Re: What keeps you from using Redweek Exchange? (by Robert J.):

I just don't understand the system. My timeshare is with Marriott's Grand Chateau in Las Vegas. I have weeks 1-51 available. To check the valuation of my unit, were I wanting to offer it for exchange, I submitted it for exchange the week of 9/12/09 to 9/19/09. It is a 2bd/2bt that sleeps up to 8. I chose that date because there was a studio at the same resort listed for the same dates (but only sleeps 4). I received a valuation of 963 pts. The studio, is listed as costing 1212 pts. Why would I only receive 963 pts for a much bigger/nicer unit, almost 9 months out, when a much smaller unit for the same time, would cost me much more in pts? Doesn't make any sense, but enough confusion to keep me from being willing to offer my unit. Seems like someone is profitting other than me.

Thanks to anyone who can clarify this.
