6700 DRI Points Expiring

[cigarzan]

HELP!!. I have 6700 unused Diamond points that will expire at the end of the year. I cant travel any more this year. Any ideas how to use them or push them into 2020?

You are past the final date to roll over into next year. I always roll over my Points in January. If I need to use them in the current year DRI rolls them back.

Yes, I was aware of that. Unfortunately we had to cancel a trip in Sept and the points were redeposited on our account. I was/am hoping a fellow Tugger had figured out a "work-around".

Suggestion only go into their website and saved them now.

The only possible work around for points that can't be rolled would have been to utilize II but that option stops on 31 Oct and we are into Nov.

I suggest sending a family member or a good friend on a trip. They might even give you some money for the vacation.

Can't. Cut off is 31 Oct for rolling points into the next year.

Can they be deposited into II.

Can they be deposited into II.

Current year points must be used in II before Oct 31. If a reservation is made after that date next year's points are used.

So the OP, needs to book an exchange within DRI, The Club system in the next few weeks correct. To the OP please book something.

I am in a worse situation with Diamond Resorts.
This is December 29 and I have 67,000 points expiring in 2 days.
I have had personal emergencies all year and was unable to travel.
Unfortunately,when we went for our update 2 days ago, the sales department only wanted to sell the so-called redemption program to me for another $20,000 before they would allow me to roll my points into 2020.
I did not accept their offer as I do not believe them that the redemption points can be used to pay our maintenance fees in the future.
I will really like get out of my almost $9000 maintenance fees but it looks like I am trapped.
Any advice?

Ebute.....Suggestion only call them ASAP and ask for a supervisor or a manager and tell them what happen.
As my old college professor told us always "ask for forgiveness," Dr. Chong Pak.

67,000 points must be at least 3 - 4 seven (7) nights vacations or more.
