Hi everyone,
I received a call from someone from Executive Housing Strategies. He said he was affiliated with Wyndham Resorts but a third party company. He said they are a booking and concierge company that could rent out excess points for $2200 per 100k points. Sounded great and I agreed to a call, then they showed me to a website for Orlando chamber of commerce and their company website, all looking pretty legit. They said they would "register" me for the program and they would call me when they had a buyer, who would prepay for a week. I would have to respond to any offers within 48 hours. Then they hit me with the enrollment fee of $3k up front. Too many red flags so I refused. It would be worthwhile if they would actually deliver, but the contract has no guarantees and it started to smell like a scam. Who pays for rental listing services up front? I didn't agree to pay and eventually they got pushy and rude on the phone, so to me this is even more suspicious.
Has anyone else dealt with this company? I found on BBB and they are not certified but have 29 complaints since 2017. Sounds like they probably just rename the company every few years and start the scam all over. Most of the complaints have to do with a policy of having to make contact every 90 days or your account is suspended.
I'm specifically looking to see if anyone has anything good to say about them because if it's not legitimate everyone needs to know.
Also, does Wyndham sell owners info? I don't know how they got my name and number or how they knew I own Wyndham points.
Thanks.
Charles
