Memberships in Exchange companies (by KC):

gordonh45 asks in part: >> My question is; because the resort uses II does that mean we are limited to using II or can we belong to, say Redweek for exchanges and not bother with II?<< ============================================

The fact that your resort is reportedly affiliated with II as an exchange company certainly does NOT mean that you ever HAVE to buy a II membership, now or at any time in the future. To do so is purely your choice and your option. That's also the case if the resort happens to be dual affiliated (i.e., if also affiliated with RCI, as well as II). Membership in (or use of) an exchange company is an individual choice and a personal option.

You can exchange through RedWeek whether or not you ever choose to acquire II (or RCI) membership. However, you obviously can't deposit the same week in the same year with more than ONE exchange entity at the same time. Once you deposit a week with ANY exchange entity, that week is then completely "off the table" for you to rent out, to use yourself, or to deposit with any other exchange company in that particular year.
