All timeshares are a scam… yes, you can get “good” deal out there for cheap purchase and low maintenance fees, but the reason timeshares are scams is because nothing is 100% in rates, points, or benefits. It’s written into every contract that the company can change as they see so fit. Generally speaking, no one knows the future of anything, so it’s a gamble on the fact your rates will stay the same, property will be nice, and owner benefits and terms are the same as when you purchased it.
This is just me saying that I have bought points through Wyndham and Club Wyndham has yet to do me wrong! It’s changed quite a bit recently too though.
this is happen when you my friends buy a timeshare……. change your minds.. the all incluisive its the best program right now
World Mark is much better. Only owners are allowed on the board of directors and they are voted in by owners. They only rely on whyndam to be their selling arm. In return whyndam gets acces to all worldmark resorts. Plus you sound like a timeshare salesman if your not you might want to consider
Why people insist on purchasing timeshares and vacation club memberships is BEYOND me. These are NOT good deals people unless you own the company!!!
Great video. Really informative. Too bad I did not know the problems that Wyndham had made since its takeover. DO NOT BUY WYNDHAM!
And the scam goes on….now platinum no longer get unlimited, Wyndham has scammed them as well. They only get 15 and % wise that’s less than VIP or Gold….The scam is on the owners. The real issue here is….what are you going to do about it? Comments welcome.

Timeshare are a sales scam, you can not sell even the best property for a tenth of what you paid. Then the maintenance fess will continue to go up and there is never an end to the cost. Every owner update, survey, or education is only another sales pitch. This industry needs a couple like the ones that exposed ACORN.
robslick2000, you are mistaken. I AM Platinum. Platinum’s only get 30 per year.
Ok VIP gets 5 free guest cert 300k pts or more. Gold 500k or more gets 10 a year and Plat 1 mil or more gets unlimited you need to get to plat I can help:)
This is a selfish world- only look out for yourself. BOTTOM LINE- it is a business. LEARN TO WORK THE SYSTEM!!!!!! kNOW THE INS AND OUTS- HAVE INSIDE CONTACTS– work the system!!!!
Please clarify why you would ever think that a company that misleads and changes policies to the detriment, of its owners could ever be considered the best vacation company in the world as you stated???
Being an owner with Wyndham means nothing because we have no say in anything.
They might be treating you good right now as an employee but don’t get to comfortable because they can stab you in the back also.
I’m sure it says in your Terms and Conditions or whatever contract you have something that starts like this……. Wyndham reserves the right to change or cancel…….dadadadada………. if you didnt like this- why did you sign up with the best vacation company in the world? Why didnt you have a lawyer present to confirm and analyze the contract documents? You are giving YOUR MONEY AWAY- AREN’T YOU? BOTTOM LINE- its a business and businesses are out to make money- not be fair….
The problem with the fine print is that Wyndham changes whatever they want in terms of policies and benefits whenever they want. None of the changes have been for the benefit of owners. They should have taken the responsibility to grandfather owners into the benefits that they were sold at time of purchase.
So if your getting done over why don’t you just sell it and that’s it all over. But from what I can remember you just have the shits coz you have to pay the $100/$90. I’ll play it again and I’ll look in to it.. later.. Thanks for the reply
Sorry buddy. They’ve fixed NOTHING. If you signed up 3 weeks ago I would suggest running for the hills NOW.
Nice video man. They have fix all that now. You should post another video what its like now
I signed up about 3 weeks ago and everything you said in the video you can do now (again) and I read everything and reading everything again..
Thanks for the sound advice,I’ll take heed.
omg can you sell me your timeshare actually if you arent happy and want to burn your luggage lol give it to my foundation and just write off your loss budy dont be mad get glad:) ill use and travel all over the world ! 1 you should never pay Maintenance fees or your an idiot lol theres many ways to avoid it 2- if you dont travel it doesnt make sense to own ! Hello!!! get over your sorrows buddy.. Donate your timeshare to me..
read your contracts
maybe you can start an association of owners to fight back against wyndham. Maybe pay for advertising on radio in areas of the resorts saying the truth, and then maybe windham will change.
My advice Buy Stock in Wyndham. The buy sign is WYN. Being a stockholder gives you a voice on corporate direction. Its a three tier relationship of stockholders, consumers of Wyndham products and services and employees. Bottom line is performance, quality, service and value. All parties need to improve their ability to provide the direction and leadership to accomplish the Count on Me philosophy of the company by listening well and acting in the best interests of all parties.
I work for Wyndham Vacation Resorts— the best company in the world. I work in the Margate FL office CALL CENTER. Sorry im not in the owner services division!!!! if you DONT LIKE IT- READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE SIGNING YOUR LIFE AWAY AND PURCHASING YOUR PRODUCT!!!!! RESEARCH B4 BUYING
*** although even if i could sign up to be an owner- I WOULD NOT !!!
As a former employee of a Wyndham resort, I brought my concerns of how unfair and unjustified it seemed for the company to charge someone such an outrageous guest fee since some VIP owners had been promised free guest confirmations. I was told there are members who book reservations and then sell them online, so they needed to charge everyone this huge fee to pay for those people. This is untrue, as if you own a large enough sum of pts, like the “mega users”, they waive the confirmation fees.
