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

I would be careful and read every document carefully they have everything written in there so legally you can't do anything they might say you don't need to own anything and at the end you may have to purchase something. We do have club dues just today I spoke with quality assurance officer for diamond and she had no answers for me what so ever for the reason why I couldn't book a vacation even going out a year in calendar with no specific dates we were pretty much open to availability. They make everything sound great in there four hour meetings with one person right after another all giving there sales pitch and perfect story. Check the resort you are wanting to go to most of the time you can get it cheaper paying for it out right. For example I booked for Naples Florida today went online and could have got the same room for $76.00 per night. [Q=amandak109] Don't do it run don't walk run from Diamond resorts they are nothing but a scam at a high cost you pay a high price for no availability and keep paying for it over and over and there deeded crap you can pass to your children is just bullshit by then your kids points won't be worth anything. [Q=amyk231] So was purchasing 10,000 DRI points to be used over two years at any of a dozen refurbished resorts for $1,500 and no mf's a good deal? I have very limited resort availibility, but there are one or two I'm considering going to. I will own nothing and be a member of nothing at the end of two years if I do not buy into DRI for $26,000 (10,000 points) as was the price quoted to me last week. Suggestions? (Besides maintenance fee's, do members pay other fee's to belong to the "club" per year?) I traded in using RCI and did NOT get a refurbished unit. Ugh. At Powhattan. I like the idea of no exchange fees, but not if mf's are so high![/Q][/Q]
