Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Charles S.):
I have been with Diamond Resorts International (DRI) and they have never gone up on points needed for any of their resorts and prior to their takeover of Sunterra. I have been with them for The rule was they could not ask for more points for a specifc room than when you joined. I joineed 10 years ago and have not seen an increase in points needed. The increase in points are usually seen in a resort if they make a major change in the room and I don't mean refurbishing it also. When DRI has added extra features to rooms in which they may have added rooms or changed the structure of the units do they tack on more points. However, they also keep regular units so you can still attend those resorts. I believe Disney may do so also, but they should let people know.
