The verdict
Which is better?
HGVC wins on premium destinations (Hawaii, Vegas, Orlando), brand consistency, and resale recovery. WorldMark wins on flexibility — unused credits automatically carry over one extra year, so inconsistent-year travelers have a buffer before those credits expire. Per-credit value is similar in dollar terms ($0.07–$0.14 for WorldMark vs $0.10–$0.20 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.
