Re: Diamond Resorts International (DRI) "THE CLUB" Points Program & Converting your Week to Points

We just went for our "owners update" also know as "how many points can we get them to buy this time". We were first presented with a paper listing what they said were the "going prices" They were outrageous. It was $51,000 for 8500 points $102,000 for 17,000 points etc. Yah right who would pay that. They wanted us to sign something to lock those prices in so that we could buy anytime in the next 18 months. That is dumb. Those high prices will go up even higher? Then they came back with some story about our opportunity to buy at cheaper prices because we were previous owners who still have a chance at a lower price. The prices were much lower. For example it was $24, 510 for 9500 points and $60,475 for 29,500 points. I've heard of others paying $26,000 for 10,000 points recently so what you paid sounds about right. They show us the outrageous prices, then they show us the right prices to make us think it is a great deal. They are deceptive. It would be interesting to hear what others pay and if they have seen the option to buy points list that I saw with the high prices.
