I am caught in a trap with Diamond Resorts.
I pay maintenance fees of almost $9000 every year for a platinum membership.
I have never used all of my 50,000 points and in fact have 67,000 points expiring in 2 days.
I am busy and have had a terrible year and never remembered to roll over my points at the appropriate time.
The solution proposed by the sales people at Diamond is for me to join the Redemption program at a cost of $20,000+ in order to have the privilege of using points to pay off my maintenance fees in the future.I refused and they have backed off rolling my points to 2020.
Does anybody have suggestions as to how I can reduce the exorbitant maintenance fees as I do not really need all these points?
And how I can roll my points over without bankrupting myself?
Thanks.
