Diamond Resorts-is it a scam?
Comments

roughandready,
its "have to" not "after".
"independent" means prizes are not awarded by DiamondResorts but by someone outside who does not have a financial interest in DRI.
With your duplicity have you thought about entering politics?
Still waiting to hear how much of your own money you've wasted on your company's product and how much it will cost you over your lifetime. Based on previous threads & discussion, probably not a lot change out of $500k?From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings

Attend a 90 minute presentation OR:
Just phone an 0900 number, wait 7 minutes and be awarded similar.
Save 83 minutes of !!!! LOL0 -
The gift offers are all lies,lies and more lies.............if anybody with more than one post has ever recieved any of these gifts having not bought the timeshare would they please let us know.............i wont hold my breath..........All timeshare and holiday points is based on lies and deception.
You really have to be stupid to fall for the sales patter,but not as stupid as to go along to the presentation,or is it greed trying to get something for nothing that makes any right thinking person lose all sense of reason...........
If i read any more "I have won a holiday,do you think it could be a scam" posts i will know for sure that there is one born every minute.Political?....I dont do Political....well,not much!0 -

& roughandready continues to spout his non- answers. The prizes are not independently verified and he won't say how much his company's product would cost of its lifetime. Definetly

Actually it is not a scam. We went on two presentations (not taking the free holiday on the first) and are now members and you do get good quality accommodation at a range of resorts across the world and the choice is widening.0

Hi
There are a lot of these companies who are scams but the prof of the pudding is in the tasting and we like it and are not stooges. We have are compaints but on the whole you do get what they say - just the management fees have gone up a lot recently.0 -
Adbaz,
seeing as roughand ready cannot process everyday english, maybe you could answer my questions.
Are you aware of anyone winning a big prize that hasn't bought DRI's products?
How much are you going to spend with DRI over the lifetime of your ownership (so purchase price and & annual management fees x years of membership).
I'm working this weekend so may not be able to respond till next week.From MSE Martin - Some General Tips On Holiday Home Organisations and Sales Meetings
