How to Use Your WorldMark Waitlist

When the vacation dates you want aren’t available, turn to your WorldMark waitlist.

Your owner website puts you in complete control of your waitlist, allowing you to view your active waitlist requests and delete the ones you no longer need. If a match becomes available, you can book it right away or modify the reservation before booking — all online.

How to use your waitlist.
One of your exclusive owner benefits is the ability to add yourself to the waitlist if the WorldMark resort you want to visit is unavailable. While a waitlist request does not guarantee a reservation, the more flexible you are with where and when you travel, the better your chances are for a match. Here are some basic rules for the waitlist benefit:

Waitlist requests may be submitted for any WorldMark, The Club resort
You can have up to four waitlist requests at a time
Most resorts have a waitlist window of 15 days to 13 months prior to arrival date (Exotic locations are 31 days to 13 months prior to arrival date)
Waitlist requests have a minimum number of nights based on the date of the request and the arrival date as well as a maximum of 14 nights
You have 48 hours to respond to accept, modify, or decline your matched offer, otherwise the resort availability will be given to the next owner on the waitlist
If you’re flexible on vacation dates, a waitlist request can be opened up to a 60-day window

Pro tip: If you already have a vacation booked and need one extra night, you can add a one-night waitlist request by calling the Vacation Planning Center.

For more details, please view the Waitlist section on the Guidelines and Policy page.
