We used to own a week. We went to Hawaii (multiple times), Sedona, Squaw Valley and pretty much any place we wanted to go with that week. We were pressured repeatedly to upgrade to points. We were told that eventually we wouldn't be able to use weeks. We finally caved into the pressure and paid to "upgrade." Since buying into the point system through Diamond Resorts, we haven't been able to go anywhere except our home resort once for a weekend. We were also told that they owned many hotel properties and that we would get great discounts on hotels when we traveled. We have yet to be able to find or book one of these hotels in the two years since we bought into this fiasco.
