After 25 years of enjoying the benefits of timeshare exchange and traveling, our family is no longer traveling much. We would like to give someone else the opportunity to make the kinds of memories we did with our timeshares. We have two units available: Studio & 1BR (PENDING). Take one or both...
My husband and I bought in to Diamond a few years ago specifically because we wanted to keep coming back to Cabo. We fo around 3-4 times per year and always stay at Cabo Azule . We love it there so much however , soon as we became owners , we could barely ever get availability ( even trying to...
When Hilton grand Vacations changed their launch date to October, I certainly wasn't thinking October 5th. I was assuming October 28th or October 31st. But I am happy to be wrong. This video is hot off the presses reviewing the details of the new HGVMax locations.
There was skepticism about...
We have a deeded timeshare in Sedona with Diamond and the salesperson wants us to transfer into a Hilton program since Diamond was bought out. We have no idea what to do. Thank you
Hello everyone, I’m stuck with a DR 10yr contract. Unfortunately fell for the scam in Vegas. Although I know it’s impossible to get out of my contract, I’d like your thoughts…
Also, they have not reported any of our on-time payments to credit bureaus as nothing is reflected on our reports what’s...

Does anyone know if there is any flexibility in cancelling/rescheduling early June vacations due to the continuing uncertainty of the virus? My large family has plans for Destin but they are scattered in different states with varying school situations that we still don’t know about. I’m...
this past summer, apparently Diamond now requires buyer and sellers to sign and notarize transfer affidavits. Check out the screenshot!
Wonder if this is just stonewalling, or Diamond forcing sellers to use their Transitions program.
We signed up with Timeshare Exit Team in March 2018 and never heard from them again. This summer, they sent me an email saying they were referring my file to Ardent Law Group. Ardent does not offer a "money-back guarantee" and the person I spoke with was obviously a CSR and not a paralegal or...
I am looking for a way to give away or get out of a Diamond Resorts points membership that we paid over $30,000.00 for. We are not using it and just want out of it. We tried writing and calling Diamond Resorts and since we upgraded the membership in the past year they will not let us out of it...
I own HGVC and a deeded week in DRI - Sedona Summitt and noticed a change recently. When I logged into my HGVC the listings for Carlsbad Seapointe and Grand Pacific at Palisades are now tagged as "External Exchange Resort." Perhaps not coincidentally, both of those resorts now show up in DRI's...
Saw this on a Facebook page for Diamond Owners. Kinda seems like an oxymoron but I guess you can't look a gift horse in the mouth. The interesting thing to me is that Diamond is pursuing several other exit companies as well. This win should give the a solid foundation in that effort...
Hello all. New member here looking for advice/help.
Long story short - my husband and I got suckered into buying a Diamond Sampler in January 2018 (Hawaii). We converted to ownership while in Cabo, and have overall been unhappy with all of the lies we were fed on our sampler and ownership...
My husband and I fell twice for the sales pitch at Diamond Resorts - Sedona Summit. I blame it on Red Rocks Intoxication, either that or those mysterious Sedona vortices! Anyway, we sobered up each time and rescinded. Ultimately we did purchase, a 2BR 2BA LO resale at a fraction of the price...
Sorry it is going to be a long post!
I purchased a 2 bedroom week at Liki Tiki over 10 years ago and have 7500 points. One of the very reason that I purchased the timeshare was because I was told with my 7500 points, I am able to break my 2 bedroom week into several studio/1bedroom weeks and...
New TUG member here. Wife and I finally decided to let go of our Diamond Resorts International timeshares (points) in Lake Tahoe and Orlando for free, since we have no use for them anymore.
My question is - what are the steps to "sell" them to a prospective buyer, assuming we already have one...
I would like to transfer one of my deeded weeks to a family member. The deed is paid for, free & clear. It’s in Hawaii at (KBC, Diamond Resorts International) Ka’anapali Beach Club. The maintenance fee is also current. How do I go about transferring the deed? Can I do it myself or do I have to...

IT'S TRUE! IT BRINGS ME MUCH HAPPINESS! IT HAS BEEN LONG-AWAITED AND MUCH ANTICIPATED WITH MANY DELAYS!
I am down here at my Home resort that was acquired by Diamond Resorts in 2015. It has been what I would term "an awful relationship." It's a long, long story that would only bore you.

My elderly mother no longer can travel. She owns Diamond points connected with a resort where we have three deeded weeks (don’t worry we bought them on the secondary market thanks to TUG!) We would like to take over her points but convert it to a week! We are “deeded weeks” people and find...
Anyone having trouble with Diamond Resorts on selling a unit? I have buyer. I have sold at least 20 timeshares so I'm familiar with the process. This particular one is in Paris so it has to go through their european unit. I have called (no one speaks English). I have written 4 times. I have...
So as not to hijack this thread

but along the same lines
I noticed awhile back in May that many DRI managed resorts in their big resort areas like Sedona, Williamsburg, Branson, etc. had plenty of...
Hello,
My wife and I are currently Silver Loyalty members of Diamond Resorts, we own 15,000 points in the Hawaii Collection and are THE Club members. Overall we are happy with Diamond and their system. We would like to upgrade to Gold membership. We purchased out original timeshare before it...
see photos.
I am seeing something weird. I read all these angry reviews but I exchanged into the Hyatt 2 times in a row. Developer points. Not resale.
Is II seeing them as different.
Thoughts?
Hello everyone!
I used to be with Monarch Grand Resorts but it went bankrupt and got bought out by Diamond Resorts. I recently used my points to go to Cabo and loved my resort (Cabo Azul). While there, I went to a workshop where I agreed to take another loan to officially transition over to...

For the past 2 years, Diamond Resorts has been promoting the use of points for "all-inclusive travel", meaning that their points can be used to get reimbursed for airline tickets and rental cars booked thru Diamond, as well as for lodging. In looking thru past contracts, I discovered that this...
