Re: Diamond Resorts raises maintenance fees again! (by Deanna K.):
We own deeded weeks at a Diamond resort, and have never converted to points. Of course they want us to pay lots more $$ to convert to points, but why? There's nothing they're offering that's worth the cost, and we like owning an actual deeded week.
We can't belong to the Diamond club, but that's really a blessing, since we don't need to pay their $299 club fee. Instead, we can exchange our weeks via either RCI or Interval, and that's working quite nicely.
