Re: What keeps you from using Redweek Exchange? (by Mike N.):

The difference between what you received for your exchange and what we offer it to others is because that when weeks are deposited, a small percentage of the inventory goes unused - or "burns" - creating a loss for RedWeek. The small points adjustment you noticed allows us to break even or gain a small profit on the exchange program...

Marty, haven't you heard? Ever since Obama was elected he wanted people to share the wealth. It's not fair that RedWeek is making a profit while all us poor people are waiting for our handouts :)

Seriously, if the points adjustment is used to make a profit, then please tell me what the exchange fee is for?

I still contend that RedWeek should start lowering the points values of deposited weeks 3-4 months before the week expires. Remember RedWeek makes most of the $$ on the exchange fee, so it doesn't matter if the resort was 2000 pts or 500 pts. On another note, if someone has 1500 pts, RedWeek would get several multiple exchange fees from one deposit. The biggest problem I've seen is the lack of inventory and the lack of consistency in assigning points.
