In reference to this Sticky post by Denise above....
How to confirm that a rental is legit:
First step - ALWAYS ask if they are renting an exchange. RCI* and II do not allow exchanges to be rented, and if you get caught, you can lose the rental and your $$$. You can tell if it is an exchange, when they send you a copy of their confirmation, because it will be a confirmation from the exchange company, not directly from the resort.
This is not always the case. If you own an RCI Points week, and you choose to use your home resort week, you book it through RCI (12 months out.) There is no charge since it it your ownership week, but the process is completed through RCI. If you choose to rent your week at that point, the guest certificate would be issued legitimately through RCI.
This was my experience about 5 years ago. I bought a Ca coastal week that had previously been made into a Points week. The week was far more valuable as a rental or for personal use. I booked my home resort week twice, and found the process rather galling... that I had to book 12 months out in a small window and request a guest cert for a fixed week that I owned. Eventually, I pulled this week out of Points.
This is a rare circumstance, but possible.:)
