Re: I'll search

Roadsister,

I'll go and search to find the answer, I think Jim came up with that shocking figure. Give me a day or so, I'm on vacation.

Thanks Perry....go enjoy your vacation where ever you are

I would like to add 5000 points to my existing account. Who are the resellers out there these days besides Redseason, and what's the going price for 5000 points?

Lisa,
Sorry this thread got hijacked by some of us....you were asking about resalers to BUY more credits, not rent.

Not seen any resalers that sell 5,000 credit memberships but I'm sure they are out there.

Of course the Forum was "compromised" and is now down.....QUOTE]

I saw that...they have a new version software so hope this won't happen again...some people have too much time on their hands I guess.

Hi Faye! Don't be sorry. I enjoy reading this thread. After reading yours and others' posts, I am not sure I need more points. I'll check out wmowners.com for credit rental when the time comes. Gosh I haven't been there for so long that I don't even remember my login and password

AS Perry said...renting is great as long as you keep track of when the points expire....
I wouldn't pay more than 5 cents per credit so something to watch for.
Good Luck

To read the rental forum (and many others such as Timeshare Tips & Tricks where the Inventory Specials are listed including July, August and September) you don't need to log in. You do when you want to communicate with the sellers in private messages, however. You will also need to sign in to read the forums where issues are discussed, e.g. Worldmark/Trendwest/Cendant Discussions, Owner Alerts. Those have lots of useful information.

P.S. There is no membership fee for the ability to sign in.

Re: I'll search

Roadsister,

I'll go and search to find the answer, I think Jim came up with that shocking figure. Give me a day or so, I'm on vacation.

It's my recollection that the number came from the Worldmark board in a conversation with Jim Pappas. I'm pretty sure it was a ballpark number, not meant to be taken as exactly 25.0%, and that it varies a bit each year. You would expect the number to go up over time, as there are more and more older members and just more members in general.

BTW, that 25% number is not high in the industry, from what I've seen. One resort I'm intimately familiar with is probably closer to 75%.

Just as a FYI - the WM4M is back up, with new software. They've kept all the old posts and it seems to work just like the old one did.

There are continually new credits for rent ads appearing there. You have to be registered as an owner to access the credit rental section. That applies both to the person offering the credits for rent and the person needing to rent the credits. Since only an owner would have credits available or could use rented credits that is not a problem. You can access the WorldMark forum at

I am not familiar with using WorldMark, but this thread interests me. Do you have to be an owner of WorldMark to rent credits from others? In other words, as a non-owner of WorldMark can I rent credits and then use the WorldMark system to make a reservation? If the answer is no, then can't I work around this by paying the owner for the credits and then having the owner make the reservation for me. Thanks.

You have to be an owner to rent credits. But yes, an owner can book for you as guests.

You have to be a owner to rent credits and use the WM system. Yes you could go through an owner and there is no extra charge involved when an owner books for a quest. The owner however is responsible for the unit though so most owners are very selective in doing it. I have done it for friends but they have to be someone that I trust.

Is the ability to rent Worldmark points an option available only to owners already within the Worldmark system, or can an outsider/non Worldmark owner rent points and have the points transferred to their II account for a later exchange?

 

[PerryM]

You must have a WM account to deposit the rented credits. 6,000 WM credits is the minimum size for a WM account (Ok, 5,000 but hard to buy one of those).
