I beleive Wyndham and Diamond owners can book any resort in their system and then rent it out (unlike renting an II or RCI exchange), the I suggest searching the RedWishes and the "Rentals Wanted" pages on various websites (vacationtimesharerentals.com tug2.net). I'm not sure if Wyndham owners can sell points to another owner on a yearly basis. Go to the TUG forum (www.tugbbs.com), they have a Wyndham thread and may be able to provide more insight. Good Luck
Thanks for the advice. I recently learned by talking with a Wyndham agent that Wyndham does have some sort in internal rental program, in which they market the rental of owner reserved time for a commission. It appears that Diamond resorts does not have such a program. I am geared up to do serious research on this. Now I also have to wonder about the ethics of dumping points onto to rentals just to salvage some value of those points having expiration dates. I will check out the other URL's you provided when I get some free time.
