When a user pays an exchange fee and completes a reservation, they receive an email receipt from us with the details of what was included in their cart. They also receive an reservation confirmation e-mail which comes directly from DAE as a text e-mail with a PDF attachment. Thanks, Marty

Thanks for the explanation Marty.

OK, Marty.

So, if I make an exchange, I get a PDF confirmation from DAE with my name on it. Quite naturally, that is covered by the exchange fee, just as it would be with RCI. If I knew up front that someone else would be using the exchange, I suppose I could ask that the confirmation be made originally to that name at no extra charge. (Correct?)

What happens should I subsequently rent out the week received in this exchange or gift it to another party? Do I contact DAE for a replacement confirmation so that DAE can inform the resort of the real vacationer's identity? Is there an additional charge in this case?

You indicate that RedWeek has no policy against the rental of exchanges. I trust this also applies to DAE. MD

Q. So, if I make an exchange, I get a PDF confirmation from DAE with my name on it. Quite naturally, that is covered by the exchange fee, just as it would be with RCI.

You have to confirm the week in your name, RedWeek/DAE take ownership of it, and then transfer it into the guest's name. We don't know who the guest will be at the point you make the confirmation, and may not for quite some time. Q. What happens should I subsequently rent out the week received in this exchange or gift it to another party? Do I contact DAE for a replacement confirmation so that DAE can inform the resort of the real vacationer's identity? Is there an additional charge in this case? A. All guest name changes need to be made through DAE, yes. We do not charge a guest certificate fee for this type of change.

Q. You indicate that RedWeek has no policy against the rental of exchanges. I trust this also applies to DAE. A. DAE is our backshop. Using our exchange, you are subject to our policies, not DAEs. What DAE decides is policy for their members is up to them. If you go through RedWeek Exchange, our policies apply to you; DAE simply processes it. You are not going to get in trouble with DAE for doing something that RedWeek policy allows.

Thanks, Marty
