TUG rentals won't let me post our 14-night rental as a 'fixed week' booking.

TUG insists on forcing me so say we are renting points (Staroptions).
Is there a way to list this is a fixed, week 1-2 (14-night) rental?...other than by forcing them to read the textual description?
I don't want folks thinking we are renting points.
FWIW, I foresee having a 13-night booking to post later this year. I have no idea how to get that accurately described in a TUG listing.
Why must I declare the number and type of points we used for the booking? Isn't that irrelevant to renting?

Hi Bob!

unfortunately that isnt a fixed week vs two separate weeks that are back to back and can certainly post them as such...or if you wanted to could list it as a FLOATING week and select those two consecutive weeks as the float period. (this latter option would be my choice anyway).

it would only force you to input point related information if you specifically chose to post a points listing or started the process by choosing a point program instead of a specific resort.

I would think a 14 night reservation may be difficult to rent as it limits potential interested parties. You are probably better to list each week separately and indicate in each ad that you have the week prior or after and can rent both back to back if interested.

The is definitely more demand for 7 night rentals. I'd post each week separately, but make it clear that 2 weeks are available.

Would Vistana split a 14-night booking into back-to-back 7-night bookings if I asked? And would they do so with having me cancel first?

They should be able to do it, it will ultimately be a cancel and rebook. You want to call to have it done and ensure you won't lose the reservation. @DeniseM may know more about how this may work.

Yes, they will - when you are sure what you need, just call owner services. They will handle it - not you. They may tell you that they have to refer it to inventory control, or another Dept, and it will take 48 hours, and that is OK - that's standard procedure.

It should be noted that renting StarOption reservations (for resorts other than where you own) is prohibited.
