Re: How can I rent a timeshare? (by Derek S.):

Okay, if I have someone (friend/family), who wants to vacation somewhere, and I use my points and book the exchange through RCI, I would have my friend/family pay the exchange fee and guest pass on their credit card. Then, however, couldn't they technically give me a gift--monetary or other that would be equal to the point value used? Could a gift be considered renting? Also Fairfield points can be rented, can they only be rented by other owners? Could the person possibly rent the points from me first, and I then just book the exchange? I'm just curious as to how RCI could prevent these two scenarios... JH
RCI cannot prevent anything, if you own a deeded property ( I.E. a week or two or three etc.) at a resort, that is your property for that week. You may choose to do whatever you would like with it. I own a week at The Grandview in Las Vegas through RCI. I am under the points system, not the weeks system so i recieve a certain amount of points depending on what week i own. I may choose to do whatever i like with those points whether its booking a week at the resort with my points and having someone else stay there, as long as they have a guest certificate.
