Re: REDWEEKS NEW TIMESHARE EXHANGE PROGRAM (by Terry H.):

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

I have made a succesful deposit with Redweek.

I own a 3BR floating winter season week at Christie Lodge. I try to book a Spring Break week each year for use, rent or trade with RCI.

This year I booked March 15-22, 2008. Last month I deposited my week with Redweek in exchange for 1800 points. I received my 1800 points within a couple of days. My room showed up as available about 10 days later on Redweeks exchange website.

I will probably book the same week again next year and turn it in to Redweek as well. If all goes well, I will have a minimum of 3600 points. Hopefully they will have plenty of inventory for me to choose from by then.

Good Luck
