Hello hello - ever since my traumatic Mexican timeshare I rescinded I have harbored a fascination with timeshares. Just sat on a presentation at Nashville . Did not buy but decided to buy the discovery package. Thought it was a chance to try out the system. Got 400.000 points for 2 years I was enrolled in perks can't remember if I also get access to Last Calls. He said would have Rico account. Cost 3,375

So tell me is my thoughts right a good trial ..

You could have done worse, but you could have gotten 400K worth of accommodations for less by renting.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Discovery means you also have to sit through more sales pitches, no?

OP needs to do a LOT more studying before even THINKING about t/s ownership. Stop! Start reading! Do some homework & Due Diligence.
 
Yes it's there back up when you don't buy. I have time to rescind still they also locked me in on a deal but I don't think it's that great

The deal is awful. Depending on where you want to go, you might find 105K points challenging unless you credit pool and use multiple years of points to get what you want.

If you end up finding that 105K works for you, you can find a contract like that with similar points for a price ranging from free to a few hundred dollars. And the "RCI FOR LIFE!!!!!!"? Yeah, all Club Wyndham owners have that, retail or resale, and it isn't free. You are actually paying for it in your annual Club Fee. The dollar amount he crossed out to enlist in Plus Partners is not a special deal for you. All retail buyers are enrolled in Plus Partners and pay an extra few dollars a year for it over resale buyers who don't have the privilege. It isn't worth the $2,400 they show, much less $18K.

It's expected that the Discovery purchaser will attend a meeting sometime during use to buy a new contract. The price paid for the package (equity) will be applied toward that new contract plus any unused points can be saved in the new account. If the purchaser already owns Wyndham, they will not let you use the package points in your existing account without an additional purchase.

Reality is that no one has to attend any meeting, nor do they have to sign any waiver papers. I have told them no and refused to attend any meeting (or sign anything) and there was nothing they could do about it. My handful of Discovery unused points just expired and the package price I paid gave us a nice vacation. We used it for the Land and Sea deal in the Discovery Directory plus some stays on the way home from the cruise port. I hated having to call in to make reservations for the package points.

That deal isn't all that great. They are betting you'll very soon want more points; so they can sell you a Second time. They are selling you CWP so they can next time tell you that you really want CWA. Did they say which resort this is for?

I recommend that you read the information in the Member Directory. See how many points it takes to get what you want. See what VIP gets you and then decide if you need that or can go with resale points. You don't have to accept that deal.
 
Just Rescind!

You do not understand WHAT you brought and you will be badger beyond belief to attend these OWNER Updates to upgrade and spend tens of thousands of dollars.

With your $3375, you could RENT 3 vacations @ $1125 for each week at many/most resorts (most likely only 2 weeks in Hawaii but you would NOT have enough points to book there but for a week to 10 days thru this program).

Or you could spend your $3375 and JUST buy for your own membership with no loan.

Multiple tenants (yes, people who rented a vacation stay from me) have been badgered endlessly to attend a sales presentation (sales staff working a variety of titles and positions).

Front end supervisors told me that to attend, they will assign a renter a BETTER VIEW or larger unit....as they have MOVE the sales staff into the Front Desk staff and management. And if they BUY, the rest of their vacation WILL BE in the BEST UNITS on the property.

My deeded fixed week ...was occupied when my guest arrived at 10PM ... because the front desk MOVED that guest into MY DEEDED WEEK. (That is like your neighbor putting AirBnB guests in your home ... because you were on vacation).
 
I believe I will write a letter rescinding at leave it at there timeshare office. I never was going to purchase the frozen deal. Thought I would try out the 400k points if it worked for me would by resale. I gues I liked Wyndam because of how long they have been in business and ok my timeshare sales man was really really nice . I have Ben reading this sight a lot but will do better I have so many questions s to ask but don't ad I figure you've been asked them s thousand times before. Also Wyndam was seeded and they kept saying inflation. Proof but I don't see how they figure that

NO!

Yes, it is SUNDAY but google post office hours opened on Sunday. Most major markets/population centers, do HAVE 1 post office open for limited hours.

You need to send it BY CERTIFIED MAIL to the address in your contract to cancel. HAND write it and photo copy it.

AND if this is the LAST DAY ALLOWED for to rescind ... use a commerical delivery service like Airborne or USP with PROOF of MAILING and PROOF of SERVICE/DELIVERY.

AND if you want to ALSO do the hand delivery ... get at least 2 or more receipted and readable signatures plus video/picture via cell phone your delivery.
 
Ok I bought Friday so thought I had time . I am never doing this again

If you brought FRIDAY March 4th, you are MOST LIKELY okay to rescind with a Monday March 7th mailing. If you brought the week BEFORE, you need to read you paperwork to see what is given as the number of days for WHERE you brought ... posting the location on TUG might get answers that way, too.

You can certainly send the RESCIND paperwork late if beyond the deadline and SEE if they just process it anyway...stranger things than that have happen in the universe.

write your letter, and print it and sign it, then find the nearest post office to mail it to the address in your purchase and sale agreement. Then if you want to do something with it at the resort; do that, but understand giving it to the housekeeper or front desk or to your salesman makes no difference, the copy that counts will be the one mailed to the Orlando or Las Vegas address (whichever one is specified in your agreement)
 
Wow glad you said that made me review contract they only accept cancellations by mail to there main office. In a way that's good no having to se those guys!! I'll be at the post office early tomorrow s d yes certified return receipt !

I have done two Wyndham rescissions in the past 5 years. Both times I was staying at a Wyndham resort and I hand wrote the note and had the resort FAX it to the number given in the paperwork.
It worked just fine. I called the next day to make sure they got it.
No problems.

Got my refund . I'm still interested In possible timeshare with them ..... But need to learn more first. I'm an Internet search master and have usually been able to score good deals on vacation rentals I.e condos or houses that c

Are of equal value (I believe ) to owning a timeshare -- I am coming to the conclusion that timeshare is not always the best value - make sense

It all depends on how you want to vacation. FWIW, the Discovery deal cost about $1000-1200 more than the underlying MF for those 400k points.

I don't recall if you can use the website for perusing vacancies and make bookings. If so, that is the one facet of ownership you'll never sort out by simply renting. Some folks take about 12-18 months to learn the nuances of the booking system and how to best get what you want. Others never master it completely.

Me too!!!

I was quoted almost the exact same deal, but they had me finance it by opening up a credit card account and putting the 2800 balance on it. I just did this on Sunday and I am wondering if I can cancel it by sending in the rescinding papers to the Orlando office or the Las Vegas office. Will faxing it suffice? I rescinded a timeshare type of Discovery package through Holiday Inn Vacation Club a few years back and I had to send them a fax and also write them a letter. The sales group is just down the road as I am still here in Destin, FL and about to leave in the morning. Any suggestions for help would be greatly appreciated. I might be on the hook for this 2800, but definitely not going to be buying the timeshare through them. If I do, it will be through resale, if at all.

Let the advice begin...
