DRI senior management does seem to be very sensitive to comments and feedback on matters such as this. I believe one of the posters on this thread was working with a principle at DRI on this. That person was under the...

My thoughts expressed to the DRI person I've been talking with forcing us to use Phone Reps will be a Killer on their time. I search various dates, resorts and the like for deals. They won't be able to give me what I use today, no way. It won't be time efficient for them, it'll be frustrating and block others from having free phone reps to call. If their Programmers can "fix a glitch" in the system by...

Thank you for your report on the annual meeting. I would go, but unfortunately, I own in the Collective US Trust, can't get a reservation in Las Vegas for the short stay of the meeting. Anyway, I'd have to spend more money flying just to get there. We bought a week in Kaanapoli, Maui in 2006. Then in 2008 we were talked into converting our points buying more to add up to 10,000 points in the US Trust. It sounded like we had more...

I agree that the spiraling costs of MFs has hit TS owners very hard. Probably the majority of owners got into TSing the old-fashioned way, by buying upfront from the TS. So that makes the cost of ownership that much more expensive. (fortunately, we've learned from that and will only purchase resale in the future ) Overall, though, I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with my TS ownership. We own 13,000 points and are part of the...

I bought a resale membership in the US Collection almost 5 years ago - under the Sunterra management. I have always been able to use the online reservation system to make reservations at the 19 US Collection resorts, and have generally been well pleased with the process and the trips we have taken. About three weeks ago, the online reservation capability disappeared for me. I called DRI today to inquire, and was told that I can no longer use...

We should close soon on a deeded annual use week at Point at Poipu. We picked it up very cheap (under $500) on eBay and diamond did not exercise their right of first refusal. We got an email on a monday saying it was being sent to diamond and we should get an answer in 2-4 weeks. 2 days later on a wednesday we got another email saying diamond did not exercise ROFR and it would be going to recording. Crossing fingers is should close very soon....
