One of the questions we hear most often is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“How are your prices so low…there must be a catch right?”<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, we understand the skepticism. In a world where telemarketers ask for your social security number and timeshare companies try to lure you in with questionable tactics, we all have good reason to be weary of deals that seem too good to be true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in the name of calming worries and eradicating confusion, we are here to explain how our unbelievably low prices are feasible. And yes, we promise there is no catch<\/em>. No seedy salesman tactics here folks! We treat our members the way we want to be treated; with transparency and respect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How RedWeek.com Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RedWeek.com<\/a> is one of the largest, most trusted timeshare booking sites online. That simply means we have a loyal community<\/a> of both owners and non-owners who have joined together to share their rentals at direct cost to you.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here at RedWeek, you will find luxurious rentals at breathtaking resort destinations\u2026offered to you at owner-direct prices. This means you only pay a fraction<\/em> of the resort\u2019s rates because you are renting directly from an owner\u2014with RedWeek<\/a> as a trustworthy middleman and customer-friendly host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Price Difference Explained<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reason you can find our timeshare rentals cheaper than even the \u201cbest advertised rates\u201d elsewhere is because our rental inventory comes from individual timeshare owners.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals are not bound by contracted nightly rates, and therefore have the luxury of being more flexible with their pricing. Most owners are simply looking to match the cost of their timeshare investment for that year so they don\u2019t end up losing<\/em> any money. In short: this means you can access the same rooms at the same resorts, even if you haven\u2019t committed to being a timeshare owner yourself! Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another cost that many people don’t realize factors into their final price is travel industry markups. When you book resorts on most major travel sites, you are typically paying markups for at least two companies<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 the travel site AND the inventory \u201cchannel manager\u201d that consolidates the inventory for the site. Each company typically marks the price up between 12 \u2013 25%<\/strong>. By the time you book your rental, you have paid varying steep fees to several middlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RedWeek<\/a> inventory, posted directly by the individual owners, bypasses all of that. We charge a minimal fee for using our online system to cover credit card processing and our operating costs. However, our total<\/strong> fees are still lower than each individual<\/strong> company\u2019s markup involved in a typical travel transaction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price Comparison Roundup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alright, let’s talk numbers. Here is a look into some current price comparisons for 2021. On average, RedWeek prices are about a quarter of the cost from resort sites, and close to half of the cost you can find on travel deal sites. Here are a few current price differences to review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a little shocking, right? If your gut reaction when seeing these prices is “No way, there’s gotta be a catch”<\/em>, then you are not alone. Now that we’ve explained how our business model works, we hope you can see these numbers for what they truly are: simply really great deals!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So, There\u2019s No Catch?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No catch. Many people get spooked by our amazing deals and opt for higher resort prices rather than risk dealing with a small business they’re not familiar with. This is a valid concern, and ultimately why we don\u2019t recommend travelers utilize those timeshares posted on Craigslist you sometimes see\u2026yikes!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is precisely what we are here for: to connect you to the lowest prices while offering the protection you desire. When you browse our rentals<\/a>, look for those marked verified & protected<\/a> for an additional layer of security and peace-of-mind. Those can be booked online quickly and<\/em> we protect your funds. No muss, no fuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2026Not Even a Tour?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are painfully aware that most people associate timeshare with salesmen and lofty promises. We completely understand you being wary of a tour pitch around the corner\u2026as it is often required to get timeshare stays at such low rates.This is absolutely NOT how we do business here at RedWeek<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are quite literally here to connect owners to renters, and renters to owners. That\u2019s it. No catches, no hooks, NO TOURS.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now, with all of these benefits laid out clearly on the table, it is important to acknowledge that there are some sites out there that are riskier to use than others. That\u2019s where we come in. RedWeek is the most trusted online timeshare community, which basically means we have your back\u2014whether you\u2019re a long-time owner or a new member just looking to rent occasionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
