About Diamond Resorts
Diamond Resorts International was a points-based timeshare developer with a strong presence in Hawaii, Las Vegas, Sedona, and Mexico. In 2021 Hilton Grand Vacations acquired Diamond for $1.4 billion and rebranded the integrated portfolio under HGV Max (launched 2022). For Diamond owners this means: (1) original Diamond contracts continue under their legacy terms; (2) cross-booking access opens up the Hilton portfolio; (3) Diamond Vacations Club and Diamond Sampler programs still operate but are being gradually phased into HGV systems. Diamond historically had a difficult reputation — high-pressure sales presentations, expensive maintenance fees, and limited exit programs — which is one reason resale value is lower than HGV-originated contracts.
How Diamond Resorts Points Work
Diamond Points cover Diamond-owned resorts (and now Hilton-affiliated properties via HGV Max). Reservations are priced by resort, season, and unit size on a published point chart. Standard Club members book 13 months out at home; Sampler members have shorter windows. Diamond historically restricted point banking and made forfeiture of unused points common — many of the BBB complaints against Diamond stem from owners who paid maintenance fees for unused points that expired before they could find a usable booking.
Typical Allocations
| Tier | Diamond Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sampler (trial) | 5,000–10,000 | Marketed as a "test drive" but contractually binding; difficult to exit |
| Standard Club | 7,500–20,000 | Most common allocation; covers a peak-season week in Hawaii or Vegas |
| Gold | 20,000–35,000 | Discounts on housekeeping and reservation fees |
| Platinum | 35,000–50,000 | Top tier; concierge service and best discounts |
| Founder/Centurion | 50,000+ | Rare; legacy Sunterra or Epic-era contracts |
Renting vs. Selling Your Diamond Points
Diamond Points have decent rental economics in Hawaii, Las Vegas, and Sedona — the markets where Diamond properties cluster. Per-point rental value is $0.08–$0.18, so a typical 15,000-point allocation rents for $1,200–$2,700 per year. Owners selling expiring points to buyer services typically receive $0.05–$0.12 per point in upfront cash. Diamond's reputation issues mean owners are often eager to monetize before contracts feel like more of a liability than an asset.
Diamond historically operated a limited "Transitions" program for owners to exit, but acceptance was selective and the program is being restructured under HGV ownership. Resale market is weak — Diamond contracts often sell for $0–$1,000 even for large point allocations, due to brand reputation and high maintenance fees. The most reliable exit path is via HGV's post-merger programs as those mature; in the meantime, Diamond owners often see better economics from renting out points (or selling them upfront) than from selling the contract itself.
Expiration & Banking Rules
Diamond Points expire annually at the end of your use year unless banked forward. Diamond historically charged for banking and made the process cumbersome — many owners forfeit points without realizing they have alternatives. Under HGV Max, integration is making banking somewhat easier, but the underlying Diamond contract terms still apply. For even points close to expiration, services like Timeshare Rental Pros will often pay cash upfront rather than letting them lapse.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much are Diamond Resorts points worth?
Diamond Points are worth $0.08–$0.18 on the secondary rental market, depending on resort mix. A typical 15,000-point allocation rents for approximately $1,200–$2,700 per year. Hawaii and Vegas properties get the highest per-point value.
What happened to Diamond Resorts?
Hilton Grand Vacations acquired Diamond Resorts International in 2021 for $1.4 billion. The combined company operates under HGV Max (launched 2022), which integrates Diamond resorts with the Hilton Grand Vacations portfolio for cross-booking. Original Diamond contracts continue under their legacy terms.
Why is Diamond Resorts known for high-pressure sales?
Diamond historically had a strong reputation for aggressive sales presentations, expensive maintenance fees, and limited exit options. In 2017, the Arizona Attorney General reached a settlement with Diamond Resorts over high-pressure and deceptive sales practices. Under HGV ownership, sales practices have moderated, but the historical reputation contributes to weak resale value for Diamond contracts.
Can I sell my Diamond Resorts timeshare?
Yes, but expect very low recovery. Diamond contracts often sell for $0–$1,000 on the resale market even for large point allocations. The brand reputation, high maintenance fees, and limited exit options weigh on resale value. Many Diamond owners get better economics by renting out their annual points rather than selling the underlying contract.
What is HGV Max for Diamond owners?
HGV Max is the unified booking program that gives Diamond owners access to Hilton Grand Vacations properties (and vice versa). It launched in 2022 after the HGV acquisition. Diamond owners under HGV Max can book at Hilton-branded resorts using a modified point chart. The integration is ongoing.
How do I rent out my Diamond Resorts points?
Self-rent by booking peak weeks in Hawaii, Las Vegas, or Sedona — Diamond's strongest markets — and list on Airbnb or Vrbo. Or sell your annual points to a buyer service like Timeshare Rental Pros for cash upfront. Given Diamond's expiration rules and limited banking, monetizing each year's points proactively is critical.
