Diamond Resorts-is it a scam?

I have had an unsolicited letter from 'Diamond Resorts' offering me a 2 night break in a luxury apartment in the UK (Devon/Staffs/Lake District) for £69, just for listening to their 90 minute sales pitch (timeshare).

Now, I have NO intention of ever buying a timeshare, but is it worth that 90 minutes for a super-cheap break? My 'too good to be true' radar suggests it probably is a bit rubbish, but has anyone else used them? Any cautionary tales etc?

Thanks!

If you're prepared to 'pretend' you're interested, and be bored rigid for up to 5 hours (I speak no lie) go ahead. BUt my advise is to be assertive and have an excuse ready or you'll be there for hours. Limit them to 90 mins and say youre meeting someone so you can 'escape' .

Go, and and enjoy the break.

Only the £110 exchange fee?.........what about the annual maitenance fee of £900 per week owned and the RCI annual fee of £90.......ooops...forgot the original cost of £12500...then add on the flights and transfers
Now on to the £98 apartment........all the above applies,now makes it £1400.......what with the loss of interest or loan charges on the original purchase price.......still, lets not split hairs,lets say my bargain free holidays only cost around £1500 per week............

AVOID TIMESHARE LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!! I know -I've owned for 10 years.

On every break we've been on - somebody there has booked same resort at least 50% cheaper than me AND got better rooms and views.

Bad idea. Dont do it!! U
se internet and books same resort cheaper.

Timeshare IS a CON.

how can diamond resorts be a scam if it was the company would automatically be shut down!!!

people do get what they buy so its not like they buy it and recieve nothing so that means its not a scam.

Some not all have not managed to work how to use the points to their advantage but quite a lot of people find it works reallly well for them.

holidays in luxurious hotels or appartments dont come cheap.

p.s give a good excuse as to why you think it is too.
