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

dianas232 The person who replied to my message about the difficulty in using points-I simply stated that I have a great no. of points to use,but every time I find a resort listed in the II catalog, it is not available for the dates or even the season I want.The no.of points lose value until they are outdated.Don't worry, though, they will soon be replaced by more unusable points! If you want to go to the tropics in summer or the Arctic Circle in Dec. ,You might have success. What is confusing is how did we get into this mess in the first place. Someone wrote correctly ''points are like fresh air"- but not free! When we call the resorts DIRECTLY-they say that they have openings when we want them ,but II says they don't.
