Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Marcia O.):

We are former Sunterra owners ,now DRI, and really are disgusted with the increasing maintainence fees. We have been invited to a "member update" in 2 weeks and are really concerned that the 90 minutes will turn into 3 hrs. What could they possibly tell me that I don't already know: The Club is a joke The availability is spotty at best, except at the "least desirable" places in the off season The rules constantly change, are they now charging $250 if you "transfer" a reservation to a family member to use? Worst of all, my $13,000 dollar investment is worth $100 Give me some insight...should we attend this update, they are offering a $250 Visa Card as a carrot? Thanks for any help you can give me..........mso in Tucson
