Re: Redweek once again changing listing format to benefit them. (by Theodore S.):
Redweek's policy of deleting our ads 10 days before check-in is just about the most ignorant business decision I have heard of in my life. Just for starters, since a great deal of rentals in the hospitality business are made at the last minute, Redweek loses that chance to earn the $99 charge they hit us with when our units get rented. Redweek is cutting off 10 days of potential profit not just for us T/S renters but for themselves, as well. That is insanity. At least 30% - 40% of my April rentals get made in the last 10 days to one week before check-in and my July 4th rentals always get rented in the last minute. My units did not get rented this past July 4th and the Resort was 91.5% filled yet my two units got rented last year in the last week before July 4th. This year, like last year, I had the only July 4th rental ad on Redweek. I was unaware that my ad had disappeared 10 days before July 3rd, the check-in date.
