My experience with Westgate was a nightmare disguised as a “vacation invitation.” It all started when my boyfriend and I were on vacation in Orlando. As we were leaving one of the theme parks, a man offered us a “day pass” to visit Westgate’s resort. He promised transportation from our hotel, a buffet breakfast (which ended up being worse than a cheap 7-Eleven combo), and $110 in cash just for attending. None of that turned out to be true.What followed was hours of manipulative sales tactics. We were greeted by a salesman who was very friendly at first—but it was clear his mission was to pressure us into signing a contract. He asked us personal questions about our income and travel spending, just to figure out how much they could squeeze from us. He then showed us old, run-down facilities while pretending it was a luxury resort. He sold us the idea that we’d get a 7-day stay in Orlando every year, and access to 5-star hotels around the world through Interval International for $400–$500 per stay.The reality? Completely different. Three months later, when I tried to use this so-called “exclusive benefit” with Interval, every search returned prices over $1,200 per week. I searched in low season, across multiple dates and destinations, and never found what was promised. It was all a carefully constructed lie to get us to sign.Five months later, I tried to cancel the contract. I called and emailed them with evidence that what they sold us didn’t exist. They took weeks to reply, and when they did, they told me that this was “not a valid reason” to cancel. Are you kidding me? I was scammed and that’s not enough.They passed my case from one department to another with no real solution. A month later, I received a notification simply stating the contract couldn’t be canceled—with no explanation as to why I couldn’t find any of the properties they had promised.Where is the logic? Where is the ethics? Westgate sells a product that doesn’t deliver on what’s promised and then washes their hands of any responsibility. They abuse people’s trust and use aggressive, misleading tactics to trap families into long-term debt.I’m still paying for something I don’t want, that doesn’t match what was sold, and that I’ll never use. I’m desperately trying to get out without hiring a lawyer—but Westgate’s lack of accountability makes it nearly impossible.If you’re reading this because someone offered, you a “package” — run. It’s a scam disguised as a vacation investment.No benefits. No support. Just debt, frustration, and lies.
