Frequently asked questions
Cancel Westgate Travel Club: The Right Way
How to cancel Westgate Travel Club in malaysia: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
What Westgate Travel Club is and what malaysian members pay for
Westgate Travel Club is a membership-based travel service that offers access to discounted accommodation, resort stays, and vacation packages rather than a traditional month-to-month subscription. Members pay a recurring membership fee to unlock reduced rates on selected properties and travel deals through an online booking portal.
The service operates internationally, including Malaysia, but does not publish clear Malaysia-specific pricing, billing cycles, or local support channels in its public materials. This lack of transparency creates frustration for Malaysian members, particularly when cancellation requests become complicated or billing charges continue unexpectedly after a cancellation attempt.
What you receive as a Westgate Travel Club member
Your membership grants access to an inventory of discounted travel bookings, primarily through Westgate-affiliated resorts and partner properties worldwide. You do not own the accommodations or services; you pay for access to negotiated rates that may or may not align with your travel dates, destinations, or preferences.
Many members discover that available inventory does not match their actual travel needs, making the membership feel poor value within weeks of joining. The terms published on Westgate Travel Club's official website do not clearly state a refund policy for unused membership time, which is a critical gap in consumer protection.
Pricing and billing structure in malaysia
Westgate Travel Club does not publish Malaysia-specific pricing or billing information on verified public sources. Members typically encounter the following billing models, though confirmation depends on the membership tier purchased:
| Membership tier | Typical cost (est. USD) | Billing frequency | Cancellation impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard membership | USD 199-299 | Annual renewal | Full renewal charge applies at anniversary date unless cancelled before |
| Premier membership | USD 399-599 | Annual renewal | Higher charge; same renewal risk |
| Plus programme | USD 99-149 | Monthly or annual | Act before renewal date to avoid next charge |
| VIP or elite tier | USD 699+ | Annual renewal | Highest cost; greatest financial impact if not cancelled in time |
Malaysian members are typically billed in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) or USD depending on the payment method used. Conversion rates and international transaction fees apply, increasing the effective cost. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your billing statement immediately to confirm the exact amount charged and the date your next renewal will occur.
Your legal position under malaysian consumer law
Your right to cancel Westgate Travel Club is protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), Malaysia's primary consumer protection statute. Understanding your legal framework strengthens your cancellation claim if Westgate Travel Club disputes your request or continues billing.
Key consumer protections that apply to your membership
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 establishes that all traders (including membership service providers) must not engage in unfair or misleading conduct, must disclose material terms clearly, and must allow consumers to cancel services purchased from a distance (such as online) within specified periods.
Under section 4 of the Act, Westgate Travel Club has a duty to provide you with accurate information about membership terms, costs, cancellation procedures, and billing cycles before you join. If the company fails to provide this information in a clear, accessible manner, your cancellation request is strengthened because the service was not sold fairly.
Furthermore, under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and consumer e-commerce guidance issued by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP), distance sellers must provide a simple cancellation mechanism. Yafee has found that when a company deliberately obscures cancellation procedures, Malaysian consumers have grounds to escalate complaints to KPDNHEP.
Your legal position: what this means for your cancellation
You have the right to cancel Westgate Travel Club without providing a reason if:
- You purchased the membership online or via distance communication (email, phone, website).
- The company failed to provide clear, transparent information about cancellation procedures before you joined.
- You cancel within a reasonable timeframe before the next billing cycle (the Act does not specify a fixed period for memberships, but 14-30 days is considered standard practice).
- You follow the company's stated cancellation procedure or contact the company directly if no procedure is published.
If Westgate Travel Club refuses to cancel your membership or continues billing after your cancellation request, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) at https://www.kpdnhep.gov.my or via their consumer hotline: 1-300-88-5999.
Methods to cancel Westgate Travel Club
Westgate Travel Club publishes multiple cancellation channels, though their clarity and accessibility vary significantly. Yafee recommends attempting cancellation through more than one method simultaneously to reduce the risk of your request being ignored or lost.
Phone cancellation: direct contact during business hours
Westgate Travel Club provides a direct telephone line for membership cancellations. However, the company operates on United States Eastern Standard Time (EST), which creates a significant time zone barrier for Malaysian members.
Support hours are listed as Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM EST. From Malaysia, this window typically falls between 10:00 PM (22:00) and 7:00 AM the following day, which is inconvenient and may explain why many Malaysian callers experience dropped calls or long wait times.
Contact: 1-888-477-5202 (Westgate Travel Club cancellation line). Yafee strongly advises that you note the exact time you call, the name of the representative who takes your call, and a reference number if provided.
Live chat cancellation: documented and traceable
Live chat is available Monday to Thursday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST; Friday to 6:00 PM EST; and Saturday to 3:00 PM EST. This method is superior to phone because the entire conversation is automatically documented and can be saved as proof of your cancellation request.
Access live chat by logging into your Westgate Travel Club account at https://www.westgatetravelclub.com and selecting the support icon. Before initiating the chat, open a screenshot tool or screen recording app (such as the built-in screen capture on Windows or Mac) to record the entire exchange.
