Re: Diamond Resorts reduces owner benefits again! (by Hovhannes A.):
Hello everyone. We are 'former' owner of Monarch. When DRI took over, they called and tried to 'include' us in their 'family' to get more benefits. After my homework I realized the maintenance fees will be more than what we would pay for any vacation outside of timeshare and had to reject their offer. They were very angry about that. Now I don't know what I can do with my old Monarch points. We still have our deposit in Interval International and can use it. Hope it will continue same way since we always used Interval for our vacations. I will be happy to be part of this group and learn more about DRI since they now own Monarch and our contract. I am not happy with this transition after seeing how DRI is treating its members.
