I contacted Diamond Resorts International by their website feedback process and informed them that at my age (75) I was releasing my points and wanted to pursue other vacation options. A week later a lady from their loss mitigation department called me and said since I had paid up points and had paid up maintenance fees, they would accept my release of points if I still desired to do so. I said yes and she said that the release documents could either be mailed to me or emailed to me. I would then have to sign the documents in front of a Notary and return them to DRI. The process would take up to 60 days, and I would have to pay the $250 release fee, to which I agreed. Over the past 30 years I have had very good experiences with DRI, particularly enjoying two week vacations in St. Maarten. I am a retired military person not associated with DRI other than having been a member.