Email cancellation: the most important documented method
Send a formal cancellation email to Westgate Travel Club's customer service address. Although email response times may extend to 5-7 business days, email creates an irrefutable paper trail that protects you if the company later disputes whether you requested cancellation.
Yafee recommends using this address based on verified sources: [email protected] or [email protected]. If these do not work, visit https://www.westgatetravelclub.com/contact and use the company's official contact form, ensuring you select "cancellation" as the subject matter.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow this procedure to cancel Westgate Travel Club and create a documented record of your request.
Step 1: collect your membership information before contacting the company
- Log into your Westgate Travel Club account at https://www.westgatetravelclub.com/account or via the mobile app.
- Locate and screenshot your membership dashboard, which displays:
- Your membership number or account ID.
- The exact membership tier (Standard, Premier, VIP, etc.).
- Your current renewal date.
- The amount charged at the last billing date.
- Access your email inbox and save a copy of your most recent billing confirmation email from Westgate Travel Club.
- Log into your bank or credit card account and take a screenshot of the most recent transaction from Westgate Travel Club, showing the date charged and the amount in RM.
Step 2: send a formal cancellation email
- Compose a new email to [email protected] with the subject line: "Cancellation Request: [Your Membership Number]".
- In the email body, include:
- Your full name as registered on the account.
- Your membership number.
- Your current email address associated with the account.
- The date you wish the cancellation to take effect (request it effective immediately or before your next renewal date).
- A clear statement: "I request the immediate cancellation of my Westgate Travel Club membership and cessation of all future billing."
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation within 2 business days.
- Send the email and immediately save a copy to a secure folder or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.).
- Do not delete the email from your Sent folder; this is your proof of cancellation request.
Step 3: follow up with live chat or phone within 48 hours
- If you do not receive a cancellation confirmation email within 2 business days, initiate a live chat session or telephone call.
- Reference your original email and ask the representative to confirm that your cancellation request has been processed.
- Request a confirmation ticket number or reference code.
- Ask the representative to confirm:
- The date your cancellation takes effect.
- Whether future billing will cease immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle.
- The cancellation policy for any unused portion of your membership fee.
- Screenshot or record the entire conversation and save it immediately.
Step 4: monitor your bank account after cancellation
- Check your bank or credit card statement weekly for the next 60 days following your cancellation confirmation.
- If you receive any charge from Westgate Travel Club after your cancellation date, document it immediately with a screenshot of the transaction.
- Contact your bank to report the unauthorized charge and request a chargeback if the company continues billing without your consent.
Refunds and what happens to your unused membership time
Westgate Travel Club's refund policy depends on the membership tier purchased and the reason for cancellation. The company's published terms do not explicitly state whether partial refunds are issued for unused membership time.
Refund eligibility based on cancellation timing
| Cancellation scenario | Refund likelihood | Action required |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel within 30 days of joining | High - request full refund | Cite cool-off period; request full refund in cancellation email |
| Cancel within current billing cycle but before renewal | Low - refund discretionary | Request pro-rata refund; escalate if refused |
| Cancel after annual renewal charge posted | Low - typically non-refundable | Request cancellation effective immediately; negotiate refund |
| Cancel due to billing error or unauthorized charge | Very high - pursue chargeback | Contact bank immediately; file dispute claim |
| Cancel due to false advertising or unclear terms | High - consumer protection grounds | Escalate to KPDNHEP with evidence |
To maximize your chances of receiving a refund, include this language in your cancellation email: "I am requesting a full refund of my membership fee due to [reason: dissatisfaction with inventory availability / lack of clear cancellation procedures / no use of services]. Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, I am entitled to fair dealing and return of funds for services not rendered."
Yafee recommends that if Westgate Travel Club refuses a refund, you escalate your complaint to KPDNHEP, which has the authority to investigate unfair trading practices and order companies to refund consumers.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation rejection and continued billing after a cancellation request are frustratingly common; most problems arise from preventable procedural gaps. Below are the mistakes Yafee sees repeatedly and how to protect yourself.
Mistake 1: attempting cancellation too close to your renewal date
Many Malaysian members contact Westgate Travel Club just days before their renewal date, only to find their cancellation request is processed after the charge has already posted. Because Westgate Travel Club operates on US business hours, a cancellation request sent on a Friday evening Malaysia time may not be reviewed until Monday EST, by which time the renewal has already occurred.
How to avoid it: Cancel at least 7-10 business days before your renewal date. If your renewal falls on the 15th of the month, submit your cancellation by the 5th at the latest.
Mistake 2: relying solely on phone or live chat without email follow-up
Representatives on phone or chat may acknowledge your cancellation verbally but fail to log it into the system. Without written confirmation, you have no proof the request was made, and billing continues.
How to avoid it: Always send a formal cancellation email first, then use phone or chat as a follow-up verification method. Email creates the legal record you need if you escalate to KPDNHEP.
Mistake 3: not confirming whether cancellation is effective immediately or at cycle end
Some companies allow immediate cancellation but continue billing until the current cycle ends. Westgate Travel Club's policy on this is not publicly stated, so you must confirm in writing.
