Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Michael D.):
I also realize that if the Deeded Owners succede in gaining control of the Board of Directors, and get rid of Diamond as the management, the Points Members will not gain anything, and most likely loose something... The Points Owners most likely have paid far more for the Points (Week) equivalent that the Deeded Week owners. I know that we paid $ 56,000 for our two week oceanfront points, and $ 4,200 for 2010 fee's... If you do not have the freedom in your schedule to reserve a full 13 months in advance (12 months for Deeded), you will not find many choices in your selection.... I am not sure what the long term solution to this problem is, but I do know that the more Points that Diamond sells, will hurt all of the Points Members who bought specifically for the Point at Poipu...
