Wyndham Vacation Ownership Terrible Experience at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts: Unprofessional Staff and Poor Service

I gotta say, I had a pretty bad experience at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. I mean, I wish I could give them a negative rating of minus-10. I should have read the reviews before booking my reservation. As soon as I walked in, there was a guest arguing with the staff and storming out. I thought it was just an isolated incident, but boy was I wrong.

When we arrived early at around 1:00 pm, before check-in at 3:00 pm, we asked the staff (a lady of Indian descent) if we could check in early. She replied in a condescending tone that we would have to pay $25 each to do so. We came back at 3:00 pm and checked in, but when we gave her $60 cash for the $50 incidental fee, she refused to give us our change of $10. She said we would get it back when we checked out, but I just wanted a receipt for the cash I had given her. She wrote out a receipt, but she was clearly agitated and gave me a glaring stare.

The room itself was pretty small for a king size bed, and there was no closet. But the real kicker was when we were woken up at 2:00 am by the guest in Room 218 watching a sports event with the TV on extremely high volume. I called the front desk, and the staffer said he would contact the guest, but the loud TV continued for another thirty minutes. When I called back, the staffer told me to call the police myself. I couldn't believe it.

The next morning, we went to get breakfast as advertised, but there was nothing there at all. When we went to check out, the lady at the front desk was rude and condescending, asking where my husband was and insisting that we wait for her to inspect our room for incidentals. When she finally gave us our refund, she huffed and mumbled under her breath.

As retired soldiers who both served our nation proudly for over thirty years, my husband and I were appalled by the disrespectful and unprofessional behavior of the staff. We are requesting a full refund and an apology from Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. We paid about $300 for such poor service, and we will never stay at a Wyndham hotel again.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Unsafe and Unpleasant Stay at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts: A Review

This place is not safe! My husband and I booked a two-night stay at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts to visit my mom for Christmas. When we arrived, we realized that this place was not up to our standards, but it was too late for us to cancel as we had missed the 24-hour cancellation policy. We decided to stay for the night, but we were awoken twice during the night. The first time was by finches, yes birds, at 2am. I had to go out of my room and chase them down the corridor to go back to sleep. The second time was by a gentleman in the room next to us having a phone conversation outside his door at 3:30am.

The dangerous part happened when my husband left our room shortly before 5am to walk our dog. A man knocked on my door, and when I looked through the window, he had a food container in his hand like he was holding a pizza. I told him we did not order anything, but he just stared blankly at me. I opened the door and repeated myself, telling him to try next door, and quickly shut the door. When my husband came back, I told him about the man, and he looked scared for me. He stated that the guy had been wandering around the parking lot in a creepy way. Needless to say, my husband and I came down to check out by 7am as we did not feel safe.

We were told that we would be charged for the second night, even though we did not stay. We were even charged for our dog for that second night that we did not stay. Shame on you, Wyndham, for stealing from people. The desk lady was the only pleasant experience we had, and she was very kind to us. I am not a paralegal or attorney, but how does a refund policy that states "Cancel 24 hours prior to 4pm day of arrival to avoid a 1 Night charge plus tax" relate to being charged for two days automatically even if you feel unsafe here and refuse to subject yourself to another night of our poor and dangerous conditions?

If anyone wants to try to make this right, I can provide full documentation. Unfortunately, after doing business with Days Inn and their refusal to refund us for the night we did not spend, we also canceled a 4-day, 3-night stay offer that we had purchased. Unless Wyndham tries to make it right, we will not be staying at ANY Wyndham hotels after this.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Worst Hotel Experience: Dirty Rooms, Untrained Staff, and Terrible Service

This hotel is the worst I've ever stayed in. I don't care if it's not a 1-star hotel, it should be. The staff was terrible, they didn't care about anything. The hotel was dirty, except for the floors in the lobby and hallway, which were nice. The rooms were a mess and there were rodents in the ceiling. I don't know how Wyndham gave this guy a hotel to run. The staff was untrained and didn't care about anything. The breakfast was a joke, they gave me an old hard-boiled egg and a rotten apple. The carpet in the room was 60 years old. This place should be torn down and everyone should be fired.

