Re: Redweek deposit question? (by Marty F):

At check-in the front desk will take a credit card imprint whether the person checking in is a guest or an owner. The imprint is for phone calls or other extra charges and damages. Should a unit sustain damage, then that damage will be charged to the credit card of the guest or owner. I don't know about Redweek exchanges, but with RCI and II exchanges the liability of damages falls on the exchange company.

Now when an owner rents out their timeshare unit and the guest damages the unit the damages would be charged to the guest's credit card, but if the guest decides to contest the charge and wins, then the owner is ultimately responsible.

Redweek doesn't issue guest certificates. I imagine what they do when an exchange occurs is email a confirmation to the exchanger who then prints that email and presents it at check-in.

marty, correct me if I'm wrong.

JayJay,

For rentals and exchanges - The resort will also take the renter's credit card at check in. All guests give a credit card to the desk on check-in for misc charges.. and for security on damages. The resort will charge the card if there's damage or missing stuff. This is true whether it's a rental or an exchange. There's a legal responsibility that the resort can use if there's a guest that doesn't cover the damages...

For renting an exchange - All transactions are between RedWeek.com and its members (not the member's guest). All confirmations are noted with the name of the person to check-in at the host resort. If for any reason this is to change, the member (not the guest), must contact RedWeek.com and advise the change to the original confirmation details. A new confirmation will be issued by RedWeek.com and the destination resort will be notified accordingly.

RedWeek must be notified of a guest no later than five business days prior to check-in.

The guest assumes all responsibility for any breakages/damages that occur to the unit.

Thanks, Marty
