Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again!

We received the same mailing. I decided to call the number. After being on hold for 5 minutes I spoke with a young lady. She told me that they have reps around the country who are running free seminars on how to eliminate your maintenance fees. She asked if we had any debt regarding our timeshare, how long we owned it, etc. I got the feeling that they are looking for owners who have fully paid for their timeshare and are current with their maintenance fees, which we are. She then told me that we met their requirements to attend the seminar. She then informed me of the times and dates of local seminars. She also included the speaker's name. I decided to tentatively sign up for it. However, I have since decided not to attend as I cannot find any information about Resorts Owners Association on the web. I'm confident that the presentation is some sort of a sales pitch. The only ways I know of how to eliminate your maintenance fees are to sell the timeshare or lease/rent it.