How to avoid it: Ask explicitly in your cancellation email: "Please confirm whether this cancellation is effective immediately or at the end of my current billing cycle." Request immediate cancellation with refund of any charges posted after your cancellation date.
Mistake 4: failing to save and back up all cancellation communications
If your email account is hacked, your phone is lost, or you accidentally delete messages, you lose proof of cancellation. Cloud storage failures or app crashes also cause document loss.
How to avoid it: Save every cancellation-related email, screenshot, and chat transcript to at least two separate locations: your personal cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive) and a USB drive. Print physical copies if you prefer hardcopy backup.
What happens after you cancel Westgate Travel Club
After your cancellation is confirmed, expect the following timeline and outcomes over the next 60-90 days.
Immediate impact (within 24-48 hours)
- Your membership login may be disabled or restricted.
- Access to the booking portal and discount codes will be revoked.
- You will receive a cancellation confirmation email (if you requested one in your cancellation email).
Mid-term impact (7-30 days)
- Monitor your bank account and credit card for any further charges from Westgate Travel Club.
- If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, contact your bank immediately to dispute it.
- You may receive marketing emails from Westgate Travel Club for several weeks; these are not an indication that your cancellation failed, but you can unsubscribe from future emails by clicking the unsubscribe link.
Long-term verification (30-90 days)
- Confirm that no renewal charge appears on the anniversary of your cancellation.
- Continue monitoring your statements for a full quarter (3 months) to ensure the company has fully removed your account from its billing system.
- If an unauthorized charge appears more than 30 days after cancellation, escalate immediately to KPDNHEP and your bank.
When to escalate: contacting KPDNHEP and filing a formal complaint
If Westgate Travel Club refuses to cancel your membership, continues billing after cancellation, or denies a refund without justification, you have the right to file a formal consumer complaint with Malaysia's regulatory authority.
Grounds for escalation to KPDNHEP
You can escalate your complaint if Westgate Travel Club has:
- Failed to provide clear, transparent cancellation procedures before or after you joined.
- Continued billing your account after you submitted a written cancellation request.
- Refused to refund charges posted after your confirmed cancellation date.
- Made false or misleading claims about the membership value, inventory availability, or refund eligibility.
- Failed to respond to your cancellation request within 14 days.
How to file a complaint with KPDNHEP
- Gather all documentation: cancellation emails, screenshots of your account, billing statements, and any correspondence from Westgate Travel Club.
- Visit the KPDNHEP consumer portal at https://www.kpdnhep.gov.my/consumer or call the consumer hotline at 1-300-88-5999 during business hours (8:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday-Friday).
- File a formal complaint online or by phone, providing:
- Your full name and contact details.
- Westgate Travel Club's company details (trading name, website, contact information).
- A detailed description of the issue (unauthorized billing, refused cancellation, etc.).
- Dates and amounts of all charges and cancellation attempts.
- Copies of all supporting documents.
- KPDNHEP will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and assign a case number within 5 business days.
- The investigation typically concludes within 30-60 days, and KPDNHEP will inform you of the outcome and any action taken against the company.
Yafee recommends filing a KPDNHEP complaint even if you have already pursued a chargeback with your bank; multiple complaints strengthen the enforcement action against the company and help protect other Malaysian consumers.

Why malaysian consumers choose to cancel Westgate Travel Club
Yafee has identified the most common reasons Malaysian members request cancellation, and understanding these patterns helps you strengthen your cancellation claim if the company resists.
Reason 1: limited or irrelevant inventory for malaysian travel dates
Most Malaysian members travel regionally (Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore) or internationally during school holidays (May-June, November-December) or Chinese New Year. Westgate Travel Club's inventory, which emphasizes US-based and Caribbean resorts, rarely aligns with these periods or destinations.
Reason 2: hidden fees and unexpected charges on booking
Members discover that the "discounted" rates advertised carry resort fees, cleaning charges, or taxes not listed in the membership portal, making the actual cost higher than public rates.
Reason 3: time zone and language barriers in support
Support operates on US time, with no Malaysia-specific team or Bahasa Malaysia support. Late-night contact attempts and language barriers compound frustration when members attempt to cancel.
Reason 4: automatic renewal charges without clear notice
Members report receiving renewal charges without adequate advance notice, particularly when billing statements are sent to email addresses they rarely monitor.
If any of these reasons apply to your situation, reference them explicitly in your cancellation email and any complaint to KPDNHEP. They strengthen your argument that you were sold a service that does not meet consumer protection standards.
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling Westgate Travel Club is legally straightforward if you follow documented procedures and understand your consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The company must allow you to cancel, must cease billing, and must refund charges posted after your cancellation date if they violate fair dealing standards.
Your action plan:
- Send a formal cancellation email to [email protected] today, before your next renewal date.
- Save all communications and back them up to cloud storage.
- Monitor your bank account for unauthorized charges over the next 60 days.
- If the company refuses to cancel or continues billing, escalate to KPDNHEP at https://www.kpdnhep.gov.my or call 1-300-88-5999.
