A decision has been made by THE ClubSM from 1st September not to allow points purchased or ‘transferred’ from another European Collection member to be used for benefits and services provided by THE ClubSM. This means that points purchased this way remain valid for all European Collection resort reservations and for II exchanges, but cannot be used for the member benefits introduced by THE ClubSM earlier this year, such as points redemptions on flights, cruises, etc. or for booking holidays to non European affiliated resorts, which are provided for by THE ClubSM.
This policy decision introduced by THE ClubSM does not impact points owned by any member who has previously purchased points from another member, or has a member points purchase currently being processed, nor does it affect members’ enjoyment of the II exchange and Gold membership benefits. When points are used for a European Collection reservation, then ‘transferred’ points will be deducted used first, so leaving points recognised by THE ClubSM free to be used on member benefits.
All members requesting a new points purchase from another member from this time will be clearly told of this new policy; we will be entirely transparent.
This decision has been made by THE ClubSM operating company, and is a policy change that neither the Diamond Resorts European Collection Board of Directors contributed to nor can vote on.

This is going to make points worth even less now!
