houses, cars, and had several credit cards - but this was so pressuring. The salesperson, named Robert (dark hair, also a realtor in the area), said he would suggest the CC if we decided to go through with buying because of the awards but DID NOT make me aware that he was submitting an app for me.

    He was zooming through the slides and we were trying to also tend to our toddler, and I was immediately approved and didn’t realize until I had left and logged into my Barclays account (I have a card through them), and saw I was approved for $8k!!! I have read many reviews and it’s the same experience. They said they were doing a “preapproval” because they do in-house financing, and wanted to run my credit not apply me for a CC. Also, the salesman wouldn’t give me his name/contact info. I told him we wanted to think on it and get back to him, but he would’ve give a card or anything. But showed me his online rewards account and I caught his name from the top.

    His name is Robert (a realtor in the area as well). Very slimy, degrading experience. It is my own fault for typing in my SS #, but they don’t make you aware and don’t let you read. Thankfully we didn’t sign anything but I am worried they will run my credit for their in house stuff. I am very aggravated with the entire situation.

    Hi, My daughter & I went to Branson on 7/5/22 to pick up tickets to the amusement park. When picking up she offered me a 7 night stay at any Wyndham resort for $99 that had to be used in a year. I took that offer and she said I had to go to a 90 minute preview/class. I agreed. I was never told it would be a timeshare. They kept me & my daughter there for 4 hrs. I tried to back out before it even started & one of the salesmen said I couldn't or lose my $99. I was never told by the original person that this was about a timeshare. It felt like a hook and bait situation. I clearly said no, so they brought over another salesperson. I told them I was ready to leave & they brought over another salesman. I clearly said NO at least a 100 times. Then they told me I couldn't leave until I had an exit interview. I was so frustrated that we lost a half day of vacation.

    This was very deceiving from the beginning. I was almost in tears because I was so angry. Who are they to tell me I can't leave. I should of just lost my $99 and said lesson learned. On top of that they did a credit check on me and now it is on my credit report for 2 yrs. This was the most deceived I've ever felt. I lost memories with my daughter due to being here 1/2 the day. The salesman will NOT take no for an answer. I made it very clear in the beginning of the meetings, etc. that I was not interested & I only came so that I did not lose my $99. This is no way to do business & now I will NEVER stay at a Wyndham & will make sure I tell everyone the same that I know. And now they are saying I'm a Wyndham member and sent me a card. You can take this card & shove it.

    My husband and I decided to try out what was so called a “deal” in order to get some family savings for an attraction at Myrtle Beach. We agreed to pick up our “reward/tickets” at this preview center. We got there at 9am and saw this presentation and we thought it was going to be an hour or so that way we could take our 4&5 yr olds back to the beach before leaving town. Wrong! We left at 3pm! They color this “program/package/deal” for you and regardless if you say NO they make you stay and bring up more and more offers. Of course to close their sale. The folks are nice but very pushy and cannot take NO! Clearly their “commission breath” is Strong.

    At this point I was beyond fed up, my husband was annoyed and since we wanted to be polite we kept saying NO. The numbers don’t make sense, they want to say one thing but come out with another. My kids were beyond fed up and sleeping on our laps now. Then we still had to wait for an “exit interview” with this older man who clearly had no interest but had to do his job and was rude and still tried to make us buy a smaller amount of their timeshare program. Flat out said NO! And got my keys at this point you can’t even try to be nice. All morning WAISTED! Guys RUN!!! Don’t agree to going to this ** show please!!

    I received an email about a Wyndham Resorts offer, and I called for more information. I gave the representative the location and dates I wanted to stay and she informed me that there was availability. She offered to transfer me as soon as I purchased the package. She also said she would put notes in my account indicating I could book those dates. She transferred me and the reservation person told me I needed to book 90 days out. So I requested a refund. The offer is a scam in my opinion.

    My husband and I got Hoodwinked into going to a timeshare meeting while in Branson Missouri. They comped us a couple of free tickets to a show and two vacation nights at a Wyndham hotel. We had some time to kill so we went to the presentation knowing fully well we would not buy. They are very high pressured. They wanted to know our annual income. $0 because both of us are retired and not collecting any social security at this time. That was our only saving grace of getting out of there. The first salesperson was fine but then they put us with this other gentleman who was rude and condescending. The two free nights at a Wyndham club resort is limited to a handful of cities across the United States. The free nights are not at a club resort as we were led to believe but instead at a low budget hotel that they purchased.

    We were told that the presentation would only be a couple of hours. When it started going over that time limit we said something to the rude salesperson. And he said he didn't know we were on any time restrictions. I've been to timeshare presentations in the past, this one was by far the worst and misleading one I've ever been to. If I could give them a rating star of a zero I would.

