So what does DRI owners feel so far of the new exchange system?.. pros and cons. Thanks.
Way too expensive.
At this moment almost every things is tier 6 (12,000 pts) as per the grid for up to sleep 4
Until October 31, 2020 every unit size are the same cost as the sleep 4
After October 31, 2020, we will need to pay cash or with points for bigger units based on this grid
As a silver member, it will cost me for a 3 bdrm sleep 8 tier 6: 12,000 pts (sleep 4) + 5,500 pts (sleep 4 to sleep 8) =17,500 pts or 12,000 pts (sleep 4) + $440 (sleep 4 to sleep 8) or any combination of tier level upgrade like 2,000 pts (tier 1 sleep 4) + 5x$220 (tier 1 to tier 6) + $440 (sleep 4 to sleep 8) = 2,000 pts + $1,540. We must pay on top of this the exchange fee of $149 as silver member.
They are crazy. Those resorts are not II resorts but RCI resorts.
On II a 3 bdrm at a premium resort peak season cost 10,000 pts.
Also, when we look at the DestinationXchange for deeded weeks owners where DRI have assigned a tier level to all their resorts, we see that for a resort in Orlando in February like Mystic Dunes Resorts, the tier level assigned is 1 or 2 and not 6 like they put for HICV at Orange Lake. HICV at Orange Lake should be 2,000 (tier 1) or 4,000 pts (tier 2) and not 12,000 pts (tier 6) for a 1 bdrm. On II, Orlando in Feb is 5,500 pts for a 1 bdrm (TDI 120 to 135).
