Westgate Resorts Town Center Orlando Westgate Resorts Timeshare dECEPTION AS A OWNER WHO BOUGHT IN 2003 Orlando Florida

In our quest to match the best vacation options to our guests’ needs, they are shown a lot of different types of units when they go on a timeshare tour and presentation. It’s in everyone’s best interests to have the right price and the right unit type when it goes to contract. For this very reason is why we make sure to review with our new owners their contract.

When booking their vacation week, owners get the unit type they own. If what we have available is not the one they own, then we advise that it is not available. We may offer an alternate unit that is subject to approval for this reservation by the owner. If it is not a suitable alternate, the owner does not have to approve, and the dates are thus not available.

Owner Customer Service would be glad to review your contract with you to ensure that you are getting what is on your contract. Sometimes owners make a compromise on the unit in order to get the price that they want, but later find out they would like what they initially found appealing. If that is the case, we can certainly speak with you about what it would take to get you what you want. We look forward to clarifying this with you.

Sincerely,

David

I contacted Westgate to get instructions on how to change my destination from Orlando FL, next year, 2013 week 27, to Myrtle Beach, and what the fee is. I had already researched kayak.com. I want a 2-br oceanfront, cost $3300 for 7 nights. Okay, then I researched member services. They give 30% discount to members. So, it's $2051, okay. I called to exchange my week and to ask about any fees. I already own a 2-br 2-bath at Orlando. I was told there's no availability. I said, "but there's ability for me to rent?" Then, I got the allotment to who gets what rooms, okay, and it will cost $150 for exchange plus $500 per night. I told him to tell it to himself. He's not making sense. You want to take my time share plus $150 exchange plus $3500 if I want to exchange there? Huh? But, if I want to rent it, I can for $205? It doesn't make sense. I can see the $500 upgrade because it's oceanfront. I made him repeat himself several times! So, here's the question. How much of this is **? What units are allocated to timeshare? Is this legal? Why would timeshare companies treat their owners like that?
