Redweek exhanging---price/point values

[Sydney]

One interesting thing I found out was when I tried to submit my friend's week at WIVC Coral Mar, I got an instant message saying "Sorry, we are not currently accepting weeks for this resort". Apparently this is a DAE affiliated resort and there are already many weeks listed on RW. Seems like they don't accept all the weeks that are offered...

The same thing happened to me yet when I emailed them about it, they have no idea what I'm talking about and say that there is no record that I tried submitting and failed with the above message. I'm emailing back and forth trying to explain to them to no avail. I would be interested in when they plan to accept my resorts which are in Australia if it is true that they currently do not accept them. It's a bit silly though particularly since I can see that they do have my resorts available for exchange.

I wonder what the max they have offered anyone. Is it 2568. anyone been offered more.

I have been offered 3850 for a 2 bed lock-off. It is a prime week in the carribean. I usually rent it, but I may deposit it to get multiple weeks.

I was offered just under 3000 points for my Marriott Waiohai 7 weeks ago during their "soft" opening.

From the values I see coming out now, it appears the offers are higher now than they were then. It may be a good time to deposit.

Probably the reason for more points is you didn't bite at the 3000 points!

Right now Redweek has no Hawaii of any kind of resort in their inventory and they have seen this stated many times! They also need to get higher rated resorts to make their exchange system work!


You have already made a good deposit to RW and if it was me I would wait and see what you get for that Colorado unit first!

How Long To Get a Quote?

Generally, how long is it taking to get a quote? Thanks. Roger Elliott.

Plastic pineapple upside cake?

I tuned back in to the RedWeek channel today and discovered:

1) 5 pages of North America exchanges still remains constant for 4 weeks now

2) 27 total NA pages, or 22 pages of "Provisional" deposits out there - many are juicy weeks

Has anyone gotten one of these Provisional units as a rental?

This is teasing in my book - it's like walking into a nice restaurant and they show you the dessert platter - all plastic goodies but they sure look real and delicious.

I clicked the "Notify Me" button and my PC locked up for 2 minutes and finally recovered. I guess I'll be notified at some point if the owner want's to deposit the week.

Marriott Signature Villa Award

Perry

I just returned from my Waiohai and "rented" a second room for $1850. I simply bought a 2BR 2BA Signature Villa Award from Marriott and turned it in. Yep, that's right. It was a $4,000 villa if taxes were added in.

Hi,
Can you give us more information on this Award purchase? How do you purchase it? Do you call Marriott directly? Can anybody make the purchase or it is only for selected buyers?
Thanks
Trang

There are hundreds of provisional weeks, including 10 at Atlantis.

The dream will come true, if these weeks will become confirmed.

It sounds like a request first model they are implementing. This could help them out a lot. I don't have time to check it out. But, it's promising.

Just thought I would revive an old thread with some new info.

I just got offers for my two Marriott units. Here they are:


1,937 RedWeek Exchange Points (valid for 3 years)
Resort: Marriott's Manor Club at Ford's Colony
Check-in Date: Jul 04, 2010
Unit Type: 2 Bedroom
Sleeps: 6


1,816 RedWeek Exchange Points (valid for 3 years)
Resort: Marriott's Harbour Point at Shelter Cove
Check-in Date: Aug 07, 2010
Unit Type: 2 Bedroom
Sleeps: 6


The manor Club is about 100 points below what I was offered for the July 4 week two years ago. I have never got a points value for the Harbour Point week before. I thought a summer Hilton Head week would be worth more points than a Williamsburg week, but I was wrong. I do not plan on depositing with them.

To me, there is too little inventory in RedWeek points and too high a variability of points needed to exchange (as well as points offered to deposit) to make this program worthwhile for many. I checked point values for weeks I'm in the process of purchasing, and was disappointed in points offered. Hawaii also seems to be tremendously overvalued in RedWeek points, IMO.