I checked in on a Thursday afternoon. The lady behind the counter was talking to her boyfriend, husband, or side buddy. She ended up double billing me. I told her about it, but she was baffled. She said she would have someone from accounting call me. The next day, I asked two knuckleheads for a status update on the situation. The guy had no idea what I was talking about but said he took care of it. (he did not)

On Friday night, I spoke with "Billy". Billy is a woman or at least that's what she's selling. She told me how Wyndham just took over on the 1st of the year and how the system is new and mistakes happen. I said, "Yes, mistakes happen. You're right. However, I'm not concerned with your mistake, I'm concerned with the lack of follow-up and I'm concerned with the solution. I'll call you later today," she says. But she didn't call me back.

It took until Saturday afternoon for someone claiming to be the GM to call me. They said someone from accounting would call me on Monday morning. It's Tuesday, and I still haven't received a call. I paid over $700.00 for a 3-night stay in a 60-year-old dump disguised as a Wyndham hotel. It wasn't worth the original amount to stay there, and it wasn't worth a $1.00 to stay there.

So thanks Syed Abbas. Thank you for stealing my money and all the wasted time talking to people who couldn't care less. I'm very disappointed with Wyndham.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Unreliable and Unprofessional: My Experience with Super 8 Fort Worth

I recently had a reservation with Super 8 in Fort Worth for a business trip with my kids. I was in an 18 wheeler accident a week before, but I was still pushing to work for my family and survive. Unfortunately, I had an emergency and had to leave the room. When I spoke to the front desk clerk, she assured me that she and her manager would issue me a full refund. I didn't even have to ask, they offered, and I thought they were genuine. I planned to return to Super 8 because of this understanding.

However, I was wrong. I hadn't received my refund, so I called back to follow up. The front desk clerk assured me again that I would receive my full refund. I even reached out to Agoda, hoping they would take care of the matter for me. They said they would email Super 8, but they didn't get an answer in the email they sent me. While on hold, an Agoda representative told me that the front desk clerk said she would have to wait for a manager, which was a lie and a runaround.

I have been reaching out to the hotel almost every day, but the manager is never there. How can a business be run without the manager being ever there? At one point, they even stopped answering my calls. When I called from a new number, they answered, but I had to repeat myself again to a new front desk clerk. She said she would let her manager know to respond to the email from Agoda, but days have passed, and still, nothing has happened. No one is helping me get my refund as promised.

I have recorded the conversation with the front desk clerk, and I have submitted a dispute with my credit card company. However, I shouldn't have to go through all of this as a single mother to receive a refund that I was promised. We weren't at the hotel for even an hour, and I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my stay due to my uncle having Covid-19 in the hospital and passing away.

I would never recommend this hotel because the front desk clerk and manager don't keep their word and don't care about their customers enough to keep their word to continue to receive one's business. All I want is my refund as promised. Agoda keeps emailing me, and I respond, but I'm getting the runaround from both. I will never use this service again nor book a room at Super 8. I still haven't received my money or heard from either company. I'm most definitely getting the runaround and being completely ignored.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Terrible Experience at JFK Far Rockaway Wingate by Wyndham: Fraud and Poor Service

I arrived at the JFK Far Rockaway Wingate by Wyndham on November 7, 2021, at 6:07 PM. I had booked my stay online for a rate of $85.20, which I thought included all fees and taxes. However, when I arrived, the front desk person told me that I would have to put down a $50 deposit. I was surprised because there was no mention of a deposit online, and all fees were supposed to be posted there. Despite my confusion, I agreed to pay the deposit since it was refundable. However, I was charged $50 twice, which totaled $100. I showed the front desk person my receipt and pointed out the error, but she insisted that she only charged me once. She promised to refund the extra $50, but I was still disappointed with the mistake.

When I got to my room, I realized that there was no iron, which I needed to iron my clothes. I also noticed that the water was cold when I tried to take a bath. I went downstairs to inform the front desk person about the issues, and she told me to run the water longer. I tried that, but the water was still cold. I went down again to complain, and that's when she told me that other people had complained earlier. I was frustrated that she didn't tell me about the water problem when I checked in. If I had known, I wouldn't have stayed there. She contacted the manager, but no one came to fix the water situation. I stayed at the hotel until 9:23 PM, but I couldn't take a shower because there was no hot water. I was so disappointed that I checked out and slept in my vehicle.

