If your week hasn't been taken, why don't you email Redweek to see if you can change your week to provisional since that option supposedly wasn't available when you deposited it? Have you tried that?

I have been emailing back and forth to Kylie about this program since June, offering my opinions and feedback. I must admit they have been very responsive.

I asked her three days ago about the possibily of getting my week back. She was very disappointed that I had "given up" on them so quickly. I did not ask about converting to a provisional week, however.

I guess, i do not see how this program can ever work if all the weeks are provisional and not actual deposits. YOU HAVE TO REWARD THOSE WHO DEPOSIT FIRST. ie bonus weeks or points. Example, deposit this week and get an extra 700 points to be used on your second exchange.

Truth is, by reading on TugBBS, it has become obvious that most of the provional weeks are just people testing the RedWeek system. I have read that many people don't even own the weeks they were getting quotes for!

A software program needs to be put in place that "ties" many weeks together and commits people to their provisional weeks. Otherwise, we are going to watch green grass turn brown, I am afraid.

I did commit my unit to RedWeek, so I do feel I should live up to my end of the deal. I do also feel, however, that the rules have changed since then, and that I should be compensated accordingly.

I have even thought about paying the $125 and buying my unit back from RedWeek and then renting it out. I am afraid I may run into problems at my resort when I call to give them the name of the renters. I bet if I explained the issue to my resort, they would understand.
