TravelShare 101: What WorldMark Owners Should Know

If you own a WorldMark timeshare, you’ve probably heard of TravelShare — the owner program from WorldMark by Wyndham. The Winter 2022 issue of WorldMark Destinations magazine ran a feature breaking it all down. Here’s the plain-English version.

**What is TravelShare?**

TravelShare is an add-on program for WorldMark owners. Owners holding 7,000 or more TravelShare-qualified credits can enroll, and the more credits you own, the higher your tier — unlocking progressively richer benefits.

**The headline benefits**

– **RCI exchange membership** — automatic enrollment in one of the world’s largest timeshare exchange networks, opening up thousands of resorts beyond the WorldMark system.
– **Complimentary Wi-Fi** at WorldMark-managed resorts.
– **Personal Choice** — put up to your annual credit allotment toward other qualified travel options.
– **Complimentary housekeeping** with each WorldMark resort reservation.
– Tier-dependent extras like TravelShare exclusive offers, Wyndham Rewards redemption options, enhanced FAX time pricing, and more.

**One thing to know before you buy or sell**

TravelShare is a developer program tied to developer-purchased credits (or credits owned before November 2006, or transferred from immediate family). The benefits can change at any time, and they generally don’t transfer to a buyer if you sell on the resale market — worth factoring into any buy or sell decision.

**The takeaway for owners**

If you’re sitting on WorldMark credits and not using the exchange or travel options, you may be leaving real value on the table. And if your travel plans have changed and those weeks are going unused, renting them out can turn idle ownership into income.
