I own a floating week every year at The Point at Poipu (formerly Embassy Vacation Resort) in Kauai and am wondering if I should try and sell the week or rent it out. I know I would lose money by selling but I get so frustrated trying to exchange (currently trying to find a place in Vancouver, BC for over 9 months for Jun-Aug 08 without success). If I want to rent out my week should I list it for any week Jan-Dec 08 and let the prospective renter select the date they wish or should I select a specific week, call the resort. reserve it and then place the listing for that week? Also what procedure is required to rent thru RCI?

I also have not banked my week for 2007. Would it be possible at this late date to find a week that someone might want to rent for this year. I would only like to be able to get a reasonable rate to possibly recoop the majority of my annual fees.

I am totally lost at this and I must admit that I do not understand anything about this process and would appreciate any advise.

============== You posted this question in different areas and you can check my reply to your other post. But to expand on the specific question of renting for this year. It’s possible, but at this late date it may be difficult. Check out the RedWeek exchange program. While you may not see anything you like, if you bank your week with RedWeek you’d have three years to make an exchange. Are you a member of Interval International? You might have a better selection of exchange availabilities and unlike RCI, you can request an exchange before you bank your week.

RE: “Also what procedure is required to rent thru RCI?” Fellow posters, correct me if I’m wrong, but you cannot rent your unit through RCI.
