To the Redweek exchange staff...how are you determining how many points a unit is worth? You offered me approx 1800 points for a summer NH week, but I've seen early March weeks in new costing over 1700 for exchange. While this is still ski season (spring skiing?) in NH, it's not the prime ski season in NH.jayjay wrote:phill12 wrote:We were planning on buying the new unit at the Westin in 2008 while there and looking at the $50,000 and up we decided to buy Tower at the Ridge Tahoe as second unit so we can trade every other year if we want.There's not a timeshare anywhere on planet earth that I would pay 50K for one week even if I was a millionaire. It just doesn't make sense and no telling what the maintenance fees would be.
Sometimes it hard to tell what's top tier even here on Red Week. We own at Shawnee Ridge Top week 8 which is a red week and The Royal Haciendas Week 48 in Mexico which is a brand new 5 star resort and also a red week by Cozemel and is a Royal resort which means quality and service. The Shawnee resort is falling apart not 5 star and offers nothing in the winter but skiing and half the time there's no snow at all but trades very high with II and redweek. The Royal resort has no trading power at all. Redweek gave it lowish points and when searching on II almost nothing comes up when 30 + resorts will show up using shawnee ridge top. So on here and II I would be considered trading up by giving up my Royal week for a shawnee week when in fact it's a huge trade down. I know skiing is popular but trust me there's better exchanges out there.
