The verdict
Which is better?
HGVC wins on premium destinations (Hawaii, Vegas, Orlando), brand consistency, and resale recovery. WorldMark wins on flexibility — credits don't expire, so inconsistent-year travelers don't lose value. Per-credit value is similar in dollar terms ($0.07–$0.14 for WorldMark vs $0.01–$0.025 for HGVC), and annual rental yield on typical allocations lands in similar ranges. For premium travelers, HGVC. For sporadic travelers with West Coast preferences, WorldMark.
