I would suggest leaving the $5 in there.

That money is helpful fighting battles with The Man.

I agree -- I'll make sure to fund ARDA in one or two of my (many) timeshares.

They fought the good fight for Maui property taxes, and made a big difference for me.

Best,

This cash doesn't fund ARDA directly. It's ARDA-ROC.

The Resort Owner's Coalition is specifically charged with fighting issues relating to current owners.

I'm sure you knew that but I wanted others to know it isn't just some developer lining his pockets.

This jumped out at me too. I became an owner in 2011, and this is the first time I've seen that sharp of an increase. I'm afraid that it's going to go up by $20 next year. Can anyone shed some light on this... we don't even get a book anymore...

2011 - $114
2012 - $119 (up $5)
2013 - $125 (up $6)
2014 - $136 (up $11)

Looking at the Vegas fees for more points, I'm beginning to think I need to sell mine and buy more points on the resale market for lower MFs...

ARDA fee

My bill includes the voluntary ARDA fee, but there is no way online to not pay that. In the past it was easy to check or uncheck a box, but the box isn't there now. Anybody else's account set up like this?

Yes, mine is and I sent an email to HGVC to give people the option for ARDA.
 
problem with ARDA fee reply

Got this from HGVC today:

"Thank you for contacting the Hilton Grand Vacations Club. We are currently aware of the error on the website that doesn't allow for members to opt out of paying the $5.00 voluntary ARDA fee. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and are diligently working to rectify this error. In the meantime, if you would like to make a payment without the Voluntary ARDA fee, please contact us by phone at 1-888-875-4479, and a representative will be more than happy to assist you."

And we're paying for this substandard website!
