We bought a 3 brd in Grand Beach Orlando on resale. We are not allowed access to others. How do we upgrade to be able to book other Diamond properties? We love this property but would like to explore others within the system.

You need to join their internal exchange program, Destination Exchange. You can find documentation and browse inventory on the owner pages.

I have not checked whether or not DesExc is limited to places DRI has weeks they own or Owners have traded through the Program. Another way is to buy a large number of Points from DRI.

The roster of resorts in DX is rather large. What is unknown is how much inventory is actually available in those locations.

As I posted in the thread below, in reviewing the program rules and information recently, it appeared to me that DX was going to be a platform for making Embarc inventory available to Club members, as well as the reverse (Embarc members to access DRI inventory).

This is a piggy back post question from another thread.

I thought you save 100% of your Club Points before June 30. Have that changed ?

If you want to keep them in your normal DRI Account then yes June 30 is the deadline to be able to save all your Points. You can still use them in the current year. They only draw back the number needed for the Reservation.
