For DRI Points Owners Who Wish to Reserve More Than a Week

If you are a DRI points owner who wishes to use the DRI web page to reserve a stay of more than a week, but not a multiple of 7 days, you must jump through a hoop.

Specifically: To avoid being overcharged (as it stands today...I am working on getting it changed) you must reserve your primary week and then make a separate reservation for your adjoining midweek days.

Example: If I seek a 12-night stay, starting on a Sunday, the web site will assign a rate higher than if I make 2 separate reservations...one for one week and the other for 5 nights.

I have reported this problem to two different DRI offices, but neither showed interest in addressing the issue. Nor would they promise to refer it to someone with authority to direct a fix.

Frustrating, but I can live with it. Now I must get our resort to allow us to stay in the same unit for the full period. I fail to see how this extra effort on the resort's part is efficient for DRI.

FWIW, I suggest you be careful if you reserve by phone. From what the folks I talked with said, they are likely to do the same thing to you.

I never noticed that before. Good Info.

If you dont check in on a friday, saturday, and I beleive sunday, they charge you the daily point rate even if you reserve for 7 days. It is 10 percent higher in point total than the weekly point chart

Points values

To see the points values of all DRI resorts, log into the DRI web page, click on "Member Information" at the lower left, and then select "Annual Global Reservations Directory."

At the bottom of the DRI members webpage is a link to forums for members that they moderate. Try post about that problem on their site and see if you get a better response.
