Re: Membership requirements for potential renters ($9.99 fee) (by R P.):
As has been explained on this thread numerous times, Redweek charges a fee in order to protect their renter's and seller's personal info (re: email address, name etc.) and that's certainly NOT OUT OF LINE. If you are a renter/seller you should better understand Redweek's privacy concept in preventing any/everyone from retrieving your personal information. The vast majority of timeshare sites charge a fee for retrieving personal information. Redweek is not alone in that endeavor.
I do agree that it would be nice if Redweek offered a counter.

I recently wrote to Red Week as to why there are no "counters" on listing so that I would at least know how many people looked at the listing. Otherwise I have no idea as to whats actually happening. I was told that no one had called me because my price was too high compared to others. It isn't. The point is, if I knew X amount of people looked at the listing and I got no calls then maybe I have a problem.
Maybe there is and maybe there isn't anyone looking. The only one in the dark here is the lister. Red Week needs to move into the 21st century and make it easier for those wishing to rent their units or a renter to rent a unit.
Enough said.
