Re: Open Letter to Steve Cloobeck, Diamond Resorts International CEO (by Charles S.):
No one says you are foolish because you don't like DRI. Let's not get it twisted. However, I am not foolish because I happen to like DRI. Why do I have to be arrogant because I feel differently. If I along with others happen to get value from our membership, that should be fine too. There are other timeshare developers that put restrictions on you if you buy resale. Marriott is one unless you pay additional fees to them on your resale points.
My point is that DRI is not unique in the industry as it pertains to their practices.
Q=bethm199] Charles your arrogance jumps off the page here and on Facebook. Why do you think we are all foolish if we don't like Diamond? I have a timeshare with Shell (now Wyndham) that I do like. They don't restrict me to just a portion of their properties. Even when I joined the Club, Diamond still restricted me to a limited number of properties, just more than the original ILX group. I bought with ILX. It was not my fault that they went bankrupt and Diamond has restricted my choices. I too will give you my 6000 points allowing you to vacation in Sedona and Scottsdale to your hearts content. I'll even pay the closing costs. If not you, how about one of your other buddies?
