I have read many times on TUG that renting out an RCI exchange is against RCI rules. Can anyone point me to a source for this rule? I've tried searching this forum and didn't find what I was looking for.

Go to RCI and look at the membership terms. If you occasionally, and quietly rent to friends or family who understand the situation, you probably won't get caught.

If you start a cottage industry renting to strangers on the internet, you probabl will get caught.

Are you prepared to personally resolve any and every situation that might arise, yourself? If not, your guest will be calling RCI asking for comp if there is a check-in problem or other issue...

There are also potential legal issues with acting as an unlicensed seller of travel, depending on your GUEST'S state of residence.
