Re: Successful Resales & Rental Feedback Wanted (by Mary D.):

Chad, If you are planning to rent your owned timeshare week at the Grandview, what is the connection with RCI?? Is this an RCI Points resort? If so, you can't, as I understand it, rent out an internal RCI Points exchange but you probably can rent out your own personal week. In that case, you should ask Grandview how to go about putting the guest's name on the reservation and whether RCI has any involvement whatsoever. (RedWeek will not exchange RCI Points related resort weeks--or didn't. Maybe things have changed.)

If Grandview exchanges through RCI Weeks but is otherwise independent, you should be able to arrange the reservation and Guest confirmation entirely through Grandview. If I want to rent out our Westgate, Wyndham, or Bluegreen weeks, I certainly do so and get Confirmations from Westgate, Wyndham, or Bluegreen. RCI is in no way involved.

For this reason, your question about how guest confirmations are received needs to be addressed to Grandview or its parent resort chain if any.

Regarding some of your other questions, I know some folks successfully use PayPal to quicky confirm and receive payments. So far, I have not.(Too chicken) I use a rental contract under which the renters agree to a 25% down payment (unrefundable) as soon as I can show them a confirmation with MY name on it. (By mail or e-mail) When they make full payment, (60 days out or sooner) the reservation is put into their name and the final gift confirmation is sent to them. You'll notice that I have plenty of time to be sure their payment clears. I'm sure others on this site will chime in with their own variations. MD
