Red Wishes (by R P.):

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.
Why have your responses to your 'full price ads' dropped dramatically ???????? If someone is looking for a particular resort (or location) in a specific timeframe then 'Sell or Rent Your Timeshare' is the place to go .... it's very easy to go down the list of what's available .... I don't understand your comment.
