How do we get the most out of our Wyndham Platinum membership?

I'm just looking for advice on how to rent out our timeshares. I do realize that I have to sift through the answers, and decide what works best for us.

Maybe just search out and read all of RonParise's posts. You might be able to condense them into a rental success primer. He really has given a lot away here on the forum, but won't just hand it to you.

It does apparently take some planning. You'll need an event calendar for a given resort area. The calendar will help you see when demand should be high for your chosen area. That's when you want to make reservations for rental and you have to determine which is the ideal reservation: 3 days, 4 days, full week. And which day the week starts on.

Then you need to advertise. Where you do that is debatable. Some use Craigslist for the area where the resort is located. Others use eBay or RedWeek. You need a way to get paid...check or Paypal? If you get a Paypal business account, you can accept credit cards. There's no one best way to rent - it'll be what works for you. Don't forget you'll need to develop a rental agreement contract that spells out your terms and expectations.

I hope you do well with this. We've had more than one Wyndham sales person try to sell us points to rent, but I never saw myself getting into that mess.

Here's a calendar to use for Ocean Walk in Daytona Beach, Florida:
