The provisional weeks ... Hope this helps explain 'provional weeks' a little better.

Thanks, Marty

OK-- thanks, Marty. I am assuming then, that there is no commitment from the persons with provisional weeks. They are simply potential weeks that could potentially be available if someone would find a suitable week. My question would be for those of us with high-dollar weeks, like Frenchman's Cove, Harborside, Maui Ocean Club, etc. -- if we wanted a similar exchange, but none have yet been deposited, how would you get an exchange. All the folks with the coveted weeks are sitting on the sidelines, but wouldn't want to deposit, since there is no inventory with the expensive/highly sought weeks (they seem to be all "provisional"). With Interval, one can do a "request first", where you don't relinquish your week, but you can still make the request and it will happen if available. Is there, or is there any plans to implement, such a system with Redweek? I really think the concept is great, only paying for the value of what you take, but am concerned that the inventory will be mostly less sought after properties. Please educate me if I am in error. Thanks again for the reply
=========== You can request an email alert any time a specific resort has a unit for exchange, rent, or sale. Go to the Timeshares for Rent & Sale tab at the top of the page. From here, find the specific resort in which you are interested. Then, on the right side of the page under I Want To, select "Be notified of new postings". While this might be cumbersome, it provides something like II's request first.
