How To Use VacationShare For Renting Unused Vacation Time


VacationShare is an online platform that offers you the option to rent out your unused vacation time. If you’ve got a vacation booked that you can’t use, you can list that vacation for rental through VacationShare. VacationShare will handle the marketing, booking, and payment for your reservation, making it easier than ever to rent out your unused vacation time.

For more information on how to register for and use the VacationShare platform, just follow these simple steps.

  • How to Create a Listing on VacationShare
    Step 1: Log In to Your VacationShare Account

    Go to www.vacationshare.com and log in with your email and password.

    login page

    Step 2: Open the Listings Dashboard and Check Restrictions

    Once logged in, you'll see the "My Listings" page. On the left menu, click on "Timeshare Owner Priority Reservations." This shows you which resorts or dates are owner-only and cannot be rented out. In other words, if you see a date or resort marked as owner-only, you cannot list it for rent.

    Step 3: Check the Participating Resort List

    Next, click on the "Participating Resort List" link to see which resorts and unit types you can list. If you have any questions, there’s an FAQ link right there for more info.

    Step 4: Understand Eligibility Requirements

    If a resort or a unit type does not appear on this list, that means it is not eligible for the VacationShare rental program. You cannot submit reservations for properties or unit types that are not listed.

    Step 5: Check This List Before Booking or Submitting

    Because not all properties or unit types are accepted, it is very important to check this list before booking a reservation for rental or submitting one through VacationShare. This helps ensure your reservation can be listed without delays.

  • How to Check the Rental Status of a Listing
    Step 1: Understand What You Can See in Your VacationShare Account

    When you log in to your VacationShare account, you’ll be able to see if your listing is Approved, Denied, or Canceled. At this time, rental status (whether the reservation has been rented) is not displayed in the portal.

    all rentals status page

    Step 2: How to Check the Rental Status

    If you’d like to know whether your listing has been rented, our team is happy to assist you. Please contact us by calling 888-965-2385 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–7 PM EST) or by emailing info@vacationshare.com. We’ll gladly look up the rental status for you and share the most updated information.

    Step 3: Staying Informed About Your Listing

    Because rental status isn’t shown in the VacationShare portal, hosts are encouraged to reach out anytime they would like an update. Our team is always here to help clarify the status of your listing.

    Step 4: What Happens If My Listing Is Rented?

    If your listing was rented, you will automatically receive an update 45 days after the checkout date of your listing. This allows time for stay verification and final processing. If you would like an update at any point, before or after the 45-day window, please contact us — we’re always happy to help.

    Step 5: What You Will Receive If Your Listing Was Rented

    If your listing was successfully rented, you will receive two important communications:

    Pay Portal Invitation – You will receive an email inviting you to create a Pay Portal account so you can access your payment based on the rental program you submitted through. This invitation comes from do.not.reply@hyperwallet.com. (You can only join the Pay Portal through this invitation.)

    Income Statement – You will receive an income statement showing the rental activity and your earnings. This email will come from one of the following:

    • donotreply@ownerrentals.vacationshare.com (if submitted through VacationShare)
    • donotreply_extraholidays@wyndham.com (if submitted through the legacy Extra Holidays program)

    timeshare owner priority reservations page

    Step 4: Understand What Blackout Dates Mean

    If your reservation falls on any of these blackout dates, you cannot submit it to VacationShare for rental. These dates are set aside strictly for owner travel only, so they are not eligible for listing.

    Please make sure to review blackout dates carefully before creating a listing.

    Step 5: Know Which Resorts Are Affected

    Blackout dates only apply to Club Wyndham resorts. They do not apply to WorldMark resorts.

Now you’re ready to use VacationShare to list your unused vacation time like a pro.
