Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Ruth H.):

Please post if you hear from the senators. It just keeps going doesn't it. We bought in Scottsdale under Sunterra where they talked us into point system I can see some merit in this but it leaves a lot of other questions. I feel that Diamond is going to get a lot of flack. if that works depends on who sees the complaints. Even though they have a solid contract you sign how can they continue to get away with high pressure sales that do not show any of the negative but push the good things about points? We went under the "umbrella" of the club and when we did they said it would help keep our maintenance fees down, not true when they double, last year was 25% on the tail of 2008's huge rise. We cannot afford to take vacation after paying the maintenance fee with the high amount of points we have.
