Marty, I bought a timeshare that is a specific week. When I called Powhatan Plantation, my home resort, to see if I could deposit my week with II instead of with RCI they told me that I can only deposit my week for exchange with RCI because that is who they are affliated with. The person at Powhatan told me that if I had bought a Points timeshare at Powhatan then I could do exchanges with II.

So if I can't even use II instead of RCI, I don't see how I could ever use Redweek to deposit my week with.

========= Yes, this is the same problem I ran into when I queried Fairfield/Wyndham. RedWeek may be willing to accept deposits from our resorts, but we are hearing that the resorts are not willing to make the deposits to organizations with which they have no affiliation. This may be a matter of simplicity or a way to protect owners from the "Fly by nights". (The person with whom I spoke had never heard of RedWeek and quickly cautioned me against companies who call offering to rent or sell my weeks.)

Hi, I had similar problems when I discussed Redweek exchanges with Fairfield. They won't give a direct answer, they said we only deal with RCI and II, but did not say that I cannot place my Fairfield Points week with Redweek. I suspect that if you exchange through Redweek that you will need a guest certificate for the exchange visitor to the condo. If you are not a Fairfield VIP or above it will cost an additional $49.00 after January 1, 2008 and $25.00 prior to Jan. 1, 2008 to effect the exchange. I believe Redweek should have one of their lawyers talk to Fairfield or other developers who are less than helpful to their members about this matter to clear the air. Stan.
