Has skyauction changed or what is going on

Over the last three years we have purchased a week at skyauction for around 200-300 dollars from the ready set go auctions, then you were charged a 195.00 fee, I see now that it is 295.00. Now, I notice there is a home away from home auction also with a 100.00 gift certificate, the fee for these rooms are 195.00 and it seems to have the same selection of resorts as the ready set go auction, would this not be a better deal , or am I missing something, like the fine print

no the home away is a better deal.

but it use to be FREE!!!

so the $195 charge is even more for it.

they generally only have studio or 1-bedroom until the time is closer.
a few 2-bedroom but not many.

So actually the home away from home is the same as the ready set go auctions used to be, before they increased in price, right? Now what is the 100.00 certificate for?

 

[spiceycat]

you have so many months after your win to use that $100 certificate.

you can't use it on the auction you won with 'home away' - but anything AFTER that is fine.
