If Canterbury isn’t available, Bali Hai would be good and valuable. Still recommend you buy resale but if you are dead set in VIP, you might be able to buy Bali Hai on telesales.

Agreed, Bali Hai you may have better luck, though many of the contracts on the resale market are EOY contracts. I've actually never inquired about BH developer contracts, I'll have to inquire from one of my sales manager contacts.

There are plenty of ways to rent without getting scammed. Is there some level of risk- sure I suppose. But if you just do your due diligence, its very easy not to get scammed. In this case the person that was scammed said they emailed back and forth and then made a payment, personally I NEVER make a payment without having an actual phone call with the person I am renting from. Actually speaking to someone on the phone tells you a lot. I have done 10 or so timeshare rentals in the last 3 years, from TUG with 1 from Redweek as well, and I have never had any kind of issue whatsoever. You just have to be cautious and do your due diligence and you will be fine renting.
The industry as a whole is full of scammers. Buying, renting or selling.

I only rent from TUGGERS who have an established TUG rental history.

From what I gather, due to real estate licensing, not all brokers can sell all inventory. So your "insider" has to be able to sell Hawaii timeshares.

Agreed, some states have different requirements for timeshare sales. Could easily be why I've never had BH offered up since I mostly frequent east coast Wyndham resorts. :)

I’m not a VIP. I’m sure if you stick around, some TUG member will show you how to do it. As I understand it, you can either: 1) buy telesales at $134/1k pts, 2) buy resales then PIC. Correct me if I am mistaken as I just have resale points.
@bendadin here is where I recommended someone wanted VIP, they should buy resales.

Wyndham Waikiki Beach Walk + DRI/HVC
Royal Garden at Waikiki

Again, you sound like me 5 years ago. However we rescinded Royal Garden and purchased Waikiki Beach Walk via resale- which IMO is a better resort location-wise. Also most accommodations are about 1/2 the points as Royal Garden.
