FAQs

How do I get started with Rent My Timeshares?

Start by choosing how many points you’d like to allocate for rental in your current use year. After you submit your ownership details, our team confirms your tier, use-year cycle, and eligibility. From there, we manage listings, guest requests, reservations, and payments so you don’t have to.

Do I qualify to rent my timeshare points?

Most owners qualify if they have an active use year and eligible points with brands like Wyndham, WorldMark, and Marriott (plus select tiers such as Presidential Reserve). Minimum point thresholds can vary by brand and tier. Submit your info and we’ll confirm what you can allocate.

What information do you need from me?

We typically need your ownership details, VIP tier (if applicable), use-year cycle, and the number of points you want to allocate. Once we confirm those basics, you’re hands-off — we handle demand matching, guest requests, and the booking process.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. RMT uses a simple service agreement, not a binding multi-year contract. You can adjust how many points you allocate each year based on your travel plans. Many owners rent some points one year and fewer (or none) the next — it’s flexible.

Do I keep control of my ownership and points?

Yes. You remain the owner. You’re simply allocating a block of points for rental in your use year. RMT manages the process of matching guest demand to availability and handling the reservation workflow.

Can I change how many points I rent each year?

Yes. Owners can adjust their allocation each use-year cycle. Use-year cycles often follow Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, and Oct 1. At each new cycle, you can reassign as few or as many points as you’d like depending on your travel habits.

How does Rent My Timeshares work?

You allocate points. RMT markets and manages listings across major booking channels and our internal channels. We only move forward when there’s a confirmed guest request that matches availability. Then we handle bookings, guest communication, confirmations, and post-stay processing.

What does “hands-off for owners” mean?

It means you’re not managing listings, pricing, guest messages, or payment collection. You don’t have to guess demand or handle renters directly. You assign points, and RMT manages the booking process end-to-end.

Do you book speculatively and hope it rents?

No. RMT uses a demand-first approach. We only book when there’s a confirmed guest request that matches owner availability. This avoids speculative bookings that can go unused.

Where are listings advertised?

Inventory is marketed across major travel marketplaces including Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, along with Rent My Timeshares’ own booking channels. This broad exposure helps convert demand into confirmed bookings.

Do I have to communicate with renters?

No. RMT handles renter communication, confirmations, and support. Owners don’t need to message guests, manage questions, or coordinate check-in details.

How many bookings does RMT handle?

RMT processes approximately 3,000 confirmed bookings per month. Our technology helps sync guest demand with timeshare availability to increase conversion and reduce wasted inventory.

When do I get paid?

Owners are paid 45 days after guest checkout. Funds are issued by the 15th of the payout month. This gives time for the marketplace refund window and post-stay processing to complete.

How do payouts work?

Payments are typically sent via secure ACH transfer, with checks available as a backup. Each payout includes a detailed statement showing resorts, dates, average nightly rates, and yields so you can see exactly how your payout was calculated.

Is there an upfront fee to start?

There is no upfront “marketing fee” required to get exposure and start receiving guest demand. RMT’s model is built around performance and transparency, with payouts tied to confirmed bookings and a profit-share yield structure.

How is my payout calculated?

RMT uses a transparent yield model. All owners in the same VIP tier receive the same average payout rate per 1,000 points, which helps stabilize income compared to traditional split models that can vary widely between owners.

What are current average payouts per 1,000 points?

Current averages (example ranges) include: Wyndham Platinum at approximately $7.86 per 1,000 points, Wyndham Founders (VIP) at approximately $9.37 per 1,000 points, and Presidential Reserve at approximately $9.64 per 1,000 points. Rates can vary with seasonality and demand.

Do I receive tax documents for my earnings?

Yes. Owners receive a 1099-MISC each January for net proceeds earned during the prior calendar year. If you have questions about how it applies to your situation, we recommend speaking with a tax professional.

How do I know Rent My Timeshares is legitimate?

RMT runs a large-scale rental operation with approximately 20,000 active listings and processes around 3,000 confirmed bookings per month. Owners receive detailed payout statements for transparency, and a dedicated team is available by phone or email for support.

Who can I contact if I have questions?

You’ll have access to a dedicated owner support team (including Ryan, Olivia, and Davey) by phone and email. We’re built to be hands-off for owners, but never “no-contact” — you can reach a real person when you need help.

How transparent are payouts and reporting?

Each payout includes a detailed statement showing resorts, dates, average nightly rates, and yield. This gives you a clear view of performance and removes the guesswork that many owners experience with traditional rental approaches.

What about guest confirmation fees?

If guest confirmation fees exceed the certificates included with your ownership, RMT covers the overage. RMT covered more than $1 million in excess guest confirmation fees last year so owners aren’t nickel-and-dimed after allocating points.

How is the business managed financially?

RMT’s financial reporting is overseen by a CFO with 45+ years of industry experience to ensure clean books and accurate owner reporting. Owners also receive annual tax documentation (1099-MISC) each January for net proceeds.

What if I don’t want to rent the same amount every year?

That’s normal. RMT isn’t a multi-year lock-in. You can adjust your allocation each use-year cycle (often Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, and Oct 1). If you plan to travel more one year, allocate fewer points. If you won’t use them, allocate more.

Why not rent my points myself?

Renting yourself can work, but it usually requires constant monitoring, pricing guesswork, guest messaging, handling cancellations, and managing payments. RMT is built for owners who want a hands-off system with broad renter exposure and a consistent, transparent yield model.

What if demand is low or travel slows down?

Demand can vary by season and destination, but RMT’s advantage is distribution and conversion technology. Inventory is marketed across major marketplaces and matched to confirmed guest requests, which improves booking efficiency compared to a single-channel approach.

Will I still get a clear view of what happened with my rentals?

Yes. Each payout includes a detailed statement showing resorts, dates, average nightly rates, and yield. RMT is also developing an owner dashboard with forecasting, lifetime earnings, and upcoming rental visibility to make planning even easier.

Is renting my points worth it if I’m not using them?

For many owners, renting is a way to turn unused points into predictable income and offset ownership costs instead of letting points expire. If you’re not planning to travel in your current use year, allocating points for rental can be a straightforward way to recover value.
