Re: Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by Erman C.):

Greetings,

I'm new to this forum particular forum and need some input on what the members views/experiences on Diamond Resorts Inc (DRI) continued push to get deeded owners to convert/upgrade to the Points program. I own six deeded Diamond units in Williamsburg, VA and Tahoe. I expect to sell or surrender half of my units and only retain the deeded dates I can use annually or rent out easily.

DRI sales staff propose greater flexibility and choice by using points at any of their collection properties. The cost to convert is very high though considering deeded owners have already spent large sums to purchase the deeded property. DRI has also increased maintenance fees drastically especially at former Sunterra properties making continued ownership difficult.

Should I sell the extra weeks and rent via RedWeek for additional vacations? Convert to DRI points? If so why?
