I'm thinking about purchasing resale points. I currently don't have any points or deeded property with DRI. This will be my first DRI purchase. I read a post that sounds like the points I'm interested in would be of no use to me if I don't already own points that are already in The Club? Would these points be worthless and unusable for me if I'm not part of The a Club? Would I be forced to roll these points into The Club in order to use them?
Thanks!
Alright, first of all, keep it to one thread and/or check previous DRI threads for more answers. So, I surmise you have a potential purchase from another DRI points member for their 2014 points- probably for free, mf's paid, $250- transfer fee paid, and maybe an inducement ($)- correct so far?
what collection? US Collection
European Collection
Hawaii Collection
California Collection
Greek Collection
Any resale takes time to transfer from the closing agent and from Diamond's back office transfer dept.. And that varies but to be
safe with all proper paperwork on house - 2 months. Now, get this part down: you can only use the points you acquire, when acquired, in
that collection subject to availability.
And the 2015 dues will come out in Nov due in January.
So, you can use points you acquire if transferred in time, used in that collection only and the room(s) are available and you have enough points.
In regards to being able to use II for these, like a free gateway to II, don't count on it.
You don't have to be a member of the CLUB to use these "regional" points. If you wanted to spend big bucks later after you knew what you were doing, then you could buy some costly points ($7point) from DRI developer and they would allow some of your free points to be added to the initial allotment of Club points. You then of course are a member of the Club. Then, you discern that you needed enough points to get to silver and make it workable. This is later for you, if ever, as it is costly and requires much study and thought.
also, to save points at this point till next year, you will lose %%% of those per their program.
