Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes, it depends on your WorldMark.  Contact us for an offer.

We send the payment when the transfer completes. 

The whole process is outlined in the Sellers page.

Buyers pay sales price plus $399 transfer fee. If there are any other fees, they will be included in the purchase agreement.

We take cash, check, Paypal payment or credit card payment. If you choose to pay through Paypal then we have to pass along the 3.5% fee that Paypal charges us. A credit card payment over the phone will have a 3.5% fee added to it. If you’d rather not pay the extra fee, then you’re welcome to pay with a check.

Go to www.worldmarktheclub.com and click on “Resort Gallery” to see a map of all the locations. You can use your credits at any resort with “WorldMark” in its name on that map.

 Well, the biggest difference is the price.  WorldMark charges $3+ per credit if you buy a timeshare at one of their sales presentations.  Don’t do it!!  The only difference is that WorldMark offers TravelShare to owners who buy directly from them.  So what exactly is TravelShare? Well, it is pretty complicated but here’s the basics:

TravelShare was added by Wyndham Corporation in 2006 as a way for their retail credits to try to compete with the resale market credits.  It is non-transferrable and only available with accounts bought directly from the developer at retail prices.
TravelShare is a “tiered” membership. The more TravelShare credits you have, the higher up the tier you go with more benefits, etc.

TravelShare: No credit limit

Elite: 20,000 – 34,999

Diamond Elite: 35,000 – 62,999

Platinum Elite: 63,000 +

Basically, at the lower level, a TravelShare membership would give you the following:

Extended Bonus Time (called FunTime)
Can book your bonus time 21-42 days from check in (depending on your TravelShare level)
PROS – Can get a jump on Bonus Time bookings (normally 14 days before check in)
CONS – It costs more to book early than for regular Bonus Time. Many TravelShare members say they don’t use it because they don’t want to pay extra for the extra week booking advance.
WITHOUT TRAVELSHARE – Just pay less to stay during Bonus Time booking windows.

Free RCI Membership
Free membership to RCI (normally around $100 annually) and RCI points can be used towards individual night stays at select locations instead of just being able to trade a week for a week.
PROS – Free membership to RCI and added flexibility in RCI usage
CONS – WorldMark charges TravelShare dues in addition to maintenance fees which end up being around $10 more per month so your total “out of pocket” fees annually is more than just paying for a RCI membership.
WITHOUT TRAVELSHARE – Just pay the annual fee for an RCI membership if you want one.

Access to Wyndham Resorts
Points can be used to book stays at Wyndham Resorts in addition to WorldMark Resorts
PROS – Increased flexibility in points usage
CONS – Only a percentage of the rooms at Wyndham Resorts are available for booking by WorldMark members.
WITHOUT TRAVELSHARE – If you want access to these resorts without TravelShare, then just exchange for them through RCI.

A few other perks . . . you get priority registration when arriving at a WorldMark resort. You have a preferred 1-800 number for phone bookings.
WITHOUT TRAVELSHARE – Just stand in the regular line which is usually just as empty as the priority line.  Call the regular 1-800 number or book online (no wait).

In my humble opinion, definitely not worth it!  The biggest CON is the price tag which is around 90% higher than resale prices. 
Personally, I love the flexiblity of the WorldMark system and I’ve never owned TravelShare and never plan to.

To book a week vacation in a 2 bedroom condo at a WorldMark resort, it generally takes 10,000 credits (Hawaii is 12,000).   If you just want a one bedroom condo then they are generally 8,000 credits for a week and a three bedroom condo is 12,000 credits for a week at most WorldMark resorts.
