Bought my first resale Worldmark. Transfer company sent me a pre authorized auto pay form which requires notarizing.

Seems like an unnecessary step and inconvenience. I have contract number and member number couldn’t I just create online account and set up online?

I dont recall having to fill out an auto-pay plan to get my membership started.

The website does have a section for registering your account. Only the owner number is required, and then after it is verified they send you a temp password. I would give it a try.

I think it's optional. When I bought my resale WorldMark account a year ago I was given that same autopay form. I told the Seller I was not interested in setting up autopay, so I didn't return that form. The Seller said they offered it because WM provided it. The deal went through just fine. And here I am, a year later, and I still do not have autopay.

I presume that if I wanted autopay later I could simply sign up when my account is set up online?

Yes. There is on-line form for doing so.

I bought my last account from an eBay seller who wanted me to send the forms back to them (not to Worldmark). I didn't fill out the autopay form, because I didn't think the ebay seller (whom I didn't particularly trust to be careful with my personal information) needed my credit card/expiry floating around their office. The transaction went through fine, and I signed up for auto-pay after the transaction closed easily.
