My resale WM eBay purchase just closed, and today, (finally!), I was able to log in to the Worldmark website. I've posted a few threads about this purchase, and you've been pretty helpful helping me figure out what I was buying into. The account has an August 1 anniversary date.

My understanding from the estoppel, and from what the eBay Seller told me about the account, was that I'd receive "full points" in the account, and that the former owner was keeping all points prior to the August 2017 anniversary date. It's a 12K points account, so I expected to receive 12000 credits for 2018, as awarded August 2017, and the 12000 that would be awarded in August 2018, that could currently be borrowed.

However, today, when I finally got into the account I see this:

View attachment 5545

Am I reading this right? From that status, it appears I also got the 12K 2016 credits, right? So I have an extra 12K credits I wasn't expecting to see. So 36K instead of 24K?

Do Housekeeping tokens last as long as credits? The one that expires 8/31/2019 would be from the 2017 year, right? And the one available to borrow would be for the August 2018 anniversary year, but doesn't show an expiration date because it hasn't been issued? Am I reading this right?

I seem to have scored an extra 12K credits I wasn't expecting. If so, <Happy Dance> from me. :)

Dave, who is pretty happy, if this is as it appears. :)

Check reservations too. I bought one that had 17K in Points in reservations I was able to repurpose too.

Got it. Thanks. Seems easy, now that you say it like that, but the logic was escaping me. And the WM website doesn't say, anywhere that I could find.

Good point. When I bought mine fully loaded, after closing I found another 6,700 points "parked" at a reservation, which I needed to call to change it to a different location and date and not lose it by rebooking online.

Nothing extra hiding there. Nice idea, though. :)

I did see the reservation history, though, clear back to 2006. The previous owner liked staying in the same places over and over. Kind of interesting.

I bet that's common. The previous owner of my account to stayed the same 3 places all the time.

One of which was Maui over Christmas two out of every three years.

Interestingly, the account transferred to me with 4 level one wait lists for Maui the next Christmas. I only found out about when the system rejected my own wait list request.
