It is that time of year again for the Timeshare Traveler to start thinking about next year... What to do with the new set of points and the refreshed set of perks. And what about the use of Vacasa in 2024? This leads to Worldmark being an interesting value.

There are many reasons why people can feel like timeshares are a scam. I don't necessarily disagree with how people feel. In some cases people made a decision based on lies or they made a purchase that wasn't big enough to be useful, or they didn't ever learn how to use the timeshare. All of...
I enjoyed the Worldmark Clear Lake. It is an out of the way place that is a good place for me to unwind. There are local wineries and of course there is the lake. A lot of people rent a pontoon boat on the lake. I love walking out on the pier in the morning with my coffee and just stare out...

I've just finished my first celebration trip using timeshares as a way to celebrate. In the past I had used timeshares as both a way to have a good vacation, but also as an alternative way to live and travel at the same time.

In this video, I show you how you can save money by stretching your points... And by using Interval International and RCI to book last minute deals (Getaways or Last Call). The end result of this strategy is that you don't need to own as many points or pay as much in Maintenance fees...
