Re: how do timeshare weeks work? (by Tracey S.):

Again that information should be in the contract. If not then it (the number of units that can be used at one time or per year) can be something that the developer can change at any time. Most will allow you to use multiple weeks at the same time to stay with additional family and friends based on availability. You would pay the MF for each unit used. In addition if you are upgrading to a larger unit there may be additional fees for that on top of the AI fees for each unit. I know for example at another resort, you used to be able to deposit as many weeks as you wanted with an exchange company but they recently started limiting that to two units per year.

Buying RTU mexican AI memberships aren't necessarily the same as other deeded US properties. Sometimes you can negotiate just as good if not a better deal directly with the developer than buying resale. Memberships that you don't pay unless you use have less incentive to sell than ones that aren't being used but have annual fees involved. Only those who are trying to recover fees are going to bother to sell. There is a happy owner at Real Vacation Club that purchased directly from the developer for under $3000 for 120 weeks and saves on the average of $1500-$2000 on fees each time the unit is used. Most timeshare users aren't looking to spend $2000 per week for two let alone the regular $4000 per week so you won't find a lot of info on Redweek. The only place I see multiple units for sale is Sell My Timeshare Now and they are overpriced and hard to deal with IMO.
