Hi All,

It is a violation of RCI and II rules to rent a unit that was obtained via exhange. If caught RCI/II will cancel your account and you lose all deposited weeks too.

Some resorts (especially Disney) have taken to question people with guest certificates upon checkin. If the renter admits it was a rental, they are turned away homeless fro the week.

Read the rules, they are on both websites.

And don't attack me, I do not like these rules but share them only so that potential renters do not get burned.

Don't believe me? Just call RCI or II and ask for yourself.

PS. They catch people every day, read some of the postings on TUG2.NET for war stories.

I undetstand the point here, but why do sales people at many resorts tell potential buyers that "you can even rent your week to family and friends as a way to pay maintenance fee, etc?

The salesperson is correct. You CAN rent YOUR week. You just can't bank your own week with an exchange company, accept an exchange, and then rent that EXCHANGE WEEK (which you don't own).

You may also be able to make an Internal Exchange within your own resort group (if it allows internal exchanges) and rent out that week.

You would usually need to get a Guest Confirmation when you know who the renter will be. Whether that requires a fee, depends on your own resort/resort group policies.