    I only gave the rating a “poor” due to the fact it is actually on the beach which is the only thing going for this place. Here are the reasons why the rest of stay deserved a “terrible”. 1. Parking (valet) is VERY disorganized, and the valets give no direction as to what you are supposed to do when pulling into the front of the resort. Their responses are rude, and it was a bit disconcerting to leave the car with them – YOU ARE PAYING $25/NIGHT/CAR for this privilege of being disrespected as you enter the establishment. 80% of the staff interactions were met with indignant responses.

    2. The place is under construction and… THEY PUT YOU INTO THE ROOMS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. We arrived at our door with a typed note warning not to use the balcony, with another big red sign on the sliding doors NOT TO OPEN THEM. The bathroom didn’t have a catch on it for the door to close, the smoke alarm battery latch was hanging open, the front desk NEVER answered the phone, room service is nonexistent other than a pizza place, and the pool and beach access close at 8:30pm – forcing you to enter the beach from a public access located on the sides of the building.

    3. We went to order a drink at the Tiki Bar and the bartender was rude and inpatient with us – for reference here there was only my wife and another couple at the bar. Once she got our order she started complaining in Spanish as she made them. So, we $40 for two drinks and to be treated like we weren’t welcome there. 4. Needing to call the front desk for assistance we were met with continued ringing, and no one answered. Actually, had to leave room to request a few more bath towels and more toilet paper as they only left one roll in the bathroom. Then we only received one more roll. Considering this establishment calls itself a RESORT I expected a bit more for my buck. Stays are not cheap and when you add in cost for forced VALET, expensive add-ons, and no friendly customer service, I think you can find a better place to spend your hard-earned cash.

    Shame on you RAMADA for letting this happen in one of the most visited beaches in Florida. Pictures available on request! NOT RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE.

    On 1/29/2022 in Wyndham Myrtle Beach, Wyndham timeshare service sales lied to us, they have CEO changed and promoted a new program called “Travel UP”, Sale pursued us to buy a new program called “Travel UP”, he promised that this program have high discount, average get 75% - 80% off on cruise and the hotel booking 60%-70% off, air flight and car rent get at least 30% -40% off . We have been forced to stay at their office from morning 8:00am until 3:00PM, we were so hungry and they still keeping talking and not allow us to leave, We have no choice and signed this program, We thought we could test Travel Up program after I signed paperwork however we were told that we must wait for 45 days in order to get access, and the agreement we are forced to sign to only have 3 calendar days for canceling. We were stuck.

    We were stuck and no idea if this program works for us or not until 3/3/2022, we finally get access and then tried to use this program, but this "TraveUP" is a cheating program, we can’t get discount like sales promised, it only have 5%, maxim 10%, The price came out more expensive than the regular traveling agent website, such as “Hotwire.com”, "Travelocity" or Expedia etc. I can’t believe the facts how sales from Wyndham can cheat us. Wyndham sales cheated/lied to us, and Travel Up services they promised us during the sale did not match the service I received when using this program. In turn, which caused us to spend a lot of more money without usage of this program and the points they presented to us.

    Originally I paid this new contract in full using my credit card, so I reported this cheating sales to my credit card company, also opened the case with Wyndham ownership, Case # **, IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS, no any update so far, my credit card company advised me, they passed my complaint to Wyndham and asked them to provide the resolution, Credit card company hold my payment in order to get resolution from Wyndham however Wyndham never response to my credit card company, Wyndham turned around open a loan using my personal information and blocked my 400,500 available points, and I never missed my any maintenance fee, I didn’t own anything from Wyndham, all my previous contract paid in full.

    I don’t understand why it took so long time, Wyndham didn’t resolve my issues, and since my full payment hold by my credit card company, Wyndham opened a loan for me, their collection department every day called me to pay their money, and my case purposed hold WITHOUT any resolute, I called them every day, no one provide me update, they blocked my all account and don’t allow me to use my points and continue to charge me monthly maintenance fee. It is purposed doing this way? They can sell more points to other unknown customers using my points? Please get away Wyndham, this is the company with cheating sales.

    Well Let me start by saying I stayed with Wyndham before and accumulated points that amounted in either free nights or discounted rates. So however I was vacationing and called to retrieve my points and at that time was presented with another offer saying if I paid 100.00 dollars I'll receive an American Express card back with the same amount so I agreed but then later to find out I have to attend a timeshare seminar and that was never explained over the at all so just to let the rest of the world know do not trust any Wyndham representatives.

    In order to get potential customers to attend the two hour presentation, "gifts" are offered. We were offered the "GRAND PRIZE" of a 4 night stay at one of several impressive locations - with the clear implication this was at a Wyndham resort. It was not, it was through a dismal, worthless company called Grand Incentives and far from free. The other two "prizes" also proved to be pretty worthless. Beware of how this company works!

