Then they have no choice but rent their own unit if they want!
Stopping these people would seen notice to all these others hoping for quick buck that one time and your done.
Someone needs to start cleaning the timeshare business up and that includes removing up front companies and all these other sleeze bags in the timeshare world! PHIL
phil, there have been cases where RCI and II expelled members for rentng exchanges, however many people don't know that this rule exists unless they read forums like these. That's why Redweek forums are so important.
I do agree that the timeshare industry needs a major overhaul from top to bottom. The word timeshare had a very bad reputation back in the early 1980's then they finally cleaned up their act with the advent of high end timeshares like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and others entering the field, but then upfront fee resale companies, postcard companies and other scams entered the field and now timesharing is once again a 'bad word' due to the millions of people that have been taken. It's sad that such a large industry allows all the scams involved since timesharing is not regulated.
I keep repeating the mantra that 'exchanges are not allowed to be rented' to inform those that have not seen the message here.
====== Phil and jayjay agree? Will wonders never cease!
I read all the rules and regulations for RCI WEEKS and RCI POINTS on line today--about 20 pages each--so I can give you chapter and verse if need be, but it's no great wonder that everybody does not attempt this.
