Re: Renting exchanged RCI weeks is expressly prohibited (by Tracey S.):
Other considerations, by renting out an RCI exchange week you are removing inventory that another member might have wanted to exchange into. If 20% of all RCI members started to reserve the most desirable weeks with the intention of renting for profit then you are hurting the other members looking for a great exchange.
Next your rental at this resort that you don't own at may either undercut owners at that resort (who may have a higher MF) and they can't rent out because you are offering your non sanctioned "rentals" for less or if you are are offering them for the same amount you may be profiting far above the owners that bought at that resort and pay fees to that resort and legitimately have the right to rent. You are subletting when you have no right to do so.
If you have a one time thing where you reserved an exchange and then find you can't use it, gift it to family or friends. Let them know that it is an exchange and you can't rent it to them but if they quietly want to find some way to pay you back, that's between the two of you. You can't advertise a rental on a paid site like Redweek or even a free site like CL. That's a business transaction. You are advertising and asking for payment. You are also likely not disclosing that you are doing this against the express written terms of the exchange company that you got the inventory from. Even the friend thing if it starts to become more than once in a blue moon you need to either take the loss or stop depositing with the exchange company. Use or rent out what you own or let it go to waste.
