Can't read that email.

 

[Almond123]

Sorry I can delete it if it’s not able to be read by anyone. They have a link to the 2022 fee schedule and it shows a few increases like the fee to upgrade to a tighter tier is now 225 up from 175. The cancellation fee is higher as well. Let me know if I should delete. Thanks.

 

[GT75]

I can read your post except for a few high-level points such as a listing of the resorts.

Yep. I noticed that as I was looking at exchanging earlier this week, and that's the price listed.

Sorry I can delete it if it’s not able to be read by anyone.

Your original post takes up waaaaaaay too much space. Would be better to copy/paste the words as text.

Exactly where in the Dashboard are you seeing the 2022 Fee Schedule? I got the same email and it just links to the Reservations page.

I didn't look on the dashboard. I saw it as I was going through the process for an exchange. I clicked on tier upgrade link to see the cost.

 

[pedro47]

Did all DRI owners and Club members received this email ?

What does Tier 1 - Tier 6 means and what is the points break down for each tier?

Is it the same points used under the old DRI Points system?

NiteMaire, where did you find the Tier link (what page) and the costs?

There are going to be some huge unhappy DRI owners. My son did not rec'd this email from Hilton as of 1:50M.
I just call him on his cellphone.

Thanks

Also everybody can search availability in DeX for deeded owners

[pedro47]

Sounds liked it is mandatory to use DeX for exchanges.
Can you still used the old DRI system to exchange into the old DRI resorts,
with out paying exchange fees. That was a plus for DRI Club members.

You stated the answers very clearly. Thanks

True, but it limits you to a 60-day search windows (you can search up to 2 years out, but not at once) if you aren't logged in. When owners login, there is no limit on the window up to 2 years out.
I searched DeX as we were buying my buying a legacy week. While I could see inventory, I thought it was clunky in how I had to "walk" my searches in 60-day increments. After our account was established, I was happy when I logged in and realized owners can do a 2-year search window (like II).

Sounds liked it is mandatory to use DeX for exchanges.

Owners have other exchange options. You can still exchange through II and other companies. Our resort now include DeX as part of the MF; we still pay exchange/upgrade fees. We plan on using DeX as our primary exchange for our DRI/future HVC Sedona Summit unit (unless inventory/rules change drastically), but we still have the option of using II.

"With lower Exchange Fees"...I presume, if asked, DRI would say that's true when compared to II and RCI exchange fees. The exchange fee hasn't gone down (was previously $149 for online exchanges, $159 for phone exchanges). Also, the DeX membership fee stayed the same. However, the tier upgrade, guest certificates, and late deposit fees have all increased(!), but that's different than the exchange fee. Late deposit fee jumped from $79 to $149!

Can you explain what is a late deposit fee???. Thanks for cooperation and help on this subject.
