My advice Buy Stock …
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.

As a former …
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.

BUY GLOBAL SERVICES …
BUY GLOBAL SERVICES NETWORK!! Me and my husband owned a week at the Wyhdham Grand in Vegas and sold it immediately to this company, got all of our money back for it, and got into a new plan that gives me up to 5 weeks a year anywhere anytime. No maintenance fees it is the best thing we had ever gotten into. We had a lot of problems getting trades so we decided to use global this year. First vacation was Maui Schooner, absolute gorgeous resort less than one min from the beach. Look into it!!

but in the end if you don’t want to upgrade and you are happy the way you are just tell them politely to bloody off lol.

Maybe it’s just the fact that Worldmark is setup differently in other parts of the world other then here in Australia because a lot of people I have spoken to from the Australian branch of Worldmark/Wyndham/Trendwest (what ever you choose to call it now) have been very happy with what they have at the moment.
Please don’t think my comments or a dig at the video or other comments that have been made, I’m just stating my personal experiences so far. And yes the sales people can be extremely pushy

I have highlighted the but LOL. We do keep getting hounded by the Wyndham sales team to find out if we are happy with with the level we are at and if we want to upgrade. All we say is yes we are happy and no we don’t want to upgrade thank you.
Our parents and siblings have also enjoyed the benefits of the bonus time that we have. Their comments have been that if they were to have stayed anywhere else with similar setups fo Hotels then they would have been pay 5 times as much for their stay.

After reading all …
After reading all of the comments so far, I have noticed that every negative comment has come from a person that has upgraded to one of those VIP memberships or gold memberships. All I can say is thank god my wife and I are still on the bottom basic package of 6000 credits at $13000. We have enjoyed every holiday we have been to and looking forward to out next holiday.
Too us it has been well worth the money we have paid BUT….. and I do say this as a very small negative but even though

I agree. I am an owner and I just came back from Southern Spain(Sahara Sunset Club) I used my points for an RCI exchange. Unbelieveable. I use my membership to go to Greece and stayed at Leoniki Residence, also at the Xanadu Beach Resort and Marina. All together those vacations would have cost me close to , or over $20,000 out of pocket. I probably would have never gone, but was able to through RCI and using points. This was 3 years ina row(1 vacation a year) RESORTS ARE WORTH IT!

‘Fair warning?’
How about straight up advice? Before you purchase ANYTHING, make sure you READ what you are signing and what you are initialing.
Of course, sales people are going to talk your ear off. What do you think car salespeople do? Exactly. They want you to purchase. Give them your money. Everything you need to know is outlined in the paperwork you personally sign.

MUST READ:
We bought Kona Hawaiian Timeshare for $20,000 cash in 2001. Maintenance $634/year. Never been able to get the booking of the places that we ever want. For the last 9 years, we were able to use 3 weeks, all we got was 2 rooms apartment/motel. Not a hotel, no star to mention. For just $634 a year maintenance fee, you get have a better holiday that we could get with that about $30K we paid. Gave away for free and BE FREE.

ok speaking as a exemployee of wyndham.(one day will be again).
this owner is defeinately a platinum owner. and in some sense hes right, it doesnt seem quite fair for the prices to be rising the way they did. but on the other hand lets say they didnt raise the prices. then the points system would collapse and guess what now your out of making reservations for guests. so take the 129 dollars your better off in the end.

This guy uses his timeshare for rental, which is taking up opportunity for families to come and visit what they paid for. The owner here if he is at the VIP level get the minimum of 5 free guest comfirmations, and any additional is $59. He obviously abuses the system, and tries to make money on the company, yet he will charge you and your family $2000 to stay in a one bedroom, back of the building condo. Timeshare is not meant to be a business jerk!! Thanks for taking all the inventory Jerk

PART 4
Failing Wyndham compromising or demonstrating an effort to be reasonable, I think owners need to consider a more formal relationship (let’s call it a union) and explore retaining legal counsel. It would seem easier to do sooner rather than later. I am quite certain a judge would find the whole story unacceptable and likely to act in favor of the owners.

PART 3
In the example of point transfers between owners, clearly Wyndham wants to force owners, to pay the $99 guest registration fee. I note that the cost of that fee continues to escalate beyond reason. Given the inevitable showdown between Wyndham and owners, I suggest that Wyndham strike a compromise as the transfer transaction does have some cost ociated with it. It would seem to me that $25 is the right number if the transfer is done electronically.

PART 2
Now that the new sales of retail points have dried up, and will likely remain dry for the forseeable future, it is quite apparent that Wyndham is backtracking on the non-contractual benefits and is attempting to MILK existing owners for all they are worth. This is likely to continue until such time as the owners commence class action litigation. I would think it would be in Wyndham’s best interest to avoid such litigation, and to be reasonable in the application of new fees.
