We bought a 4- bedroom unit at Orlando but unfortunately the resort doesn't have the facility to place for rent via the Resort management. I wish they did because sometimes we do not use all weeks and would like to rent. But thank you jons29 for the tip, I shall bring the issue with the resort itself as I have learned through friends and this forum that there are resorts that provide these facilities. We do sometimes feel like walking away from timeshares too!!! prices keep going up and up from the resort, the exchange company!!!

Personally I would recommend trying to rent units yourself. Management usually takes a decent fee. Try listing on Redweek and/or other sites, along with a local newspaper ad, depending on your local. Just don't wait until the last minute and Sunday's are usually best.

Thank you for your advice. We are not Redweek members yet and like some of the testimonials I have read, we have not been that lucky to receive emails from people wanting to exchange the week we have posted; we are taking the free exchange promotion which has been extended until March 18. We had a bad experience with people claiming that they can rent/exchange our units, once they got the money, we never heard from them, they seemed so genuine, they made fools of us. We are members of Interval and sometimes we do not get our choices, we compromise most of the time. Should we become members of Redweek? your opinions are welcome
