Redweek listings are just sitting online, not many are renting, a new phenomena and a waste of money for owners at $59 for verify/ protect

We have a week at Kingsland in November on RW and haven't had any interest. We dropped the price once. It almost seems that HGV is renting some of their unused rooms because there are a lot of rooms without the seller being listed. Makes me wonder.

HGV rents on their hotel site Hilton dot com, perfectly legal. When people convert HGV points to HHonors points they get the timeshare usage. If you read the rules HGV can also take unused units in Open Season.

Glad to hear that, Cindy! I know that you're struggling to figure out new usage/rental patterns and portfolio changes over the past few years.

Yes, and I have had so many verify/ protect listings that didn't rent.

I rented a June WorldMark West Yellowstone 2 bedroom for $2,000. WorldMark points can be a very nice thing to own for use and for rental purposes.

The SDO President's week premium one bedroom rented. It was not a huge profit, probably only about $300 net, but better than depositing.

I have so many SBR that I had to deposit into II after a terrible rental year. I was counting on our daughter to rent the weeks, which she is usually able to do,and really, if I have her in charge, she doesn't like me involved in renting them as well. Next year, she is competing with me because I want 0 deposits of SBR for 2025. I was renting those for cost after the beginning of August and only rented a few. I could use the profit of renting at least half myself for 2025. It would be nice to not be in the hole next year.

I will be renting Shadow Ridge for 2026, every one of them will be up for rent, 2 bedrooms. If I can get MF's back, that's all I care about, and MF's are very high now on Shadow Ridge. Marriott updated the units, and I am sure they are nice, but I expect the fees to increase like they did in 2024.
