RedWeek.com Newsletter - November 2010

Everybody loves a deal — especially around the holidays. By shopping the RedWeek Bargain Resales pages you can find incredible timeshare resales at resorts around the world. Currently there is a one bedroom timeshare unit, high season, at a four-star rated Tahoe resort selling for $0. If you prefer something a little further south, there's a two bedroom timeshare unit at a five-star rated resort in Tennessee that includes eight Nascar Park tickets each year, also selling for $0.

Prior to making any timeshare purchase, we recommend that you gather as much information as possible before making a decision. A good place to start is the RedWeek Resources section. First-time buyers may find our Timeshare Pros and Cons, and Timeshare Purchase Options pages particularly helpful.

Should you decide to buy a timeshare that costs more than $1 — or are simply looking to consolidate your debt — take advantage of our exclusive 1% cash-back offer on approved loans through Lending Club. That's right, get 1% of the loan amount back, compliments of RedWeek.com.

Ask the Timeshare Crusader

Our "Ask the Timeshare Crusader" series continues this month with the following question from Mike:

Lisa Ann Schrier

Much like buying a house, the paperwork to buy a timeshare is lengthy: and most of it is written in very small type. The sad truth is that many people don't take the time to read their contract thoroughly… Read Lisa's full answer »

Member Review:

What a great time we had at the La Belle Maison. Not too far from Bourbon Street and within walking distance of the river front and Harrah's casino. Canal Street is just a block or two over. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Weight room was awesome!

NEW RedWeek Exchange Transition Clarification

We have received a number of e-mails from RedWeek users who are under the impression that RedWeek as a whole will transition to Dial An Exchange (DAE) on Nov. 15, 2010. We would like to clarify that it is only the exchange portion of the RedWeek business that will transition to DAE. RedWeek will continue to offer rental and resale services, just as we have for the past eight years.
