What is a Red Week Timeshare?

A Red week timeshare is a timeshare unit that has the highest amount of demand for a particular season. Most timeshare resorts segment the year into color codes that represent different timesharing seasons by demand. The concept is very similar to the way hotels vary their rates depending on the time of year; getting a room during peak seasons, which are in higher demand, tend to be more expensive than getting a room during off seasons, which are in lower demand.

RCI uses three colors to denote high demand, average demand and low demand. Blue week timeshares have the least amount of demand while Red week timeshares have the highest amount of demand. White week timeshares correlate with an average demand for timeshare use during that particular season. A Red week is the most valuable time slot to have for a timeshare. It means that it’s in high demand in light of a peak season when the most people prefer to vacation such as during the summer at a beach resort or during the winter at ski resort.

When you own a Red week timeshare property, you can essentially request to have your vacation during prime times in the year when you are exchanging your timeshare for one at another desired vacation resort. You have the most flexibility with your vacation options because you can make exchanges any week of the year you want, whether it’s during a peak season or during an off season. These are some things to keep in mind, whether you own a timeshare, looking to buy or sell.
