What Is WorldMark TravelShare?
TravelShare is WorldMark by Wyndham’s optional benefits program for owners who bought from the developer or opted in. WorldMark’s own owner-guide copy (fetched 2026-08-16) says benefits may be awarded “if you opted into the TravelShare program – now known as VIP by WorldMark,” and dates the launch to November 5, 2006. The current VIP by WorldMark page still answers “Why is the TravelShare and TravelShare Elite program being updated?” Official VIP tiers start at Bronze (15,000–29,999 credits). This site’s WorldMark file already says TravelShare does not transfer to resale buyers — only the underlying Credits do. Credits themselves rent for 7¢–14¢ on the live point-values table; a typical 10,000-credit year on that file is about $700–$1,400. This page does not replace /brands/worldmark.
Official name: VIP by WorldMark (formerly TravelShare)
We fetched WorldMark by Wyndham's owner-guide page on credits and benefits. It states, in those words, that benefits may be awarded “if you opted into the TravelShare program – now known as VIP by WorldMark,” and it dates TravelShare to November 5, 2006. The current VIP by WorldMark page still titles FAQs around updating TravelShare and TravelShare Elite.
Official VIP credit bands on that page (not invented here): Bronze 15,000–29,999; Silver 30,000–44,999; Diamond 45,000–64,999; Platinum 65,000–84,999; Founders 85,000+. Those are VIP membership tiers, not the ownership-size tiers on our WorldMark file (5,000–7,000 / 7,500–14,000 / 14,000–20,000 / 20,000+). We are not mixing the two into one fake chart.
What it does — and what resale does not get
Official benefit types named on the credits page: Club Pass, Club Wyndham South Pacific, affiliate hotels, VIP Benefits, housekeeping and guest-certificate extras, and Wyndham Rewards conversion for opted-in VIP credits. The VIP page publishes a conversion of 1,000 VIP-eligible credits = 3,500 Wyndham Rewards points (program rules apply). We are not inventing a TravelShare purchase price — that page is a contact form, not a public rate card.
This site's WorldMark file already says TravelShare is offered to developer-direct purchasers and does not transfer to resale buyers. That is why resale Credits trade below developer-direct. This answer does not replace the WorldMark worth page.

What is WorldMark TravelShare?
It is the developer-side benefits layer on WorldMark, The Club — extra reservation access (affiliate resorts, Club Wyndham South Pacific, later Wyndham Rewards conversion) on top of annual Credits. WorldMark’s published owner guide now calls the same program VIP by WorldMark. Launch date on that guide: November 5, 2006.
Is TravelShare the same as WorldMark Credits?
No. Credits are the ownership currency you use to book WorldMark resorts. TravelShare / VIP is an opt-in or developer-purchase benefits package that rides along with certain credits. Resale buyers get the Credits, not TravelShare — that sentence is already on this site’s WorldMark file and matches the official “opted into” language.
Do I get TravelShare if I buy WorldMark on the resale market?
No. Our WorldMark file: TravelShare benefits do not transfer to resale buyers. Official copy awards Club Pass / affiliate / VIP benefits for pre-November 5, 2006 credits or credits purchased from the developer / opted into VIP.
Does Timeshare Rental Pros buy WorldMark credits?
Yes. WorldMark is a TRP-supported program. They pay cash up front for unused annual Credits, typically within 24 hours, with no owner fee. That is a sale of the year’s credits — not a sale of TravelShare.
