richie, you did exactly what you needed to do by checking with the resort to make sure you were renting from an owner and not an exchanger. This method promotes peace of mind before traveling to your vacation destination.

I rented a timeshare and did call the place to be sure person was owner of that unit and week. Because they changed weeks for me I wasn't sure whgich unit I would get but it worked out fine I just returned from Aruba 2 weeks ago. Good luck.It is a lot less expensive than renting same place from hotel

But, jayjay, what do you make of richiel's comment about " because they changed weeks for me I wasn't sure which (sp) unit I would get..." ? What is that all about? Certainly you should call to confirm, but what exactly did richiel confirm if they changed weeks for him? Who changed weeks for him/her? Why did they change weeks for him/her? Me thinks that richiel's comment provides more questions than answers! So here is the question.....one more time: Have you had success calling the resort that you are interested in renting into and been able to get the resort to confirm that owner ........... has booked week ..... to ....... and , as an owner at this time share resort, is entitled to rent it for those 7 days. His/her reservation confirmation number is: ______________.

Anybody done this?

The reason the owner changed weeks for me was at Rennaissance you own a specific week,if you can't use it you can ask Rennassiance if they have a certain week available and if you can use another week instead of the week you own. They are wonderful to try to help you out but you can't bank it with them so you need to know before your week is close if you are going to request another week. There is a small fee for changing the week. I have rented from and rented out mine that way but I wouldn't advertise my week as not assigned because it is but if someone wanted to see if I could swap it for another week I would try to do this. It has nothing to do with RCI or Intervale.
