1. Manager’s Message
Hello and welcome to redseason‘s March 2011 Newsletter!
Well, it took us a while this month, but we got it done! The Flu hit Matt in the beginning of March and put everything on hold for a few weeks. Everything else is going great and we are excited for spring to arrive and hopefully there will be sunny weather ahead!
Please be sure to check out our current inventory. Remember, we will pay you $100 dollars for a referral to us! We love to hear from people that come recommended from our customers!
See us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/redseasoncom/172124076143999
Blessings,
Matt & Darcy

3. Just For Fun Contest
Congratulations to Lee Brown, February’s winner of a $40.00 dollar Amazon gift card.
This month is a no brainer. Gas prices are high. We will be easing the pain with a $50.00 gas card.
E-mail us with “Free Gas” in the subject line to enter March’s “Just for Fun” contest.
4. Referral Policy
We reward you for your referral to redseason.com. We will send you your reward of $100.00 when you refer your friends and family to us and they purchase a WorldMark membership from redseason.com. Just be sure they mention your name!
5. Vacation Highlights
If you would like to have your vacations published I would be more than happy to place your adventures or misadventures : ) in one of our upcoming newsletters for other owners to read. Just e-mail worldmark@redseason.com with “Vacation Highlights” in the subject. I always enjoy reading about vacations from another perspective because it gives me ideas of where to go and what to do, even where to eat and I think other owners feel the same way, that they would like input as well on where to go and what to do to make the most of their WorldMark membership.
6. Editorial
This month, in continuation on my previous discussions on Travelshare, I would like to focus on “affiliate resorts” and how your credits might be showing up on your accounts.
Before Travelshare was introduced in 2006, Worldmark allowed owners to use credits to book affiliate resorts, such as Worldmark South Pacific, Trendwest, (now Wyndham). When Travelshare was introduced, that took over as the program that you had to have to be able to book affiliate resorts without doing an exchange.
What Wyndham did for previous owners though was grandfather in everyone that had purchased Pre-2006 with the ability to use their credits for affiliate resorts even if they were not enrolled in Travelshare. That is why in your account online; you may see credits designated as:
WM
WM+A
The WM+A designation means you can use those credits to book Wyndham affiliate resorts. If you just have WM, you would have to use an exchange to book outside of Worldmark, and of course, if you have Travelshare, those credits are eligible to use Wyndham affiliate resorts as well.
If you have purchased on the secondary market AFTER 2006 when Travelshare was introduced, those credits are not eligible for Travelshare, nor are they eligible to have the +A added to them to be able to utilize Wyndham affiliate resorts or Worldmark South Pacific. A person would have to do an exchange to be able to book outside of Worldmark.
Redseason’s position still is that for most people, especially if you do not travel overseas much, access to the affiliate resorts is not a huge deal, when an exchange can be done for a little bit of money. Who is to say if you do travel overseas, that Wyndham will have an affiliate resort where you are going anyway? Even if you had Travelshare, you may end up still having to do an exchange. That is why Wyndham gives Travelshare members a “free” RCI membership, so they can do exchanges when needed.
Luckily for those of us without Travelshare, or grandfathered credits, we can also be members of RCI and not really see a loss in benefits. It’s still a great deal to purchase on the secondary market and Redseason hopes to be around for a long time to serve customers that need to sell and continue to provide great deals for people looking to add credits for all their Worldmark needs!
