Re: Marriott Vacation Club New Policy - Can’t Do Rentals? No long can change the primary guest name for Ownership Week Reservation? (by James M.):

I really think people may be overreacting to this guest form to fill out. "Commercial Use" in the form can't possibly mean I'm prohibited from renting my time share out to people to use it for "private use". Honestly, Marriott has their own service to rent out owner's timeshares. "Commercial use" means don't use your timeshare as a mini hotel. For example, don't Airbnb your week in 1 or 2 day segments without giving Marriott guest info!

Maybe I'm wrong, but Marriott may actually have a valid point here and this policy may actually help owners. For example, I don't want somebody renting 3 days from Redweek to think that some random individual is cleaning up their room to prepare for a new guest. This could potentially hurt all rentals on Redweek. I want them to know Marriott is cleaning their room up to prepare for a new guest. Additionally, getting "companies" involved splitting up weeks to try the raise the rental price per day of renting might actually be lowering the price of renting a typical week that belongs to an owner like me.

Let's just see how this one plays out....
