We have not yet ever exchanged or rented out our TS. We especially want to rent one of our TS. Basically, is Redweek worth trying or should I stick with the "big boys" (RCI/II)?

bernie, if you're flexible and don't want the same thing as everybody else seems to want (hard to get weeks in hard to get resorts in hard to get destinations), then I think you should try Redweek.
Flexibility is the key with Redweek and not being stuck in one frame of mind (re: holidays in the most popular locations, the highest end timeshares to exchange into, summers in the most popular locations, winter in the most popular ski locations .... you get my drift).
There have been some fantastic trades via Redweek for the above criteria, but they are snapped up about as fast as they are deposited.
You have 3 years to use your deposit with Redweek and points can be accumulated from year to year if you don't use them. I think Redweek offers a fantastic deal IF one is flexible.
As far as renting your timeshare via Redweek .... this site is one of the most popular rental sites on the internet with over 1 million members. If your week(s) are in any way in demand and you price your rental fairly then you CAN rent your week. All exchange criteria is based on supply and demand.
