Thanks Denise...

This is off topic but I've never seen anyone ask here and it's probably not possible anyway (or might even be a stupid question). Can I rent out my lock off to Marriott? Meaning can I contact Marriott and say I'm not going to use this unit and can they put it back to their inventory to rent out to others (not owners) for more money than what they paid me for it? Just curious. I know owners would rather rent it out, or deposit for future use but just curious if that's even possible.
Marriott has a rental program but they don't take all weeks. They take a 40 percent cut. You have to contact them as to whether they want your week.

You can rent your whole unit through Marriott, but not just one side of a lock off unit. You call them up, they make you a rental offer and if you accept they send you a check right away. However, depending on what you own you can often do better renting it yourself. There is also the chance they don't even want to take your week to rent and don't make an offer.

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
With the exception of gold and platinum ocean front resorts most offers don't cover MF or are just over the fees.
