I currently have a Permission Addendum on my parents WM account to help them manage it. Due to health issues they aren't using it and have offered it to me. They have 20,000 points and don't have a loan. Dues are about $1300anually which includes Travelshare. I have used their points over the years at Worldmark resorts, once used Club Pass, an RCI exchange, and a few Bonus Time stays. We are trying to determine if this will work for us. If I'm understanding correctly there is a transfer fee of $299. Are there any other fees? Would all of their benefits transfer to us as well? I think they got Travelshare free the last time they added on. If this is gifted to us do we have to pay taxes on it and if so, on what amount? Until we retire, I'm not sure we would use all 20,000 points each year, but I think I could rent at least enough of them to cover the dues each year to co-workers. I did recently rent some out and it went well. I should mention we also have DVC points and like that they will expire by the time we are too old to use them. This is a concern I have about WM as I don't want to be stuck paying dues for the rest of my life. Does this seem like a gift worth accepting?
