Fixed week conversion to Diamond points...is it worth the conversion cost and additional yearly fee ? (by Jf C.):
I had a salesman visit me and wife at home to talk to us about converting our fixed week TS to points. It was not a high pressure sale but you sure are made to feel as you'll miss the boat if you don't sign up . I was quoted $2900+ to convert my two bedroom unit for 16000 points. A lot more than if you converted Hilton or other group. He also subtly said we also pay $230 more per year. This is higher than RCI or II yearly fee. I passed on the offer but I felt I should research. Any advice...especially from owners that have transferred would be appreciated.
