Re: Does RCI allow rentals? (by KC):

Fwiw, it's always wise to ask anyone advertising a timeshare rental on ANY site whether or not they are the actual OWNER of the week being advertised.

Both RCI and II clearly prohibit renting out any weeks acquired via "exchange". Accordingly, It's not too smart to participate in a clearly prohibited transaction in which occupancy could actually be denied by the resort at check-in (and, by the way, the violating advertiser's exchange company membership can also be unilaterally terminated).

RedWeek's "verified" option, although a procedural pain (as well as an additional expense) for an advertising owner, provides assurance that the advertised week is indeed OWNED by the person posting the rental ad. I don't frequently rent out our owned timeshare weeks, but whenever I do so I gladly pay the additional fee to have my ad be "RedWeek verified", so that any prospective tenant knows with certainty that I OWN the advertised week(s) and that I can therefore LEGITIMATELY offer my week(s) for rent if / when I choose to do so.
