Red Wishes (by Brian M.):

No, jayjay - that is EXACTLY what Red Wishes was for. It allowed someone interested in a specific week at a particular region or city to PAY to see if someone had a week to rent. With so many timeshares now on "floating" weeks, that is often the only way to efficiently connect a buyer and a seller. Otherwise, if I want first week of June in Maui, for example, I have to email dozens or hundreds of advertisers to find out if they have that week available. The advertiser of a "floating" week often cannot get that week.

With Red Wishes, if someone wanted a particular week in a certain region or city, they would PAY to Red Week to post a Red Wish, and interested sellers could let them know what was available. What is abusive about that???

I have been a member of RedWeek for over 8 years and have advertised my timeshares for rent perhaps a dozen or so times (paying FULL PRICE). I have probably paid Red Week a thousand dollars or so in fees over the years so I am NOT an "abuser." Since cancelling Red Wishes, the responses to my full price ads have dropped dramatically. I predict THOUSANDS of former Red Week members are dropping out and in a couple of years what used to be a great service will slowly go out of business. Too bad for the short sighted owners of this web site.