The front desk person told me that she had contacted the manager, but he didn't do anything. I decided to wait until 7 AM the next morning to contact the manager and ask for a full refund of both my security deposit of $100 (which was supposed to be $50) and my $85.20 room charge. The manager should have shut down the site for offering rooms and warned customers before checking in that there was a problem with the water not being hot on the second floor. The front desk person knew about the issue before she gave me the room, so why did she check me in on the second floor? I will never go to this resort again, and I advise people never to go there either because they're pulling scams and taking people's money without providing proper service.

I plan to contact my bank, Chase, to file a claim to have the money refunded due to fraud and poor service. I hope that the manager will take responsibility for the situation and provide me with a full refund. Overall, my experience at the Wyndham Hotels and Resorts was terrible, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Terrible Experience at Baymont Midtown Savannah: Unfriendly Staff, Overcharging, and Manager's Combative Attitude

I recently had a terrible experience at Baymont Midtown Savannah, and I would not recommend staying there. The staff was unfriendly and combative, and I was thrown out by the manager with my children after discovering that they overcharged us for the worst room twice over and tried to say it was an error.

My family and I checked in without any issues on a Saturday to depart on Wednesday. However, by the next day, Sunday, I discovered that I was charged an additional $348 and $187, totaling more than I even paid for the hotel in the first place. I woke up after a horrible night due to the shower being dysfunctional, but I did not complain about that. I woke up and checked my bank account as I do daily and saw two more charges that were on my bank account. I spoke to the staff immediately, but they wanted me to just brush it off as an error, which I did not.

Due to the 'ERROR' being made on a weekend, I had to wait until Monday to approach the manager, Kevin, about the charges. He said that he just got off the phone with customer service, who could not even explain why I was overcharged but said it should drop off when we check out of the hotel on Wednesday.

My husband is a member of the Wyndham Hotel Membership since 2000, and he personally called customer service to let them know what had happened. The manager apparently received a phone call from the corporate office at the same time, and he decided to come to my room and told me that he was "working" with me to get it fixed and why did I call to complain on him about the service?

We told him that it was my husband's right to do so, and he told us to leave his hotel as he was not going to deal with us any further and he would call the police to get us out. Needless to say, we packed up and also called the police, of which two officers showed up, and we related what happened. Even the officers were dumbfounded by this whole ordeal, and at the end of the process, the manager checked us out with only charging us for one night as he had already lost the battle with the police.

Three days later, I am still looking for my refund from this crook of a manager (Kevin) and hotel staff, and I told him if I have to wait for another two days, I will be calling back the police again! Overall, my experience at Baymont Midtown Savannah was terrible, and I would not recommend staying there.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Disgusting Room and Poor Customer Service at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts

Hotels and Resorts.

I gotta say, my experience with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts was not a good one. When I called customer service to complain about the disgusting room we were given at the Days Inn, the representative wanted us to pay for another room at a different hotel. I mean, seriously? We had just driven 700 miles to see my sick mother in the hospital, and the last thing we needed was to deal with a room that was in such a terrible state.

The walk up to the room was just as bad as the room itself. The garden beds were nasty, the maintenance rooms were disgusting, and there was trash everywhere. The laundry room was unkepted and the stairs up to the room were falling apart. It was just a really unpleasant experience.

And then we got to the room. Oh boy. There was some kind of substance splattered all over the room, including the lampshades. There were bugs in the light fixture in the bathroom, and I actually had to kill a roach in there. There were cobwebs everywhere, the AC didn't work properly, and only one lamp worked. The plug to the dryer had some nasty substance on it, and the fragrance plug-in was disgusting. I didn't sleep at all that night, and woke up with bug bites in the morning.

I was really disappointed with our stay, and I didn't expect this from Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. I'm requesting a full refund, and I hope they consider my request. I'll be sending them pictures of the room, and believe me, I have a lot more than what I'm able to share here.

To make matters worse, when I received an email from the front desk offering to return only 10% of our stay, I was insulted. I paid $98 for that disgusting room, and they think 10% is enough? When I called Wyndham again, the representative offered me only 3000 points and then hung up on me. It's just not right.

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts should know what they're putting their name on. I didn't get any satisfaction from either the Best Western Brooksville FL hotel or Wyndham Hotels and Resorts. It's just a shame.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Worst Hotel Experience of My Life: A Review of Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham North Charleston

I recently had the displeasure of staying at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham North Charleston during my trip to visit family. Let me tell you, it was the worst hotel experience of my entire life! The floor was so dirty that my feet turned black just walking from the bed to the bathroom. The towels were grey and dirty, and the pillows had not been washed. To make matters worse, I found pubic hairs in the sheets. It was absolutely disgusting!

