Owner confirmation revisited... (by KC):

Also, if a guest certificate is needed then that should throw up a big red flag as it would more than likely be an exchange from RCI or II which is illegal (renting RCI or II exchanges).

While this is correct (and was mentioned already in a preceding post), no conversation between advertiser / owner and potential renter should ever even reach a point where a RCI or II "Guest Certificate" even gets a CHANCE to be mentioned at all to begin with.

Specifically, if the advertiser is the legitimate actual owner, then the owner info voluntarily provided to the potential renter can be (and definitely should be) independently confirmed by the potential renter directly with the resort. If, on the other hand, the advertiser is NOT the actual owner, but is instead someone trying to improperly rent out an "exchange" obtained from II or RCI, then that improper advertiser *WON"T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE OWNER INFORMATION DETAILS* to the prospective renter, since such a non-owner advertiser would have NO KNOWLEDGE of the actual, real owner name, address, and phone number in the first place!

In short summary: If there is no owner i.d. info "match", no further conversation is necessary (beyond saying "goodbye") --- and no rental!
