I'm delighted !!!
John, you state this charge stops 90% of window shoppers. I have breaking news for you as Phill12 stated very well we all are window shoppers until we find what we want. What your really saying is Redweek forcing people to become members and pay this fee stops us from having 90% of these Window Shoppers a chance to buy/rent our units even though we already paid Redweek to list our units.
So if Redweek can squeeze member fee's out of 10% of the people (window shopping) this is amount of new people we have a chance with. This is great news!
You and others talk about this fee being for the members safety. There has been many post last few months from renters coming to Redweek and being scammed by Redweek members who are trying to rent timeshares.
Most if not all are out all their money and getting lectures on what they should have done to protect themselves on here. So much for the safety factor!
