Re: Re: Renting Out Timeshare Getaway Weeks (by KC):

<snip> The entire reason why I purchased my vacation ownership membership was for the promise that I could rent out or sell the getaways from Interval International. I'm trying to navigate it and figure out the process now to see if it is true. My plan was to use the profits from this Revenue stream to pay for my membership and to make additional income. I was told that you can list them on Airbnb. I will be working over the next week to figure this out.

It won’t take much "work" to learn / confirm that both II and RCI prohibit (as clearly stated in writing in their terms and conditions of membership) the renting out of weeks obtained as exchanges, Getaways, Last Calls, or Extra Vacations. It doesn’t matter one bit where you might attempt to “list” them; the rental practice itself is expressly prohibited.

You won’t find that sales weasel “promise” expressed in writing anywhere within your purchase contract or associated documents, for the simple reason that it is a completely false statement. Whether it was a deliberate lie or an innocent mistake, you were nonetheless misinformed on the true and accurate facts concerning the allowed use of II Getaways.

P.S. Your self-described "financial plan" in purchasing whatever timeshare product you bought was unfortunately flawed and evidently based upon a totally inaccurate (and legally meaningless) verbal statement by a sales weasel. I don't know what you purchased or where or when, but if you are still within your contract rescission period (maximum 10 days after contract execution, depending on the state where the contract was actually executed), you might want to pursue rescinding (cancelling) that contract. However, if it has been more than 10 days since contract execution (it's 10 days for Florida and Tennessee, 5-7 days in most states, and only 3 days in a few states), then contract rescission (cancellation) is no longer an available option.