I was so grossed out that I slept in my clothes. The hotel was more like a poor apartment complex than a hotel. People were smoking marijuana in the parking lot, and there were frogs living in the pool! Who has frogs living in their pool?!?

To add insult to injury, there were no managers available when I went to the front desk to complain in the morning. How is that even possible? In my entire life, I have never stayed in such a filthy and gross hotel room. It was a complete nightmare.

I also stayed at a Radisson and a Best Western during my trip, and they were wonderful, clean, and welcoming. This hotel was the exact opposite. There was no complimentary breakfast, even though other hotels I stayed at had take-away breakfasts due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I cannot stress enough how terrible my experience was at Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham. It is not fit for the public, and if it were bulldozed, burned down, and rebuilt, it may be an improvement. I should be given a full refund and an explanation as to how this hotel could allow guests to stay in such a dirty room.

I used to think that the name Wyndham Hotels meant something, but now it means garbage and trash to me. I had stayed at Wyndham hotels in the past, such as the Wyndham Resort in Orlando, Florida, and they were excellent. However, after my experience with Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham, I will never recommend a Wyndham hotel to anyone ever again.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Timeshare sales

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.

Desired outcome: Like in the movie, denied, denied, denied. How many times do we have to tell you.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership We can not exit the Wyndham Club contract.

This is the letter I have been sending Wyndham Since March 1o 2023

Attached is my "Mutual Release of Liability"

Please review the form and take the "Third Party Contract" off my contracts.

Also attached is a copy from USPS Tracking that shows Wyndham  has done nothing to help me since March 10 2023 when W. Williams signed for my mail at 6:00pm.  Included in that envelope  was a copy of the "Mutual Release of Liability".  I am wasting $569.75 on maintenance for every month that Wyndham does nothing. If I was at a resort buying a new contract this would be done in three days.

I have called many different Wyndham offices to get this moving without any results.

Please Help us.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Lost payment history for maintenance fees

On or about Sept 2022 Club Wyndham installed a new payment collection system. During the migration from the old system to the new they lost owner payment history and auto-pay information. on or about Oct 2022 I received my first "collection" call for unpaid maintenance fees. It was a total surprise because I was on auto-pay. I disputed the debt and was asked to send copies of bank statements to prove payment which I did. No response. Then another collection call and was asked to send copies of bank statements, I was told I sent the original e-mail to the wrong address (I sent it to the address I was given). I sent again to a different e-mail address, no response. Then another collection call where I was threatened with legal action. Again I disputed their claim of 4 months unpaid maint fees and was told I needed to send credit card statements in addition to the bank statements which I did, no response again. I believe I owe them one month but they will not repond. Then I recived another threatening collection letter. My account is locked, I cannot reserve stays, I lost points at the end of March because my account is locked all the while paying maintenance fees every month. One of the employees told me this happened to "hundreds" of owners.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Management

The last few visits to Wyndham properties have not been good after meeting with your sales teams. The Legacy in Tempe, Az.,The Desert Blue in Vegas,and the resort in Destin,Fl.

The latest stay was at The Legacy in Tempe, Az. where they showed me an offer I was supposed to see over a year ago. No one at any of the resorts told us about. The offer they showed me was to sign my deed over and put me in a trust and I would have to pay 25k. The sales guy would not let me have a copy of that when i was ready to leave because the sales teams I had talked to in the past visits had been dishonest with me.They just wanted to sell me more packages that I didnt want. they said they were not making any money on me because I own Hawaii. I am very disappointed with your sale teams as they hide information from us so they may benefit. I love the properties and the people who work there but your sales tactics suck. Thanks Mike& Carlea Carlson

Desired outcome: I want my maintenace fee to stay the same or I want an additional 150,000 points to justify the 100.00 a month increase.WE look forward to hearing from you.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Salespersons Unprofessionalism.

We are not happy about what went on at our tour! The sales person (Will) was not professional. It started off just fine but when we said we weren’t interested it went bad fast. He made comments to my wife about being too old to be able to enjoy a condo. Also said to her that we could purchase it for our grandkids because she was so old they’ll be able to use it. He ended up complaining about being stuck in Destin and how he hates it. I sold for a living and this was one of the most unprofessional sales jobs I’ve ever witnessed.

