I thought someone said you can't use resale points to book Worldmark resorts but hopefully someone else will be able to answer that correctly. I can answer the other part of your question. I'm also not sure about the Margaritaville resorts. Other than maybe those two things you can use your points to book any of the other Wyndham resorts. I would have added except for the presidential reserve units held for those owners until 30 days before check in but if you aren't a PR owner I gather that you won't even see those units when you check for availability at a resort.

Generally, Wyndham resale points cannot be used to book WorldMark resorts directly. There is an exchange mechanism between the two systems, but only points purchased from the developer can be used in it.

Resorts with both "brands" are an exception. For example Austin has a single building that has both Wyndham and WorldMark units. You are still booking "Wyndham" units, but they aren't that much different---maybe marginally nicer, but not by much, and not always.

Resell Wyndham will not allow you to use Club Pass to book worldmark. What you can do is deposit Wyndham points into your included RCI account and then exchange into WM if you want a worldmark unit.

The Phoenix South Mountain Pass Worldmark resort tends to be on Inventory Special Frequently during summer months. Meaning Worldmark owners can book it for cash at $0.066 per credit including housekeeping fees, but minimum fee of $65 per night for 1 bedroom. Weekends would be about $113 night for a 1 bedroom. Makes a great stop if you are flying in/out. Resort is about 8 miles from Airport.
