HGVC Rescission

Hello all, I made the bad decision of signing a $29k contract for 5000 points for a 2BD at Andersen Ocean Club (HGVC). Presentation and sales pitch was on 12/27 (in Orlanda, FL) and the contract states I have 10 days to rescind. I had a bad feeling since the day after signing since I committed...

[ 2019 ] Instructions on cancelling your recent Wyndham timeshare purchase

Assuming that Nevada law governs this purchase, you should follow what it says in that law. Your act to rescind the contract is what has to be within the time limit. The law you cite reads like it is calendar days, so if it were me I would follow that and send the rescission notice (signed by...

Cancellation of Timeshare purchase

I am really glad I found this website. My husband and I were at Vistana Villages on an encore package. Basically the sales rep made it sound like our current product was going to be useless in the coming years. So we upgraded our 67,100 options on our current package to 162,000 options with the...

3/29 - Thank you so much!!! I found this site on our way home from Gatlinburg / Smoky Mountain HIVC. After 7 hours into a 2 hour presentation, we caved and bought. Kind of made sense with the amount of sports travel we do.. until I started wondering if $18k was overboard for 75k points plus 75k bonus points Year 1 and $2k in fees yearly for the rest of our lives. SO GRATEFUL for all of the amazing advice on here. Got everything mailed Monday 3/21 to cancel after remembering so many red flags and reading through forums on here. Today we got our refund and a letter from HIVC acknowledging our cancellation.

Congratulations on your decision to save $18,000. If you want to buy a timeshare in the future, continue with Tug and study your options. There is a huge resale market that you can take advantage of. If you are traveling to sports events, you may want to calculate whether timeshare is proper for you. Good reservations in good locations usually book-up months in advance. Timeshare is not effective for last minute travel. Study the systems and try renting from owners. Then make an informed decision.

Thank you, I’m absolutely taking this advice to heart. We definitely should have done our research before.. but will definitely be doing research here going forward. I’m just so thankful we found this in time. I can definitely see booking in advance further in the future but for sports we have weeks notice, sometimes months but booking out a year + is just not doable with 2 kids in travel sports. I love the idea of renting from owners first and getting a better understanding before taking the next step in a few years.
