I'm told I can't trade into the Worldmark locations in Australia because I don't have special credits. I suspect this means what they call travelshare. However, while Worldmark was Trendwest I bought 6000 shares not resale. Then I added 1k shares resale to make it possible to trade every other year. Can anyone clarify this and give me some advice on a way to proceed to be able to trade into Australia? The attraction is being able to book less than a week in each place. I'm wondering if I need to remind Wyndham that the 6 k were not resale and perhaps have to buy some more Travelshare credits.

Thanks
Anita

I assume you are attempting to book WM South Pacific properties using WM+A credits through The Exchange Network (TEN). From your description, you should have at least 6k qualified for that reservation process. What happens if you attempt to book online rather than using a phone rep?

Keep in mind that the booking window for WMSP from a North American WM account is 11 months and you might face a 7-night minimum stay for red season.
