Re: REDWEEKS NEW TIMESHARE EXHANGE PROGRAM (by Phil L.):

Seems what your calling for is what Redweek had before! A exchange setup that I stated was like hitting the lottery! You needed to find owner of resort and weeks and size you want that also wants your week and resort and size unit. This is why there are trading companies!

I see someone on this site asked about some kind of wish list to help with these Provisional units but Redweek has a wishlist already that again seems to work for a few but mostly people who want to rent at some resort on a date they have their vacations. This is like a reverse rent ad in that the owner can see people wanting to rent.

So far it seems this Redweek exchange system is just getting very little done when it comes to top tier or med tier (FIVE STAR) resorts!

People want this to work but owners of good resorts are only going to wait so long before moving on and back to their regular trading company.

I would think many owners that are with RCI are the ones that really want to use this if it works! I doubt many owners with II are really going to run here for trades if they own five star resort!

I thought about making deposit first week this exchange program started for my two bedroom Fourth of July week but didn't care for the points offered. I set back couple weeks and watched and then dealt with II and now have my Hawaii 2008 vacation set!

Only way most five star resort owners would make trade is if they get fair exchange and that just doesn't seem like it could happen here! There will be a few that might trade down but not many because if they wanted cheaper resort they would have bought and spent less money!

We belong with II and have for years because they have high rated resorts and they already have Request First and have for years and it works well!

Here you have high amount of units on the Provisional List which means nothing except Redweek gets to showcase these to others who will make deposits hoping to trade up to better resorts in many cases.

Today they have 32 units listed in Nevada and only 6 are available and 26 are on that great Provisional list and none of the six are a big deal.

Many owners of lower tier resorts are hoping to trade up,something they have no chance of doing with their regular trading company unless they make deposit and then wait and watch 45 days or less resorts available list.

It does look like Redweek exchange will be loaded with timeshares out of the country and for people that want to go out of the United States for vacation this might work well for you!

Still hope they get this exchange system up and running because it could be good for many timeshare owners!
