So, my husband and I took our two children on a last minute trip to Myrtle Beach this weekend. We attended a Wyndham Time Share sales pitch (or whatever it's called) for free tickets to an attraction. We were told it would last two hours but we ended up being there from 9 am to 3pm! We had no intentions of buying until we got there and listened to the pitch and we were then, somewhat, interested in becoming possibly owners in the future when I finish schooling next summer. I haggled with them a little bit and they kept bringing more people in who had more bells and whistles and didn't want to take no for answer. After being exhausted and just wanting to get out of there we finally agreed to the discovery program. We paid 2,700 for 300,000 points we could utilize within the next 20 months. They set up a Wyndham credit card for us but that's not what we paid for it with. They apparently charged a PayPal credit for the full cost. We were told that there is no interest or payments due for the next six months. After getting an email the next day I found out that I will in fact be charged the full interest of it isn't paid in full within that six months, which they did not tell me and, in fact, led me to believe that I would'nt be charged any interest in that six months even if I don't make a payment until the six months is over. Yesterday, when we attended the sales pitch and signed up, was Sunday. Today on our way back home I have been researching to see what I actually got myself into. I found this site and realize I was ripped off because there is a better way to go about purchasing or renting a time share. I think I want to rescind but I'm not sure how to do it. From what I gathered from this forum I write a letter cancelling and they will refund? I got my contract out and it does say we have 5 calendar days to cancel. How will I know that they actually refund this PayPal thing they charged? They didn't give me paper work on that account and when I tried to get online to my PayPal account (which I rarely used in the past, only a couple times on eBay years ago) I can't find anything on a PayPal credit line opened? I'm so confused and feel so stupid and lost. I typically pride myself in making finically sound decisions but I guess I have given myself too much credit to have become tangled up in this mess. Any advice would be appreciated. As a side note, we do plan on taking a vacation next summer still, like we always do, so maybe this would be worth it to just keep and utilize the 300,000 points? I'm afraid if I do that then I won't be able to book what I actually want for next July. Please help? Thank you for reading!
