Re: vacation international (by Devon S.):

tiana4 I've tried to rent my weeks out over the years, and even hired 2 companies to try to do so, and they never have done one thing. They get my money, and that's it. At least the last company (GMAC) took a $1K, and they stayed in touch with me for a while like they were had someone that wanted to rent, and asked if I would come down on my price, and that they were going to tradeshows introducing my property. After about a year, I never hear from them again.

I too have given money to a place (Resort Solutions, Inc.) - gave them a good chunk of money to "rent" my timeshare. Geez, the last time I heard anything from them was 2008 (when I bought the darn thing), and that was for them to get my card number to pay for the "listings".

However, since then I have rented out my weeks MYSELF and FOR FREE - using www(dot)vacationtimesharerentals(dot)com - and AT NO COST. They give you one year for free, and then it is a small fee, if you wish to keep the ad going. From that FREE ad, I was getting about 3 + inquiries per month, no joke. From that, I managed to rent out several of my weeks (I have 12 weeks in a regular suite, or 4 weeks in a 2 bedroom). The next year (this year), I have rented ALL 12 weeks, and this is without an ad...this is from people that had contacted me the first year, and kept my info. I will be putting in another FREE ad soon for next year (as you don't have to pay ever...but you will need to create a new ad). I will NEVER give money to ANYONE ever again for their "help" in renting units....that is a whole other scam, I think. OH, and the best part, is this is who was suggested by my resort to go thru.

Anyway, maybe those of us on here can trade with each other and use the resorts that way, if we haven't rented them out!!
