| - Would give them 'Zero' Stars if i could.
The Wife and I went to Vegas for our 30th Monthiversary. Booked a Pyramid Spa Suite at the Luxor Hotel and Casino for 4 nights. Upon our arrival, we were met by a nice young lady asking us if we were staying the night and offered huge discounts on some shows. We took kind of a n interest, since the only show we bought tickets for were the 'Jersey Boys'. We let her expain what it is. We just listen to a presentation of Wyndham Vacation Resorts for 1 hour and we also get a free buffet. They will give us tickets for $10.00 each to see 'Chris Angel's Magic Jam'. Since we were going to be in Vegas for 4 nights with nothing planned except relaxation, why not. So we did. They signed us up, we paid $50.00 cash and they will give us back $30.00 cash at the presentation along with our tickets, etc... We have stayed at various Wyndham Resort Hotels in the past and know they are a really good company. We were not worried. The next day we went to the location to be picked up by their bus, and they were there. Several couples were also on the bus. They drove us down the main blvd to a Wyndham Resort. Went upstairsis and was introduced to the guy that will explain different things for us. Showed us the Buffet, we ate. After we went thru the line, the Buffet shut down. We received one plate of food, and it was pretty good but not great. Ate the lunch with the guy sitting at our table. Then the Presentation began....lots of HYPE for about 50 minutes. Still nothing was really explained and we became not interested. Already there the 2 hours and they are not done yet. After the presentation, the guy that was sitting with us talked to us about the details... the cost... The Presentator asked around the room about how much do you spend a night for a hotel room. Various people called out nubers, 100, 110, 115, 85, 90, 140, etc...our number was 93.00 a night and we go on vacation about 4 weeks a year. They stated that the National Average vacation days a year is 6 weeks and the National Average hotel room cost is $180.00 a night. Somehow he came up with an average we spend $78,000 dollars on hotel rooms. $78K is over more than a 10 years span. They guy with us finally came down to the cost of the Wyndham Vacation Resorts is $38,000 and something dollars with an annual maintenance fee of $1,380.00.
note: We go on vacation 4 weeks a year for $2,6040 a year on Hotel Rooms (on average). Over a 10 year period, that's $26,040, not $78,000.
Wyndham Vacation Resorts, over a 10 year period is way more than we pay for our vacations. You do receive 20,000 credits per years and the credits are applied to the number of days you want to stay, and they are all over the place...many of them...and that's great. We asked what the Cash Price of the W.V.R. would be. They said they don't like to deal with a cash sell, and they are showing the "LOW" interest rate of 9.78%. We do not buy anything on credit aboue 4%....period. They finally obtained a cash sell of $28,000 and some dollars. That is a little better, but hey, 'NO'. They became a little pushy and we held ground and said we are leaving and we want our tickets, etc. They gave us our tickets and $30.00 cash back and we left.
Wyndham Hotel and Resorts are a great place to stay but we did not like how pushy these people became.
I did Marketing for a number of years and did not tell them. To keep the people intersted, you keep the room cool and the Main Presentation no more than 45 minutes long. When you say your offering a Free Buffet make sure it is a 'Buffet' and not just a plate of dryed chicken...and be honest about your totals. 78K is Not Our Totals...
It's all HYPE and nothing else.
These people are in EVERY HOTEL and CASINO on the strip. They should not be allowed to be there, it's just bad for business.
