Re: Points near expiration (by Marty F):
To Rent Points:
Although RedWeek.com is better structured for the renting of weeks at a particular resort, there are a couple of different ways you may still be able to use the site to rent your points system week. First, if you have a home resort, post your rental on your resort's page like a normal rental posting. If you do not have a home resort, you can take one of the following steps:
1. As long as your points company allows you to transfer weeks you have obtained through their system, post rental ads across several of the resorts you may be able to book. Mention in the "Details" section that you still have to reserve the unit and it may or may not be available. Just make sure you deactivate all of your postings when you have rented one of them.
2. Book a week at what you think is the most desirable resort. Then just post that one week for rent like normal.
To Sell Points:
1. If you have a home resort, add your sale posting to your resort's page like normal. Just be sure to explain in your "Details" section the number of points and the point system being offered.
2. Post a RedWish under the category "Vacation Points for Sale" where you can explain the number of points, point system, and price, and let interested parties contact you directly. As a member, you can post your RedWish at the following link: http://www.redweek.com/account/member/add_redwish/?m=csrwish
3. Browse the RedWish category "Vacation Points Wanted" to see if there are any buyers interested in what you have to offer. If so, you can contact them directly to initiate the sale.
This is our current method of renting and selling points. We realize it's not ideal.
Thanks, Marty
