Re: Diamond Resorts Points devalued again

I use my points so I don't have an immediate issue except for the reduction in # of days from 59 to 30 in the flexchange program. However, for people who want to get out of their timeshare obligations for whatever the reason, will basically not get any monetary compensation for it. If you look at some of the posting, some owners are giving away their DRI points for just the cost of the paperwork fee just to get out of the contract. The new owners would then be required to pay multi thousands of dollars to get the points back into play. Also, the DRI club fee is capped at $450 per year per account so if you were given 5000 points for zero dollars, you would have pay a few thousand to have them deposit them into your existing account. It will probably cost more to open a new account and deposit the new points into it. If anyone has information on the actual cost, please share.
