Please don’t judge. Impulse buy with contract signed Monday night. In Oregon so 5 day cancellation. Want to get rescind letter postmarked by tomorrow if I hear what I expect to hear. Honesty is appreciated.
My wife and I signed up for a modest package at a Worldmark talk in Portland, OR. We live near Portland so seem to be plenty of driveable spots in WM. details below
1 - Just under $20K total, 10000 points with 10000 bonus points to be used within 12 months. Paid fully, no financing.
2 - Maintenance fees $83/mo, roughly $1000 per year. Was told that rates increase less than 5% per year. That was not comforting but I conveniently ignored it after a bit. Long term, this level of increase would be brutal.
2 - 8d/7nt trip for attending the talk
3 - 4 RCI weeks as a “bonus” able to use in any amount of time as they say they will reissue if not used in first 1-2 years
I knew nothing of the secondary market until after the fact bc (as stated above) I’m an idiot. One of the rare times I didn’t over research beforehand.
Financially this won’t hurt us but definitely do not want to overpay as our main point is to force us to vacation more (something we did greatly before baby life began).
Loved idea of Last calls, bonus time, etc. I was told there is no need to exchange points in accessing the BT and LCs.
Also attended a talk about VI/II and liked what we heard about the cash rental options.
Overall just want to be sure I am not overpaying which I assume I am. Brutal honesty please.