It was disgusting.

Desired outcome: Teach your people to handle rejection. Also, we are considering making Wyndham our last choice going forward.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Owner Care

Wyndham took over Worldmark and Shell Vacation Club yet they refuse to merge the 2 accounts together and force us to continue paying maintenance fees separately even thought they are now Wyndham. We are paying double maintenance fees for access to the same pool of properties. On top of that, Wyndham Club owners, a 3rd timeshare entity with access to the same properties, have a 13 month window to reserve; yet, Shell and Worldmark owners have a 12 mos window. This means Wyndham Club owners has dibs on getting a reservation, leaving Shell and Worldmark owners twisting in the wind trying to pick up the leftover scraps.

Desired outcome: Merge Shell and Worldmark accounts into a Wyndham Club accounts so we are all on a level playing field for reservations, and remove the redundant maintenance fees.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Wyndham is Reprehensible

Every thing about this company is reprehensible. During a sales meeting we noticed the saleswoman would leave the room when she wasn’t getting what she wanted from us. She would come back and steer the conversation “mysteriously” towards something we had discussed while she was gone. She was using her cell phone to eavesdrop! She would leave her phone in the room with us, then go out and listen to our private conversations.

The cost of this “vacation point” package has gotten so high we can’t afford to do things we want. So, when we contacted Wyndham about selling the points back, we were told one of our contracts wasn’t even worth enough for them to re-sell! We are paying fees and mortgage on something Wyndham admits is worthless.

Desired outcome: Cancel membership entirely

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Fee charged for "points protection" . Unaware this box was checked on reservation by default!

I have talked to two agents today and explained this is the first time i have made a wyndham vacation reservation. Normally we trade into rci and reserve there. Wyndham sent an email saying transaction costs were waived. So we searched and found a vacation property we had enough points for. When i went to make the reservation , it showed i owed $149. I hesitated, but paid and decided to call wyndham today to check on that. The two agents told me that was a non refundable fee for points protection! what? i did not want points protection for a vacation that is 6 months away! that must have been the default which i did not see on any screen, telling me i opted for points protection. I would have removed that if i had seen it. I want my $149 back now. That is deceptive practice.

Desired outcome: I WANT THE $149 CHARGE REFUNDED. IWANT WYNDHAM TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS IS THE DEFAULT AND YOU ARE UNAWARE THAT YOU HAVE EVEN TAKEN THIS PROTECTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN AN EMAIL. KAREN AND MIKE SIRMAN, CUSTOMER00201412686

Wyndham Vacation Ownership The hotel cancelled my reservation with no alternative hotel

I reserved a room at the Wingate by Wyndham in Fletcher, NC on Oct. 18 and received multiple emails about my reservation leading up to my stay on Nov. 2. I told the hotel that I was a disabled veteran with mobility issues and that I would require a room on the ground level and reassured me that I would receive the accommodation. On the morning of November 2 at approximately 10a, I called the hotel to confirm that everything was squared away and once again I was assured that it was. I notified the staff member that I would be arriving between 4p-6p. I arrived at approximately 5p and the male staff member would not accept my credit card because it did not have my name pre-printed on the card. I have used this card multiple times in the past with no issues. When the hotel would not accept my credit card, I asked the male staff member who identified as the general manager responded that was not his job and continued to get irrate and unprofessional toward even going out of his way to tell me that he doesn't care if I am a veteran because that it had no standing on his job. The staff members I dealt with would not tell me the names of the management staff or the owner. I sat outside the hotel calling alternative hotels for nearly four hours when I needed to use the restroom. I went in the hotel and used the lobby restroom where I was followed to the door and when I exited I was told that I wasn't a paying guest that I could no longer use the restroom. In a very busy lobby, so do you want me to piss right in front of the hotel door or use a restroom. I did say that I cannot believe you are treating a veteran of the US military so disrespectfully when other guests began to complain about the events, I was told to leave the property and to walk the two miles at midnight to the alternative hotel that was a sister location while on crutches and carrying two bags. I called customer service they informed me the hotel's management team would have until Nov. 8 to respond. The contact did not occur and when I called customer service they gave me an apology that no one paying or not should be treated so disrespectfully and I recommended that I reach out to the property to get the owner's contact information and the company would recommend revising their website to display the correct information regarding payment when arriving at the hotel. Wyndham also offered me 3,000 reward points which is just a fraction of the cost that night and along with the embarassment and the humilation of being told I was scum and on the same level of a homeless person because I was a veteran and disabled. One of the male staff members was overheard saying that my only disability was that I was f---ked up in the head.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology from the property's management team, full reimbursement of transportation costs relocating to an alternative hotel and pay for the costs of the alternative hotel.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Wyndham exit program

