Q.  What is WorldMark by Wyndham (formerly Trendwest®)?
A. A WorldMark® ownership is like having a vacation home at the lake, the mountains, and the beach at a fraction of the cost of a second home with none of the headaches. Comparable in price to traditional timeshares that offer only one location, for one week at a time, a WorldMark ownership gives you more than 60 locations to choose from.
WorldMark is a points-based (referred to as Vacation Credits), recurring membership which is renewed in perpetuity and may be willed to one's heirs.

1. You are not given a set period of time to use the Club, but rather may book any dates available in the resorts network
2. You do not "own" in any given property - instead, you have the Right-to-use all properties within the Club
3. Each year your credits are renewed and deposited into your account on the first day of your anniversary month - all you need to do is to pay your maintenance fee, book your usage dates, and enjoy!
4. WorldMark may be willed to your heirs - a lifetime of vacations for you to enjoy, and then you may give it to your children, friends, or a charity for them to utilize as well

WorldMark also allows traveling owners with families the extra space and privacy, while avoiding the expense, worry, and inconvenience of having to split up the family into two or more rooms. The kitchens eliminate the need to eat every meal out, further saving money and stretching precious vacation dollars.
What's more, when you can go on vacation easily (and economically), you'll simply go on vacation more often. It's time that you can use to reduce stress, relax with loved ones, or participate in your favorite activities more often.

Q: What is WorldMark by Wyndham resort timeshare ownership?

A: Wyndham develops markets and manages WorldMark resort properties worldwide. Wyndham transfers ownership of these resort properties debt-free to WorldMark who ends up owning, operating and maintaining them. The WorldMark by Wyndham ownership program offers more than 75 resorts around the world to owners that purchase credits. The reason Wyndham entered the timeshare market was because it found traditional timeshare ownership to be too restrictive.

Q: What's the difference between annual credits and available credits?
A: Good question. Annual credits are the credits that make up a WorldMark membership. If you have a 6,000 credit membership, you have 6,000 Annual credits. Available credits, on the other hand, are the credits that are added to your account on your anniversary and then exchanged for your vacation accommodations. If you think of your account as a bank of credits, your available credits are what you have left to spend.

Q: What are Available Credits?
A: When you purchase a WorldMark® Ownership contract from a previous owner, there are often unused credits leftover. You inherit all unused credits or reservations.

Q: When do credits expire?
A: Credits are good for two years in a WorldMark membership and then up to 13 months when applied to a reservation.


Q: What do I need to know about Bonus Time?
A: Currently the price is 4.6 ($0.046) cents per credit with a minimum fee of $30 per night; Bonus Time cannot be used for the resorts in Australia. You can use 1-4 days per week, 52 weeks per year. You are allowed one weekend per quarter.

Q.  What is an exchange? 
A.  An exchange is the depositing of your week with an exchange and then the requesting of a week to use in place of the week you are depositing.  The exchange company does not have to find someone to use your week before they will give you an exchange. Once you deposit the week you are done with it. It is very important to deposit your week early to have more power with your week.  Each exchange company has slightly different rules for exchanging.  There is a fee involved in exchanging your week.
What an exchanges can do for you:

• Give you access to over 7000 resorts world-wide.
• Allow you to use fewer points per vacation - doubling (or more) the vacations you are able to take each year.
• Potential to upgrade into a larger unit, at a nicer resort, for fewer points than a standard WM condo.

What Companies Offer Exchange Services:
Interval International (II) www.intervalworld.com
Resort Condominiums International (RCI) www.rci.com
Q.  What is a "season" in timeshare? 
A.  Seasons are depicted by the exchange companies in colors.  RCI color codes are red, white and blue pertaining to exchanging during certain times of the year for each resort
based on how high the demand is for time of year.
Red time = greater demand
White time = average demand
Blue time = lesser demand
For I.I. Interval International, the same concept applies, but the I.I. colors for the same seasonal demand periods, are Red, Yellow, and Green.
