Can someone explain "provisional" weeks to me? (by Phil L.):
This provisional list really is just a showcase for Redweek to try and get other owners to make deposits with the hope of getting one of these units.
I doubt many will ever hit the available list if they are great resorts unless there just bad months that no one wants. Many of these resorts have few months of bad weather every year.
I'm also wondering what happens if there is a resort I want on the provisional list and I'm also on this meaningless list?
How does Redweek get the two of us to make the exchange. Also what happens when a owner is told the points they will receive for top resort and then possible deal happens and Redweek has cut their points.
Most owners would tell Redweek where they can stick their point system!
There is work to be done by Redweek to get this exchange moving in right direction.
There was a condo in Colorado this year we had interest in until I found Redweek wanted 2350 points which in honest straight terms means $2350.00.
Why would I give my unit to Redweek and pay more points/money when I could have just gone to the Redweek rental and rented same time span from owner for $700-$1000 for the week.
Redweek seems to have high cost on getting the exchange but low cost on someone making a deposit.
If we had made this exchange we would have been trading down in resorts and giving a holiday week also for a normal summer week(no holiday) and having to pay a extra $550.00 to do this deal!
There is no way this is good deal for timeshare owners but sounds like great money making deal for Redweek!
