WorldMark TravelShare Reviews

WorldMark by Wyndham lied and deceived us into signing a contract. They fraudulently opened a credit card in our names and put $7309.80. While doing a monthly check on our credit we came across this charge and our jaws dropped. In addition to this little piece of fraud, they also told us we were making a real estate investment, and we could generate rental income to pay for the timeshare. I can’t believe we fell for that one – timeshares are practically worthless. By the way, their resorts are NOT exclusive to their owners as we were told. Worldmark rents their rooms across just about every travel platform online for significantly cheaper than what we pay as owners. Please…take my advice and avoid Worldmark, in fact avoid all timeshares as you will enter into a contract for life and be forever indebted to them.

We have been members for over 20 years!!!! When we started this, it was awesome, now, not so much. I can NEVER book the resorts I want, even if I get on within seconds of them "being released". My fees keep going up and my experience keeps getting worse! Even resorts we used to be able to book are no longer available. They don't care about their owners, once you're in, you are nothing!

Taking the time to read reviews on several different different sites, I’m in the vast majority that Feels they were tricked or pressured into being financially exploited. My question to Worldmark, is there definition of taking pride in owner satisfaction. I’ve been a member since 2003. Never been late for a payment, I felt tricked into $150.00 by not “opting out” of owner protection. I seen what I did, and was talking to a Walmart planning guide in less than five minutes. Three months later and more phone calls than I can count they’re going to lose a loyal owner. If giving me my $150 back is not considered their number one priority of “owner satisfaction” what is?

We are Worldmark owners since 2009 and recently purchased more points, which we have done upgrades over the years. Instead of adding to our existing account they opened a new account and put the points in it. Now instead of being a silver elite owner we are in the lowest owner of two accounts. They want me to pay another $400.00 to correct their mistake. If we were to do it all over again knowing the things we have been going through I wish we would have run away.

STAY AWAY!!! Liars. It’s a scheme of the century. Please stay away. We’ve been members for 18 years and our credit card got expired - We missed three payments, and they put us on collection without any notice. Without any notice!!!

The website is a joke, it tells you rooms are available & they are not, when you call in to the reservation line, I am told, "Oh it's a ghost room...." It's also really hard to navigate through the website... Fix it.

Me and my husband were trapped from the street by a sales rep for Wyndham WorldMark and offered free lunch, $50 gift card and 1 week of vacation to go listen to a presentation. She insisted on we did not need to buy anything then took $40 as a reservation deposit. We went to see the presentation, it was about the timeshare service they tried to sell, we were not interested. They all acted weird when we turned down 5 different offers they presented. At the end, they did not give any gifts and did not refund us our reservation fee. I was furious, but when I read comments here I am lucky I only lost $40. This is a very big company, I am still amazed how can they stay in business with that level of fraud. Stay away. They are big time scammers.

I own 20,000 points with WorldMark. About 8 months ago, I bought an additional 10,000 to go to a higher tier. But now 8 months later, they still haven’t added the new points to my original account. Don’t trust them.

Unfortunately I have Worldmark Timeshare. I would like to use it, but they do not own property in many of the places that I want to visit, so you must "trade". The cost of getting a membership with RCI, and the exchange fee, is about the same cost as just going online, and getting a condo, hotel stay, etc. without any Timeshare. The annual cost of the timeshare fees continue to rise. I haven't used my timeshare for years! Go to one of their rambling sales pitches, and they'll sell you the timeshare for $$$. So I asked the company if they would buy my shares back, and they said they won't give us anything for it. So basically the timeshare is worthless!!!

We joined Worldmark approximately 20 years ago. It was a good company back then. Now it's horrible, they do not care about their owners. It is hard to get in when we want a weekend. Also maintenance fees keep going up along with housekeeping fees. And now we were booked to go to Leavenworth, Wa for 3 nights (not the 5 nights like we usually go for because we couldn't get a room for the weekend). Anyway, when we got to the pass it was closed so we had to turn around. I called to cancel our reservation and was told they couldn't give back our 1800 pts because I didn't buy the travel insurance. Apparently, just another cost they've added!! If I could I wouldn't have given this company even 1 star at this point. So sorry we ever bought into this travelshare.
