I have been on TUG for years and looked at those ads for exchanges from one TS group to another and the ones that offer to rent a week.

I don't understand how this works for those who do not own dedicated weeks. I own only DRI points. How to I 'rent' points if I want to?

Are you trying to rent some points from someone else or are you trying to rent out your points to someone else? Diamond like many points systems don't allow you to transfer points between members. Most rentals are made by the owner making a reservation with their points and then renting that out. Sometimes you can offer to make points reservation for someone else but often people want to book 30 days or less and want high demand locations that have been all booked up months and months before. If they want last minute left over type reservations they usually are the extreme bargain hunters that are looking for prices that you probably can't meet without losing money.

Also, with Diamond, it is a violation to advertise your points for rent.

Not sure if fixed week (non point owner) can exchange with II. You may need to book you home week and deposit in your personal II account to exchange. Club member can exchange with points in account. Or May be I don’t quite understand what your exchange means.

Fixed week owners can exchange with DEX (Diamond EXchange).

I saw DEX on the DRI owners page. I stayed with II and I like the choice in II. I usually only go to Elite resorts like Marriott or Westin.

Even though you elected to pay for your own II membership, you still have access to DEX so it doesn't hurt to look there as well for resorts you might like.
