I had recently gone on one of the Diamond resort 4 day stay with the pitch (no I didn't buy then haha). I got it while I was in one of their resorts on an RCI exchange. I currently have a bi annual that suits me relatively well, but some of the DR "perks" did interest me such as the "experience" packages. I mainly travel within the mainland US but do want to branch out and possibly some of these full on experience packages. I just couldn't justify the package they pitched for $10,000 for 5,000 points for a "trial" of (think) 10 years then upgrade again within that time. Just more curious to as if anyone has used this experience package or knows something similar that could offer some insight to it? I am not looking to break the bank on maintenance fees also since I have the current biannual that is actually not a horrible deal being in Kissimmee trough RCI.
Thanks everyone
