Wyndham's officers and directors have been making hundreds of millions of dollars from their stock options and excessive salaries while fleecing our country's elderly with worthless timeshares. Each of Wyndham's directors is absolutely aware of what Wyndham does in fraudulently selling Wyndham timeshare points to senior citizens.
They are part of a scheme that preys on our parents and grand parents to spend their savings on timeshare upgrades, while the Board members are issued more stock options. Each and every Board member of Wyndham (Stephen P. Holmes, Myra J. Biblowit, James E. Buckman, George Herrera, Brian Mulroney, Pauline D.E. Richards, Michael H. Wargotz, Franz Hanning, Ryan Morettini) should be held civilly and criminally liable for their corporate greed.
Wyndham is currently under investigation by the SEC for stock manipulation and securities fraud. Everyone should let their state attorneys general and elected officials know you want an immediate investigation into these people. The sick irony is that Wyndham's corporate predecessor, Cendant, has numerous officers and directs sitting in prison today because of their greed! Its time for these Wyndham officials to join them in jail!

It seems that when we purchased our wyndham vacation that we were given fraudulent information. I have placed several calls to Wyndham and RCI regarding information we were verbally told that has not been verified by either company. Being a new owner and trying to figure out the ropes, it's very discouraging being promised the entire world in a sales pitch and getting nothing but a useless bunch of points and a monthly payment that we can hardly afford. Conveniently I have no contact information from any of the sales people we worked with. I have no follow up email as promised from the main sales associate. I am unable to get phone information on the sales office in Myrtle Beach from the internet so that I may contact these individuals. Call this stupidity on my part for not covering my tracks and trusting Wyndham to be a reputable company but I would like some answers once and for all. I cannot believe a company as large and with the reputation that yours has, would fraudulently represent themselves to people just to get a sale and then feed you to the wolves afterwards. Please contact me so I can find out what we have verses what we were actually promised.
1.$249 weeks was what sold us on the entire deal According to RCI, they cannot be used anywhere, anytime because we need a certificate from Wyndham to redeem. RCI says these are just samplings of their properties and cannot be used whenever we want as we were told in the initial sales pitch. RCI also says that the specific areas we were assured by the sales members we could visit were not available for the $249 weeks
2.We have a large family and the point value they sold us will not even begin to accommodate our family vacations in one year. Wed have to bank four years of points to get a place for all 7 of us and we can only bank 3 years of points.
3.We were told that we could book a small place for all 7 of us and use the smallest amount of pointshowever, the book gives a maximum occupancy due to fire code and that was also false information
4.Housekeeping credits and expenses were never discussed. We had no idea we would have to pay extra for any type of housekeeping. We were told it would cost nothing but points to book through Wyndham, but according to the website that was also a lie. So lets look at these Housekeeping credits that were not explained. We got 84,000 points, which gives us 84 HK credits. I can book a 3 night stay at Wyndham Skyline Tower for 34,125 points which is about 40% of our points, yet is also cost 63 HK credits which is about 75%. So we are given 1 HK per thousand points, but you charge more HK credits to rent a place, and claim its not going to cost me anything?
5.The sheet of paper that was handwritten by our sales person for us to view all these details was not included in the packet of paperwork. This included such things as the fees to RCI for use of their property, the $249 weekend and free party weekends. There were other fees and expenses that were supposed to be included in our package that I have not seen.
6.I cannot call the sales center in Myrtle Beach to get hold of the original sales team that told us these lies. I have no business cards for any of the staff that sold us this bogus vacation
7.I never received the email as promised from my sales rep after the sale. She assured us she would be in contact and neither of us has received any type of communication from her.
a.The only information I have received in my email is when are you going to pay us from Bill pay. I have received SIX email about collecting money from me but no follow up email from a human being.
While my wife and I were in Las Vegas we were invited to visit the Wyndham Hotel the following morning for a tour and a complmentary breckfast.
Upon arival were imediatly "captured" by a representative from Wymdham Resorts and escorted to a presentation about a Time Share program. However it wsa mentioned and we were assuerd this was not a time share program. We had no idea that this was what we were invited to , a total misrepresentation.
Following the presentation we were taken to a small cubicle and the representative began to present a program where we could have ownership in the Wyndham resorts for $14,000. We told him we were retired and this was totally out of our capability. We live on Social Security and we were not interested.
Then another gentleman came in named Rick and he started working on us.... Another half hour and a third gentleman joined us. By this time they all knew we were in LV for my daughters wedding that afternoon, and it was getting close to that time. We told them that we had to leave.
For attending the presentation we were to recieve a $100.00 American Express gift card. So the third man Mr Kain Petaishiski aka Kain Peta said he would prepare some papers necessary for us nto get our gift card and nwould be rightr back. Then he told us he could set up a "Club Wyndham Descovery" account and we could take it home and give it to our children and he would set up an account with one of the banks in Las vegas for payment. The cost would be $3,524.00
Again we made it very clear we could not afford this or any further expenditures in our budget. He said if they did not want it they would not be obligated.
This whole program is nothing but a giant rip off on hundreds of folks perhaps thousands and especially the elderly. You do not get to keep the note book presentation they use in the closing room. as that would incriminate them.
The bottom line is they some how opened up a credit card account with "BILL ME LATER" part of PayPal and I do not know how they did it. and charged the $3524.00 on the card Upon arrival home there was a letter from Bill Me Later stating I had been approver for no less than $35,000.00. I immediatly called them up and said I don't have an account with you and was informeed I did and owed them $3524.00.
I told the bank I disputed the charge and I had no intention to pay them. They investigated and said I owed them the money. When I contacted the recession dept for Wyndham they said I was 8 houres to late to cancil, that it was paid for and nothiong could be done.
In closing I have checked out some of the hotels and motels like Days Inn, Travelodge, Ramada Inn, and Super 8 all owned by Wyndham and none of them would allow me to pay with the 400,000 credita in my account they would just give me a discount, no better than I allready get.
This company is run by some very greedy scamers. In my openion.
My wife and I attended a Wyndham presentation. We went in with an open mind and here is what happened. After about 5 "no thanks" and a 4 hour pitch we purchased the discovery package for $2744 which allows you to see if you like it without committing to the yearly maintenance fees.
They said the resorts need 10K points a night, the reality is about 30K. The Wyndham management folks that talked to us knew we needed a 3 bedroom 3 bath unit in Honolulu this year. When we got home, looked through the points book and found the only option was a 2 bed 2 bath in one of their older properties, a block from the beach. We knew it was not for us. We even tried to look for other vacation options for the following year and nothing would work. Is using the word scam a bit strong? I don't think so.
The next day we called Visa to start the dispute process and called Wyndham and said we need to cancel. Two weeks later I saw we did not get credited on our Visa. I called Wyndham back and they said I should have mailed my contract and points book to a PO Box in Las Vegas within 5 days. No one ever talked to me about what to do in order to cancel. I trusted they would do the right thing. What do you know, I later found out the fellow I talked to lied about me canceling.
After being shoved around between 6 people, numerous phone calls, e-mails and even sending phone records proving my claim. They refused to credit my Visa. I am thankful Lisa Ann Schreier of Time Share Insights is helping me.
