Hello All. Glad I found this group in time. My husband and I got pressured and basically duped during a “deceptive” presentation (turned into 6 hours....) on 3/13 in which we ended up purchasing a timeshare with a sales price of 19, 500 and 126,000 points. After doing more research and finding this amazing group, we decided to rescind our contract for the Club Wyndham Access and had it postmarked and mailed certified on 3/23 to the Vegas PO address listed on my contract. This was also the last day of our 10 day recission period, just made it! , we called Club Wyndham and they confirmed it was received and said our recission was “in process.” The lady said that we will be refunded and that we will receive email confirmation once the recission is complete. Thank goodness.
For those that have gone through this, how long has it taken to receive official confirmation from them from the time you sent your letter? I understand Wyndham doesn’t have to technically do this from what others are saying, but I am just curious for those who did receive something back. I did request written confirmation/receipt of successful recision in my letter as well.
We also opened up Club Wyndham Visas, in which the salesman immediately put the down payment on. I am hoping the refund comes back before I am required to make the payment on the card. Should I call the credit card to inform them of the recission or have you found that the refund usually comes back before the first payment is due?
In addition, my husband and I were told that we were only applying for the Visa card. About a week ago in the mail, we received a letter saying that another credit card account had been opened in our name called “Vacation Club.” We did not agree to this whatsoever nor did we see this anywhere on the Visa credit card application!! I called the number on the Vacation Club credit account and the kind rep told me that “when you open the Visa card, Wyndham requests for this vacation club account to be opened too.” Like what in the heck?! I immediately closed this account. Did this happen to anyone else?
I feel silly for falling for all of it but I am glad that I did my due diligence and got out before we were stuck..
I’ll provide updates.

Not everyone gets a written confirmation but I’ve heard of people getting emails confirming it. Monies are usually refunded within 20 business days. If you get a credit card statement, note the due date on it. Then about five days before, call the CC company to see if the refund was done. A lot of times, you can find out your current balance with the automated system. If there is still a balance, then you can tell them about the rescission. I suspect the money will have been returned long before the due date, but definitely check. Up to you if you want to keep the card open. It has benefits that can be used by non-timeshare owners.
