Re: Tips on Renting Out Timeshare (by Lisa D.):

Anita, I tried Redwishes and less than 12 hours, I had 2 interested parties. The problem was I advertised my units for RENT on Redwishes. The advertising was charged to my credit card, however, several hours later, the company sent me an e-mail through my Redweek account and advised me that they were crediting the amount I paid for each advertisement back to my credit card, due to Redwish being for person(s) who are SEEKING a rental or Exchange. At this point, they automaticaly removed my posting from Redwish, and the person(s) that were interested my rental, assumed that I had already found a renter, due the ad being removed from Redwish thus causing them to seek a unit elsewhere. I too have trouble renting out my units on the main page TIMESHARES FOR RENT and SALE, however, Redwish was an instant response. I am approaching the deadline for my rental, and I have lowered the price tremendously and still have not received a response. Either I take a loss for 580,000 points or I'm going to have to try reserving at another resort, quickly, before the year is out. My points expire 12-31-06 or I'll have to deposit the cancell points into RCI.

I have placed several ads on Redweek. I used to get a lot of email responses, but in the last six months or so-- it seems like no one is replying to ads anymore. Is anyone else having the same trouble?? Or can you offer any advice as to how to get people to notice my ads??? Thanks

i am having the same problem even when i lower my price.

I have written on here before regarding this issue. But, this is my first experience trying to rent our timeshare units on Redweek and I have had no responses. I am also advertising the units on our in-house e-mail at my place of employment and even though I have not rented them yet, I have had more inquiries through that vehicle than Redweek. I'm wondering if people get a better response from the Redwishes. Would anyone who currently has a Redwish care to share this information? I also feel that I have 2 very desirable units at 5 star resorts in very desirable locations (neither of which are overly saturated with timeshares) and my weeks are both special weeks that normally sell out at the resorts. As I look at the other listings also on Redweek for my resorts, I'm seeing no movement.
