WorldMark TravelShare Reviews

SCAMMERS!!!! The timeshare sales people sell you on something completely different than what this program actually is. They are extremely pushy and we signed a “contract” while literally walking into an uber. When we tried to get out of this because we have been unable to use it apparently all of the lies from the salespeople and the hurried contract which said something different than what we were told by salespeople is now “impossible” to get out of. The corporate lady was insanely unhelpful as well.

Long term ownership 25 years. Booked vacation months in advance! They say the resort is no longer meeting standards so our vacation is canceled! Not 1 but 3 rooms booked for family, No resolution! Except we will give credits back that would expire, Really! They are already ours and it wasn’t our fault our reservations were cancelled by them due to the resort not being up to their standards. Where is the resolution when people are out airfare traveling far? And if you find a resort in the same area now you have to pay a fee. So done! They don’t care about their owners! Giving us our credits back that we already had is a no brainer, where is the Resolution? That’s right there isn’t one. Can’t trust a business that doesn’t value their Owners!

This is the most shady, deceitful company you'll ever deal with. I've had Worldmark for over 10 years and have barely used it. I have spent more than $40,000 on this product and they never let me book anything. I once made an honest mistake and changed the reservation from my own name to my same name and they charged me $100 and said there's nothing they can do about it. This blocked me from being able to make any reservations for over 3 years. I wouldn't wish a WorldMark membership upon my worst enemies. Not to mention, their loans are predatory.

Owner since 2005. It's changed a lot (ownership). Terrible. Sales pressure on owner update, not much availability, maintenance fees to high with annual increase, housekeeping fees increase too much, interest rate too high, bonus time increased. It's not worth buying anymore, it use to be good before the high increase and availability was good. Airbnb and hotels are prices are better with that paying all the extra with the timeshare.

Have been an owner for almost 10 years now. When we first bought into it we were very excited until we realized that once they have your money, they don’t care anymore. My husband is a talker, loves to interact with people. Worldmark obviously doesn’t care about what they tell their clients because sitting in a hot tub in Anaheim with other owners is very telling. They give different accounts of what they have been told, versus what we have been told. Worldmark tells you what you want to hear depending on questions asked. Then you find out, what they have told you isn’t even true. We talked to owners that asked the same questions and received totally different answers.

Attended a sales presentation in Orlando and ended up signing a contract essentially for 10 years. My fault. Was enticed by an offer that Wyndham will deposit points that can be used will pay for maintenance. Found out it is not true. What is irksome is that it sounded too good to be true and I asked for clarification several times and believe I got it - otherwise I wouldn't have signed. Ended up with a new credit card I didn't need and a much bigger payment. Really unhappy with Wyndham but not much I can do except to warn others.

Been a WorldMark owner since 2007. We used a gift certificate over the last few days for a relative. They went to a sales pitch program by Worldmark were told they would be earning points for us as a Worldmark owner. Guess what it was a lie.!!! You have to take a credit card to something you don’t want in order to get the point in the points aren’t even good for one night. Stay anywhere. They are always raising the dues and take it away. We used to get a guest certificate per year in a housekeeping and they just took that all the way all the way and just raised our dues. Don’t buy into this sales pitch. their company is nothing but a fraud.

Horrible company!! Do not waste your money. It is like you are buying into the worst SCAM ever. RUN! They harass you every time you are trying to be on a peaceful vacation. They just look at you as a wallet instead of a human. All they want is your money.

We have been able to make this timeshare work for us over the past 20 years, but it has been anything but easy. Wyndham bought Worldmark years ago, and then asked all of us to "upgrade" to TravelShare, ie. spend more money to buy more. We have not, and in many ways are treated like unwanted step children. About 3 years ago, WM "upgraded" their website, and it is still not working correctly. We have had trouble making reservations for 3 years now, and have been told every year "sorry, we are aware of website issues". We often cannot see availability, sometimes the website shows availability but when you try to book you are denied booking due to "no availability". Reservations is not open when the booking window opens, so if you can't book on the website at popular locations, you are basically out of luck..."sorry". No accommodation of this know problem, now for the last 3 years.

I had a timeshare with them for over 10 years and it was the worst ever! Everytime I went to book something there was never anything available even 1 year out. Monthly fees went up every single year along with other charges. I would never want a timeshare from them again even if it was free. When you finally book something more fees are applied and when you on your vacation they bother you every day!!! Stay away from these timeshares. I'm so glad I was able to sell it.
