I do not own any Diamond Points or Deeded weeks. I have stayed at many Diamond properties that I like by exchanging with DAE or Bonus weeks, or Resortime. I am considering buying a deeded week resale. I have read many old posts about Diamond.
My question is, if I buy a deeded week at a resort in a studio and I want to exchange into another Diamond TS in a 1 or 2 Bd, how do I ? Is it difficult to get? Would I be able to exchange internal through Diamond, or would I need to use II or RCI? I would like to trade into San Luis Bay Inn or Kaanapali Beach Club if a buy at Sedona Summit. I have looked at San Luis Bay Inn resales, but it seems like Sedona Summit may be better because it is less to purchase. Which would have the best trading power?
I also am wondering if I could buy small, (a studio) and easily trade up to a 1 BDR, or 2 BDR at SBI for spring (first week of April)
I could continue to try to trade into SBI with my other non Diamond TS's - but wondering if it would be better to purchase into Diamond.
And, can anyone tell me more about bonus time? Can I own at one Diamond resort and get bonus time at another for $65/night? Is bonus time only for deeded weeks, and not for points ownership? I am super confused about Diamond & Wyndam now after hearing it from the front desk when checking it- anyone want to explain?
Thanks Diamond Owners for feedback.
