New Fees NOT very happy about that
We own an equivalent of 14 weeks of timeshare at two different resorts. All RedWeek does is help us offset our dues, however with the cost of posting a rental so high I will not be using RedWeek.com anymore and want others to know about all the excessive fees involved.
$ 49.99 Add 6 months $ 99.00 Success fee $ 50.00 Resort fee ( most resorts charge a guest authorization fee) $ 50.00 eBay or CC processing fee Who is going to pay approximately $250.00 for someone else's vacation. It's no longer financially feasible to rent with RedWeek.com Renters also pay 6% on top of rental price.
People just won't be able to use RedWeek anymore. So sorry...

I totally agree with Robert. Redweek WAS a valuable and reasonable site to rent weeks out by Owners unable to use their weeks at a reasonable fee. Redweek has become too expensive to use with all the additional service fees and taxes. . I will NOT be using to rent my weeks any longer!

We listed our timeshare on Redweek in April. We signed up for the $49.99 plan to rent the timeshare ourselves. We listed the timeshare for $5800, and that was the price showing up on the listing. I happened to check our listing this week and the price is now $6347. Redweek added $547 to our listing price without telling us and they will pocket the $547 if our unit rents. Also, our listing will likely not rent at that higher price, so we'll have to lower our price to offset the Redweek increase. We'll end up losing money and Redweek will still make $547 regardless. We've used Redweek for years, and we WERE very happy. Now Redweek is unethical and getting greedy. This is definitely the last time we use Redweek.

NOT happy with their money grab at all!!! The fees are also making us leave by next year. Just trying to figure out the best place to go - Airbnb, VRBO, Ebay, Vacation Candy or ???? Any of the rest of you have any best places to go instead of RedWeek? We have two listed now but do not want to use RedWeek in the future. Just can't afford to lose money on the rentals with the addition of their new fees! (If we rent with points and then try to rent it out on RedWeek, we are going to lose money on the transaction.)
