Before Trendwest sold to Wyndham, they used Interval International (www.intervalworld.com) as their main exchange company.  Both are fantastic companies to help you maximize your Worldmark timeshare.

Here are a few thoughts and answers that I can offer. The first one has to do with Owner Advocacy. Have you been to WMowners.com? This is an uncensored website with 300,000 posts with 15,000 to 20,000 subscribers behind it. The folks who started the site, and others, have been very serious about protecting the future of Worldmark. I do not believe any other Timeshare group or Club has anything in place that would come close in comparison. This is a big, big plus for the future of Worldmark.

Second, the maintenance fees at Worldmark are still today one of the lowest in the industry making the owners travel investment pencil out in the black, year after year. Other timeshare companies have high enough maintenance fees that they have lost their vacation value, except for those who have the best weeks at the resort.

In a nutshell, here is the big problem with runaway maintenance fees. If you own a fixed week, but no longer want to return to the same resort and perhaps to the same room, then you need to use an exchange company to try to trade your week for another one someplace else. If your dues, when combined with the yearly membership fee of the exchange company and the exchange fee, equal the price of renting in the open market, then why own your Timeshare? These are the timeshares that are stacking up on eBay and other sites, that owners are so desperate to sell. These timeshares have NO value. The timeshare owners are also the ones that continue to fall prey to the scam artist who tell them their timeshare actually has value, so they get excited and hand them $1,000 or more in anticipation of getting rid of their worthless week. I have people who have paid 2 or 3 companies, because they believed their week had value.

So, how does this relate to the future of Worldmark? When the dues head towards being unbalanced and erode the actual vacation value, it will be time to seriously consider selling. Hopefully, that’s not going to happen!

My advice while you are on vacation is to stay out of any timeshare sales office, unless you are one of the few who are not bothered by the high pressure and you actually enjoy the game. Timeshare sellers are masters at making you feel like you are missing out if you don’t purchase today and many spend their vacation struggling over the decision to buy. Remember, you can purchase an additional account from another Worldmark member for less than .30 cents per credit and combine it with your current account. There is nothing in Travel Share that makes it worth $3.70+ per credit, in our opinion.

Enjoy your entire vacation and stay away from the offer to “come hear about all the new updates.”
