Exchange Company Options... (by KC):

Is it most readers impression and opinion that II or Redweek is a better exchange program [than RCI] to join.
You must first understand that in order to join or use II at all, you must FIRST own at a resort which is actually currently affiliated with II in the first place.

RedWeek accepts virtually ALL deposits, but the RedWeek exchange inventory is (so far, anyhow) is somewhat limited in both quantity and quality (in my personal opinion anyhow), so you may or may not see or get anything you actually want via a RedWeek exchange. However, with RedWeek (unlike with RCI) you can at least SEE what is available in the RedWeek exchange inventory BEFORE making the decision whether or not to relinquish (i.e., deposit) your week. That fact is also true of II, but as mentioned previously, the II exchange option is ONLY available to you at all *IF* you already own week(s) at a II-affiliated resort.

That said, imho ANYTHING is better than dealing with the smoke and mirrors, rep confusion and deceitful practices and machinations of RCI...
