Marty,

Would it be reasonable to suppose that Redweek's valuations are calculated pretty much like RCI's, insofar and you have the equivalent information: (Direct quote from RCI site follows)

RCI Weeks Trading Power is based on:

4.1 The demand, supply, classification grouping, and utilization of the Deposited Vacation Time 4.2 The demand, supply, classification grouping, utilization of the Affiliated Resort and geographic region associated with the Deposited Vacation Time. 4.3 The seasonal designation of the Deposited Vacation Time. 4.4 The size and type of the unit Deposited (i.e., number of bedrooms, kitchen type and Maximum/Private Occupancy of the physical unit). 4.5 The Comment Card Scores of the Deposited Vacation Time. 4.6 The date of Deposit and the start date of the Deposited Vacation Time.

NOTE: RCI Weeks Exchange Program use patterns impact a Member's Trading Power. In addition, Demand, supply, seasonal designation, utilization and Comment Card Scores may change over time and also impact Trading Power. RCI Comment Cards are solicited by RCI from Members as a means to gather information on each Affiliated Resort participating in the RCI Weeks Exchange Program. The consumer-driven Comment Card Scores are updated monthly. Trading Power may vary depending on when the Deposit is made and the start date of the Vacation Time. Certain criteria upon which Trading Power is established, as outlined above, are waived for Members requesting Internal Exchanges within their Home Resort or Home Group. In addition, due to technical limitations, the Trading Power criteria cited above are waived as to requests for exchanges to and from resorts where a computer link has not been established.

Please understand that we cannot go into specifics. This is proprietary information, and although I would love for you to understand how it works, we have to keep in mind that our competitors would also love to understand it.

Thanks, Marty
