Did you have any problem getting your resort to make the deposit with RedWeek? I'm told that Fairfield/Wyndham will only use RCI or II as exchange companies. They will make a deposit for exchange to whichever company was affiliated with your first FF/W purchase.

Again, this is ludicrous. If you own a fixed week you can deposit it with Redweek or any of the independent exchange companies that you choose to. If, however, you own Fairfield/Wyndham points then that may be a whole different ballgame. Redweek takes only fixed weeks for deposit, not points.

=== The term "fixed weeks" in "timeshare-speak" is understood to mean one owns the same week at the same resort every year, probably in the same unit. I don't think RedWeek is requiring this. It is my understanding that we just have to reserve a specific week at a specific place for a specific size unit to deposit with RedWeek, exactly as we do when going ourselves. Am I wrong?

However, I am thinking that fixed week owners at independent resorts may find it easier to secure a deposit for RedWeek than those who own with groups having a very active relationship with specific exchange companies. (Or not)

I'd like to hear more specifics from folks who have successfully made a deposit with RedWeek for exchange. Have some now completed actual exchanges, not just deposits? This would seem to be the Topic under which to get this information. MD