    I don't know how bad their vacation deal is but I would not trust them if their marketing technique is anything like their product. We were at Sea World and was approached by one of their market grabbers. "1 week vacation anywhere in the US for $100. Wait, I see you are retired military, completely free- just participate in a 2 hour presentation". We took the bait, took the tour and got our certificate. It is good for a grand total of 32 locations in the entire United States, and even those have limited dates available. Any other location or time requires an additional fee, ranging from $500 to $1000. And of course, no response to the email I sent them. Total nonsense. I would not trust them for anything.

    I just went on a "tour" to get the free points and free nights. BOY, what a pressured deal. You go from one "man" to the next, each one trying to be more intimidating than the next. I had no intention of buying anything and told them that when I arrived, it did not stop them from trying to get me for $100,000. Yes, you read that right.. Insanity! OK, I signed up for it. I did not sign up for man #2 Brian at the Branson office, insinuating I was stupid for not buying it, hateful for not listening to his spiel, and bitter because I have never had a good experience with travel clubs. He was red in the face and near shouting in my face, so much so man #1 back off, and I am sure he was shocked. This man has no business working with the public. He is a disgrace, and I plan to tell this everywhere.

    I am a Wyndham rewards member and Credit cardholder and have considered tearing up the card and never staying there again because of his treatment of a CUSTOMER! I still, a day later, cannot believe anyone who works with the public would act like this. I am a widow, so I was alone, and I was the last to leave out of 30 or so people because of their badgering. Shameful .. Do not go. The points you get are not worth it; however, I feel his actions would have been different had I had a man with me. It was 100% intimidation of a senior widow. Proud to say I did not back down or away from his insults and demeaning postures.

    My wife and I go to New Orleans every year for about the last ten years. We are members of a different vacation club that allows us access to resorts and hotels around the globe, but we could never seem to book anything in New Orleans. Three years ago in 2019, we attended a Wyndham Club presentation while in New Orleans for Jazz Fest. A manager by the name of Jay and a salesman by the name of Charles ** convinced my wife and I that if we paid about $4,000 for 400,000 points, we would have no problem finding a place to stay in New Orleans whenever we hoped to use it, including the following year at the next Jazz Fest. If they could not fit us in one hotel, they would put us in another because they had "copious access to hotels in the city." We paid the money and when it came time to book our stay, which was well in advance of Jazz Fest we were told that they had no availability.

    We tried to reach Jay and Mr. ** and our calls went unanswered. We realized then that we had been scammed. We returned to New Orleans that following year, paying out of pocket for an AirB&B as usual. With the pandemic shutting down Jazz Fest and travel in general, we just returned from New Orleans a week ago and my wife and I were reminded of how poorly we had been treated by Wyndham and called their customer service to complain in hopes that someone would make this right. All we wanted was a stay in New Orleans, which is precisely what we had paid for. The customer service agents were rude and obnoxious--apparently, they treat people poorly for a living working at Wyndham and it appears to be perfectly acceptable. They claimed the offer expired despite our attempts to use it followed by the pandemic. No one ever attempted to contact us or tried to make the situation right.

    We escalated the issue up a single level and were told very snottily by a woman by the name of Greta that there was nothing that we could do about it because our account had been closed. She had absolutely no empathy, care or concern and sounded like she actually enjoyed telling us that. We are absolutely disgusted by the way that we have been treated by Wyndham and I would discourage anyone from even engaging with this disreputable organization in any capacity whatsoever. There are many options out there. Spend your dollars where you are respected and appreciated. Do not waste your time with confidence men who will say anything to get you to sign on the dotted line for goods and services that you will never receive. It is not worth the money, headache or disappointment.

    We absolutely love New Orleans, but we hate the dishonest games and tactics that Wyndham employs to attract clients. Not a good look for the brand in general. I would advise you to steer clear, but if you absolutely must, know what you are in for and get a confirmed reservation before signing anything at all. We do not recommend it at all.

    Learn from my experience and do not do business with Wyndham! The sales staff are all lying, money hungry, leeches. They will tell you anything to make a sale. Truth is irrelevant to them and none of them understand what NO means. Here are some of the lies they told me: This is an investment property. It is not, there is no value or real property. Wyndham is exclusive. False, you can buy points online and use them just like owners do. Our kids could benefit from the timeshare after we die. Technically, yes, but they did not tell me that the kids would have to pay for the maintenance fees that always go up.

    With RCI, we could book 7-day vacations for a total of $149. Nope! That was never a real offer. The minimum price is $289. Fake “one-time” deals. The salesman said if we came back the next day, our package would be almost $10,000 more. Do not go to owner updates either. Those are also high-pressure sales meetings to make you upgrade. Oddly enough, they ALWAYS offer “one-time” deals. Don’t let them make a fool of you and stick you with THOUSANDS in debt.
