Mike, I like Tug and Redweek and dislike things about both also! Changes are a good thing with these companies.
The one thing that has always popped up with Tug rentals seems to be to many outside rental companies or people who are trying to rent for others stating they own these units but know nothing of the resort!
Many of these people are just asking for way to much money(over pricing) for a week! You do find many of these same people running their ads on Redweek also!
The last minute list is good and bad because owners can dump a unit at last minute and get some money back at a $100 a night.
I would never do this,spent to much money buying and yearly fee's to just let someone steal a week for nothing from me. This is why I have always said buy where you enjoy going and pick your week to use. This way you can always use it if not rented or exchanged. To many owners grab a hot week thinking of making money and later are stuck and can not use it and this is a waste of owning their timeshare. Also they took a week some family might of wanted for their own use!
I feel now renters that have been lucky and rented a top resort for these cut rate prices will now wait every time!
More people will pass up a good deal four months out hoping for a owner to be in trouble and list on there.
I have seen companies dump 10-15 units at one time on the site and here you have owners who paid on the classified trying to rent their unit and this just knocks there chances out the door. At least now its free!
Changes/updates and more information are a good thing!
