Free Timeshare - 15,960 (equivalent to 266 old MGV points) Biennial Points, award in every other December in odd years, floating days/weeks in a 2-year period. Quarterly maintenance fee is $311.22, which will be paid through the end of 2014 as well as the transfer fee. The current 15,960 points are available to use until 11/30/2015.

There are 9 luxury resorts in Monarch Grand Vacations, which offer owners the opportunity to visit Las Vegas strip, stay in an authentic ski lodge in Lake Tahoe, enjoy the California sunshine, or experience the beach-front vacation at Cabo Azul Resort & Spa in Los Cabos, Mexico. It’s also exchangeable on Interval World (membership fees apply). https://www.diamondresorts.com/

This 15,960 points (or 266 Monarch Grand Vacation points) can be typically used for 1 bed room villa for 2 weeks, or it can be stretched to four 5-day vacations if only use for Sunday to Thursday because the weekend costs more points. After 14 years of ownership, kids grownup, we won't be able to utilize it anymore. Give it away for free, plus one year maintenance fee paid (2014), while the newly awarded points are ready to use in any of these 9 resorts.

MF paid, diamond transfers

Be careful, hopefully you haven't paid 2014mf.
Diamond will not transfer points to new owner, nor prepaid maintenance fees.
So if you have paid, this obviously won't transfer until 2014.
So new owner will not get 2014 points, nor 2014mf. Diamond keeps them both and new owner will start usage in 2015. Just fyi

Not true. I bought a resale. I got credit for the prepaid maintenance fees.
