MD-

I meant charged off credit wise. I did not pay for it ( I was younger than I am now) I bought 10k worldmark credits. I have no idea what it would buy. From what I have been seeing, Worldmark owners have access to about 60 resorts.

I believe that Worldmark now has access to Fairfield/Wyndham resorts as well as the original Worldmarks. However, the points/credits are what tell you how much time and space you can reserve just as how much money you have limits how much you can buy at Sears, even though you have access to many Sears stores.

Flipping through my Fairfield directory, all the Worldmarks I've run across are 2 bedroom units. In Quiet season (lowest) they seem to be running 8,000 points per night, Sunday through Thursday and 18,500 per night Friday and Saturday. One is not usually allowed to reserve a single night.

However, your Worldmark points/credits may need to be converted to work with Fairfield in some way of which I have no knowledge. You really need to contact the resort at which you have your Worldmark contract to learn exactly where you stand and how you can use your ownership.

Unfortunately, this is a good example of the problems people may run into when they buy resale without first understanding A LOT about the resort or resort group they are buying into. GO to timeshare presentations, folks. Ask questions. Let them educate you! What you don't understand before you buy can cost you a lot more than 90 minutes--even it it does stretch into 3 hours. MD
