[Q=lindaw642] [Q=charless345] Just understand that not everyone is unhappy with DRI. There are also owners like myself who are happy. DRI is like any other timeshare in that it has its positives and negatives. I too own Marriott. They have their pluses and minuses. Many people who had weeks in the Marriott system and were adverse against it have now found it to be a plus. DRI or Marriott does not matter. The key is to learn how to use your membership in either case. Most don't learn how to use their membership and don't even use it and then complain because they are paying maintenance fees. So my advice is to learn to use your memberships first before passing judgment and learn the nuances to it. You may be suprised by what you discover. By the way, I love my DRI membership in conjunction with Marriott. The two of them work very, very well together.[/Q] So then are current happy owners the target audience for anyone looking to sell their points? I'm sure that there are many owners who would be willing to give away their points to just avoid MFs.[/Q] Linda, I would most certainly buy them from you for $1. However, just like I wanted to buy a flat screen television, I will wait until I need them. I have 30,000 points. That is more than enough for my current needs along with my Marriott points. Thus, with these two I pay over $5000 in maintenance fees each year. However, even if I were a newbie coming into the system, I would not pick up your points unless i could get DRI to allow them to become Club points. I would want total flexibility and not be handcuffed to only a portion of the DRI repertoire. Now I have heard that they do allow you to bring in resale points as long as you buy a certain amount of developer points. Because I am a happy owner, it does not make me go beyond my piggybank to make a foolish owner. :-)
