Changees in amount of points to rent at Greensprings

[lewmel Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close lewmel]

Hi everyone,
I recently (about a week ago) booked a 2 bedroom at Greensprings. When I first did the search from June 1 to June 8th it showed 7150 points for the week, but if I rented from May 31st to June 7th it was only 1625 points. So I booked the 1625. Today I decided I should reserve another room for the same dates and use it for a rental; because it was such a small amount of points I figured I would have no problem renting it at a great point to rent ratio. Well, when I went online to book it, now it shows 6500 points for May 31st to June 7th.
Does anyone understand this?
Thanks

Sounds like there may have been a computer glitch to allow you to get the first reservation with so few points. Are you sure your are booked for a whole week and not just a weekend?

Yeah I have the confirmation number and the dates with the amount of points used. It doesnt make sense to me!

Take 'em and run! You got quite a deal. Hopefully DRI won't come back and demand the extra points!

The monthly CLUB specials shows Greensprings at 75% off January through May. So according to my calculation Greensprings week 22 is High Season so a 2 bedroom rate is regularly 6,500 points per week, so 75% off of 6500 is 1625. That is what it should go for, unless they have decided to do away with CLUB specials along with all the other crap they are trying to pull. If you want to book it for 1625, call them up and find out why it isn't showing up at 75% off online any more.

Thanks for the info! I did not pay attention to the club specials. Is there a link for the specials, I usually dont save the emails that they send me. I wonder if they only let you get one room at the discounted rate.
Thanks again

Club Specials can end/change at any time and this one did. Special is no longer valid for May reservations.

I also didn't think about club specials. Thanks everyone for the reminder. I'm surprised that DRI linked the regular reservation to the specials, given their history. Can anyone tell me where the Club specials are posted? THANKS SO MUCH!

Spence, any chance we could have a sticky with a link to the Club specials as they are announced? That would be extremely helpful for those of us who no longer get the e-mails. THANK YOU!!!

This link is not from within DRI's website, is it? Does anyone know how to get to this discount page while navigating from the DRI website?

Thanxxx, Jim

Dale7,

Where did you get your link? Was it in an e-mail? Or on the DRI site?

I could use this information on a regular basis since it is so helpful when planning trips.

Thanxxx, Jim

I have noticed that Greensprings is higher in points than Powhatan. Powhatan has semi-real fireplaces and hot tubs on the ground level, so would have thought it would be the other way around. Any ideas why?
