Diamond doesn't own (manage) 400 resorts. Diamond manages about 100 resorts and was affiliated with about 300 other resorts/hotels. Anything booked through the Diamond portal had no exchange fees. Only if you go outside the Diamond portal through II or DEX was there an exchange fee. So I would just go on the Diamond portal, find a place I wanted to go and book it with just my points. Booked two weekends last night for next Jan/Feb (get it while the getting's good) and didn't spend an extra penny. Now some say those exchange fees are embedded in out maint fees and that might be true but I don't have to worry about spending any extra money booking locations as long as I stayed inside of the Diamond portal.
Thanks for the explanation. So in essence it was their own trading company.
Why did Diamond start DEX(another internal trading arm) if they already had trading through internal exchanges?
