It takes only a minute to sign up to become a member of Redweek ..... no hassle involved.

You shouldn't have to reload at all .... just put the ad you're interested in in your favorites and after you've become a Redweek member then just click that favorite ..... easy and simple.

I'm quite familiar with Tug and read their forums on a daily basis. You have to pay to become a member to access Tug reviews. You also have to become a member to place an ad there.
Quote:Jay, I suspect you ARE an 'Official' for Redweek, NO?
I wish !!! .... what I, and other forum members, do here is offer timeshare advice free of charge. None of us regular posters (except marty) are 'officials' of Redweek.
I have been a member of Redweek since it's inception and I've always liked their format and ease of use in both constructing and perusing ads. To me, Redweek is the best timeshare ad site on the internet. I've sold several weeks here.
I'm aware that Tug has updated their ad format, but I find it confusing.
