Re: How can I rent a timeshare? (by R P.):

Actually, yes. I think any resort wants to know who is going to be coming even if they do not object to renting. They can't just hand the keys to total strangers who claim they have the right to use the unit you own or have reserved.

My question is, can the owner of the points not make their reservation directly with the resort? Why would RCI even be involved? And if the owner of the points is renting the reservation to someone else, could he/she not just call the front desk and tell them that the reservation is to be put in the renter's name?

I don't see RCI's involvement here unless the owner has deposited his points with RCI for an exchange, then that's a whole different ballgame?
