Generally, most point-based programs permit rentals, with the condition that it’s not for ‘commercial gain or investment purposes.’ As you may be aware, timeshares are not intended as investment properties, and we cannot assist in turning them into such. We strongly advocate for utilizing your timeshare for vacations. Nevertheless, our service offers a practical means to offset ownership expenses during periods when you’re unable to utilize all your points.

Normally, our clients experience activity within 2-3 weeks of joining Points Unlimited. Depending on how many points you allocate to our rental program, it can take many transactions to use up all the points. While we have a very high success rate, it’s generally not recommended to allocate us points that are close to expiration. The more time we have to get your points rented, the higher likelihood of success.

Certainly, you have the flexibility to change this number at any time. It’s common for owners to initially allocate a small number of points and then adjust it later, especially after confirming their personal usage. The only restriction on changing the number of points allocated to Points Unlimited arises once they have already been utilized to secure a guest’s vacation.

Usually, the resort takes measures to hold the guest liable. We associate the guest’s name with each reservation, and the resort’s front desk typically requires them to present a government-issued ID and a credit card for incidentals or damages. In more serious situations where your involvement as the property owner is necessary, the resort may contact you. At that point, our role is to step in and facilitate resolution with the guest, as they have agreed to specific terms and conditions when booking through us.

Payments to the owner are issued via check once the reservation is successfully completed. Payment cycles occur twice per month, typically on the 1st and 16th. It’s important to note that processing delays may occur on holidays, during specific weeks, or during periods of heavy volume, in which case payments would be processed on the next business day. This payment procedure eliminates the necessity for Points Unlimited to charge back an owner if a rental guest cancels their reservation, and the points are returned to the owner’s account. Rest assured, you will always be compensated for points utilized from your account.
