Re: Diamond Resorts International (DRI) "THE CLUB" Points Program & Converting your Week to Points (by Charles S.):
I am not sure where you received this information, but it is incorrect. You do not pay less maintenance fees if you have more points. In fact, everyone in a specific collection pays the same amount per point and then add Club fees and administrative fees to it.
What you may have heard was that the more points you BUY from DRI may decrease. DRI may not charge you $6.00 per point if you buy 20,000 points but may charge you $4.50 per point. However, if you were only going to BUY 10,000 points they may charge you the regular $6.00 per point. Such is NOT the case with maintenance fees.

For example someone who owns 10,000 points could be paying $2,500 in mf while someone with 20,000 might be paying $4,600 (not $5000). Someone who owns $40,000 might be paying $6,500. Those aren't the real fees but show my point. So maintenance fees do not follow a constant rate. Instead the more points you own the less your per point charge.Christine
