Surfing fee! (by Phil L.):

If your trying to say owners by paying the fee make it safe for renters then your half right.
There has been scams on here scamming honest families out of vacation money. There has been post on this subject with some being banned by Redweek
To be fair to Redweek we need to remember there are scams on all these sites and this is why we tell people to do your homework when renting.
No site is 100% safe and owners and renters need to use their head on deals.
The other point you seem to be missing on here is the topic is about the fee shoppers / tire kickers need to pay to look at your ad and contact owner to see if unit would work for them. Also shoppers/tire kickers are not people that should be labled with insults. They are people looking to spend THEIR money the best way possible.Owners are the ones trying to get these people's money.
Let people look around and if they find a timeshare ad of interest let them contact the owner through Redweek to see if this is what they want and is still available before charging them to become members. No personal information gets out this way and shopper can verify the unit is still available. This sounds strange but many ads are rented out and never deleted.