Background: In total, over the past 30 years, our family has bought four (4) contracts — three (3) annual point contracts worth 316,000 points and one (1) bi-annual point contract worth 168,000 points. Two of the four contracts were bought through Fairfield and the other two were bought through Wyndham.

Our family has in recent years look for other vacation opportunities outside of Wyndham, so we were happy that Wyndham announced the “Certified Exit - backed by Wyndham”. However, we were able to find little to no information on their proprietary websites. We made several phone calls to Wyndham and every certified specialist we spoke to had given us the same recommendation.

The recommendation from the Wyndham certified specialists who have access to our full account, including, but not limited to available points, statuses and years with Wyndham was to end our bi-annual contract first.

These are the reasons given by the Wyndham certified specialists on why we should follow this recommendation.

• With all four (4) contracts, this places us in the Silver VIP status. If we end the bi-annual contract, we will be automatically downgraded to the Bronze VIP status (300,000 - 499,999 points), based on our total number of points per year, with no additional purchases.

Our three (3) annual contracts have a total of 316,000 points. According to their website under “if your loan is paid in full”, we should have been able to keep our Silver VIP status or keep the credits.

• After ending the bi-annual contract, our family will still be able to use any of the available bi-annual points that we have not already used by either

• 2 years end; or

• As soon as possible when making reservations.

With this option, we pointed out to the Wyndham certified specialist that we do not have an option to select which contract to use when we make reservations. We asked them to show us how we can use our bi-annual points first, but none of the Wyndham certified specialists could provide us with a solution or an answer.

Without any official information on Wyndham’s website regarding the resolution of the bi-annual contract, we took the recommendation of Wyndham’s certified specialist we spoke to over the phone. On June 16, 2022, we ended our bi-annual points contract (worth 168,000 points). Wyndham completed the transaction in 30 days.

The results of this transaction were most unsatisfactory and regrettable, and resulted in more calls to clarify the discrepancy between what we were told and what had occurred.

• We were denied Bronze VIP status because we have a grandfather membership which was not mentioned during any of the previous conversations. In order to reach current Bronze VIP status, we were told to purchase an additional 105,000 points.

• We were denied access to the bi-annual points, because Wyndham deducted 168,000 points during the certified exit transaction.

All of Wyndham’s certified specialists have access to our full account information. It was never mentioned during any of our conversations that our points did not equal their revised point system nor is this calculation readily found on their website. They also did not value their promise in keeping our 168,000 points which every certified specialist we spoke to said we will still be able to use once the certified exit transaction was complete for up to two years.

Based on the carelessness and lack of accountability of Wyndham to provide full disclosure and accurate information, and mistrust of their customer service, we cannot recommend anyone to Wyndham.

Wyndham Vacation Ownership Club Wyndam

On 6/7/22 I attended a Wyndam Timeshare presentation in Branson, Mo. I was promised many things to get me to sign a contract. As of today, 7/19/22, Wyndam has yet to fulfill any of the promises made. I have been in contact with my sales rep since day 1 until he quit answering my calls. After this I started contacting Wyndam to get answers. I have yet been able to get anyone to provide me with a copy of the contract or an answer to questions about what they were supposed to do so I could afford this timeshare.

On 7/6/22 I spoke with Mr. Mendoza who is a Specialist, Owner Resolution-Club Wyndam. I explained my situation and he followed up with an email to which I replied to the next day. I included all the necessary copies he needed and have not received any answers except, "He's working on it".

Someone also applied for a Wyndam credit card in my name for the down payment, which I wasn't aware of. After contacting the c/c co, I can't dispute the charge without going thru Wyndam. Got a bill, but no c/c from them.

Desired outcome: If Wyndam can't fulfill the promises made, which was the only reason I signed the contract, I want this contract to be canceled.
