Westgate Travel Club reviews and complaints

This is a scam! There are no discounts! The prices for air and cruise is cheaper if you go directly to the airline/cruise line.

Costco is cheaper on every item I compared. What they do is inflate their prices and then give you the so called "discount".

You do have blackout dates which they flat out lie about during their presentation.

You do not get to use all of your travel credits on whatever you want. This is just a scam. Their website doesn't work half the time.

They took 2 months just to figure out a login/password.

Worst part is that the discounts are a lie. Again... Compare your search on costco for proof... It speaks for itself.

On 12/26/2014 in Westgate LV, Wife and I were "sold" onto a Travel Club for $4000 plus yearly maintenance fee of $199. Promise to give us 2weeks of Westgate resort stay for $500/week. And 2 free such weeks every year.
Promise to get best price of airfare and car and hotel deals instead us searching the internet for the best deal. Promise to match lowest prices.
i tried to book car rental and hotel through the club and every time they are more expensive than Expedia/Priceline.
so what's their value?
their cruise aren't so great either.
So I felt cheated of the $4000 and they would not work with me.
Guys, do not get caught. I will go to BBB to complain.

My husband and I purchased a travel club membership through this company in Orlando. We have had a timeshare for 14 years and love it. But this was suppose to be different. You are buying a membership that supposedly gets you 50% off of hotels, cruises, tours and airfare. The day after we purchased I called their customer service number to see if the prices were what they said and I was told that I couldn't get prices until I received my password in 6 weeks. I should have known right then! When I got my password and looked up prices, they were the same price and Expedia and Priceline to the Penny and sometimes cost more. My heart sank. We did not buy this for the timeshare and the man that gave the presentation sat with us and told us that the money savings was with discount on hotels and airfare. Always listen to your gut. We contacted BBB and Florida Attorney General and a lawyer to try and get out of this. It has been almost 6 months we are not paying Westgate, but we have a conscience and feel like we should pay Bill Me Later since they have already payed half of the purchase price. So basically we are paying $1700.00 for nothing. We had an excellent credit score before this in the 800's and now I am so mad that 25 years of paying your bills ontime can be undone by one stupid company. Please learn from us! DO NOT BUY and if you have, go get your car keys and jump in your car and cancel this. It would help me a little bit to know that our dumb mistake helped someone. God Bless!

My wife and I took a timeshare preview for some free tickets and once we declined, we were given our tickets about 3 timeshare agents tied to get us to buy. Needless to say, once we received our tickets, we were approached by a agent stating she was with westgate travel club. She advised for 1 hour power point preview, she would give us dinner for 2 and 2 movie passes. I asked her was this a timeshare presentation and she stated no. Once we met our agent, she was very nice and tried to get to know us. We told her that we had several bad experiences with timeshare previews and we were told this was only a slideshow for 1 hour. After the agent kept us at "breakfast" for a hour, the show began. The salesman told us at the beginning of the slide show, this is a simple presentation and once you say no, you are done. You get your free prize and go on to your vacation. Not true! This is nothing more that an attempt to get you to join a travel club for over $8, 000.
I had to get rude with the agent and told them all I wanted were our tickets.
Folks, be aware of all this "free" stuff. Your 90 minutes always turn into 3 hours.
