Re: Diamond Resorts International (DRI) "THE CLUB" Points Program & Converting your Week to Points (by Michael D.):
If you are a satisfied points owner why are you here....? Why are you making statements that are promoting more points to be sold... Do you know how many members there are in any given collection, I will bet it is way beyond the number of units times the number of weeks in the year... Selling air is about the same deal.... You are selling just like those at any resort presentation "High Pressure" and when a serious question is asked, shuffle that person off to a more powerful sales person... Let all potential vacation buyer's beware, they will sell as many as they can, my past experience with DRI was the fee's the first year 2008 - 2009 went up 50%, second year 2009 - 2010 went up 25% and then a special assessment was levied that was equal to over 200% of the annual fee... The Deeded Owners got hit with double that amount, because they wanted to pressure them to surrender their Deeds in favor of points, as you have far less power in the points system... Why do you think there is a Federal Class Lawsuit filed with the US District Court in Honolulu...
