Re: Re: Redweek once again changing listing format to benefit them. (by Joyce C.):
I used Redweek for the past 23 years. They became greedy, focusing on profit making only. I quit them few months ago. I am trying to explore other options to rent out my timeshare to off set my $7500 annual maintenance fees. I am not going to give in to the greedy business who puts the customer service at the bottom of their priority list.

We no longer have a choice to rent out our timeshare ourselves on Redweek! I have used Redweek for well over 25 years and just pulled two of my new ads. They are now adding over 10% to our rental fee for them to pocket. They already charge a membership, a listing fee, and a verification fee (all of which I was fine with) but NOW they are making my units even higher priced! I can barely get my maintenance fee on a couple of our Marriott's the way it is - and now an extra 10%!!! Any suggestions on other places to use to rent that you have been happy with? Looking for owners to share ideas, as Redweek is NOT what it used to be!! This is just tooooo much! I received a call from Redweek when I emailed them and they told me that this is what ALL owners and renters want! NOT our experience! AND why will they no longer give us a choice to rent them out with our own contract???? AND they even admitted that they are "a FOR PROFIT" company and they need to make money - they obviously figured out a way to may A LOT more money. As I said, we have been renting to and from for over 25 years! You just need to vet on your own, and if you don't want to do so then you can have Redweek do it all, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE!
