Does WM take a credit card deposit for your stay?

I just returned from my long weekend at WM Leavenworth. It was a nice place, and the unit worked perfectly for what we used. We were in town for a family reunion weekend, so spent most of the time away from the resort. On check in, they didn't ask for a credit card, just a photo ID. I don't think they charged me a TOT, or if they did, I haven't seen anything about it. The only thing I saw where I could have spent money was the WiFi in the unit, which I chose not to use. Beyond that, it was all very easy and quiet.

Thanks everyone, for the comments. Next WM stay is San Francisco in October. I expect to have charges there.

The TOT, if applicable for that location, would have been collected at the time you booked the reservation.

Edited to add: Each resort info page (from the main gallery) identifies if that location is subject to TOT. There is a master list, updated annually, of the locations and rates.

To find that list ... log into your WM account and navigate:
Home > Your Account > Online Reference Library > Forms and Information > Tax Information> Lodging Tax (LT)/Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT)

Thanks, Rhonda. I’ll check for that. The credit card is no issue, was more a curiosity question than anything else.

For many years WMTC did not pay TOT in Washington on the the advice of Wyndham Legal Counsel. Then a few years ago the Washington AG ruled the TOT Statute did cover timeshares. Wyndham paid all the past due TOT's and WMTC started collecting TOT's in Washington at the time of making the Reservation.

Just checked my Confirmation, and you folks are correct - they did charge me the Lodging Tax in advance. I hadn’t noticed that before.
