I thought Redweek had change this policy so signing in as a guest would let you see the resorts offered and contact a owner to see if the ad fit and was still available for you so you could make a deal before joining Redweek! I see now it has not changed !
This was one of the heated postings we had last year on here because many of us including myself felt that after owner paying Redweek to run the ad people should be able to browse the site and contact a owner to check rental before being forced to join.
No one was saying you shouldn't have to become a member to rent or buy from a owner but to just see if there was something of interest shouldn't cost. No one ever complained about the cost but only the fact you needed to go through the hassle to join just to check it out with owner of ad. Then if nothing on here of interest to you Redweek would refund your money. This was just a waste of time just to look!
I know I left Redweek because of this waste of time fee that they would return if you didn't make a deal but it was just a waste of my time and cost owner my money. I left and bought from some where else and saved more money. I did come back and later joined but then it was my idea and not being forced to join by Redweek just so I could see if the unit on the ad worked for me.
