How do I get rid of my Worldmark Timeshare?

While every owner's situation is unique, most WorldMark owners who no longer want their ownership generally have three primary options:

• Sell or give away the ownership to a new owner through the resale market.
• Explore any available surrender or relinquishment options offered directly by WorldMark.
• Stop paying and allow the ownership to go into default (typically considered a last-resort option due to the potential consequences).

Each option has its own advantages, disadvantages, costs, and risks. The best choice will depend on factors such as the size of your ownership, whether your maintenance fees are current, your financial goals, and how quickly you want to end your ownership.

In this guide, we'll explain the basics of each approach so you can better understand your options and make an informed decision before paying any third-party exit company.

If you need additional help, have questions about your specific situation, or want advice from experienced owners who have successfully exited WorldMark ownerships themselves, visit the TUG WorldMark Owner Forum. The forum is free to use and contains decades of discussions, owner experiences, and practical advice from one of the largest WorldMark owner communities online.

If giving back my worldmark timeshare is so easy, why dont more owners use it?

One of the biggest reasons many owners never take advantage of WorldMark's owner assistance programs is simply because they don't know those programs exist.

Like most timeshare developers, WorldMark is not actively marketing exit or surrender options to the general public. As a result, owners who become frustrated with rising maintenance fees, changing travel habits, or simply no longer needing their ownership often turn to Google looking for help.

Unfortunately, a search for terms such as "get out of a WorldMark timeshare" or "cancel WorldMark points" will often return page after page of companies promising an easy exit—for a substantial upfront fee.

Many owners mistakenly assume these companies are their only option. In reality, some owners may qualify for programs offered directly through WorldMark or may have other low-cost alternatives available to them. That's why it is so important to research all of your options before paying thousands of dollars to a third-party exit company.

The simple truth is that if owners were fully aware of every available option, many would likely choose to contact WorldMark directly before paying someone else to do it for them.

Am I truly out of my Worldmark Timeshare?

This is hard to believe, can you prove this program works?

Absolutely! Wyndham Ovations/Cares/Exit has been in existence for years and was first announced on TUG back in 2016. Since then hundreds if not thousands of Owners have discovered this info thru TUG and successfully ended their Worldmark ownerships at zero cost to them! You can view the full discussion thread here that is still active with owners finding it every single week! Official Wyndham/Worldmark Timeshare Surrender Program.

These are the lucky ones like yourself, unfortunately the rest likely pay some random company a fortune to do something they could have done themselves for free!

What if I dont want to just give it away for free?

Unfortunately with few exceptions, there is very little resale value for worldmark credits on the open market.

This isnt just limited to worldmark though, it is important to understand that resale values for timeshares are almost always dramatically lower than their original retail purchase prices. Before listing your ownership for sale, we recommend researching recent resale activity and setting realistic expectations regarding its current market value.

If you decide to pursue the resale route, start with the TUG How to Sell Your Timeshare Guide. This free resource explains how to sell a timeshare yourself, avoid common scams, and reach thousands of active timeshare buyers without paying large upfront fees.

If your primary goal is simply to end your ownership as quickly as possible, don't overlook the possibility of giving it away. TUG operates one of the largest Free Timeshare Giveaway sections on the internet, where owners can advertise qualifying timeshares for free to potential new owners. Many owners have successfully transferred unwanted ownerships this way, often avoiding the expense and uncertainty of using a third-party exit company.

Can I just stop paying for my Worldmark Timeshare?

If you have exhausted all other options and or you still owe a loan balance, all owners are able to exit an unwanted timeshare by simply defaulting on the payments. While not an appealing option at face value, every owners situation is different and you may discover that this is the "least bad" option for you.

This is such an important topic for Timeshare owners that we created a full video explaining your real options, common mistakes, and how to avoid paying thousands to upfront-fee exit companies.

The Final Word on Exiting a Worldmark Timeshare!

Unlike many third-party timeshare exit companies, any owner assistance, surrender, or relinquishment program offered directly by WorldMark or Wyndham allows you to work with the company that actually manages the ownership. There is no middleman, no sales pitch, and no need to rely on a third party to communicate on your behalf.

Because programs and eligibility requirements can change over time, owners should always contact WorldMark directly to learn about the options that may currently be available. A simple phone call could potentially save you thousands of dollars and help you avoid paying unnecessary fees to a third-party exit company.

For many owners, exploring resale, giveaway, transfer, or direct owner-assistance programs should be among the first steps taken before considering any paid exit service. Taking the time to understand all available options can help you make the best decision for your specific situation.
