don't shoot the messenger but I was reading the September 2019 AM presentation for SVV and I noticed the VSN fees are going up from 145 to 155 a year (just the first week)

No increase in the second week VSN fee. So for multi week owners, it is really only a $5 increase. Single week owners will see a ten buck increase.

Interesting math. It's a $10 increase whether one owns one week or five weeks.

OMG! Now I’m going to have to sell one of my Platinum Kierlands to cover the increase

I’m hoping I can get at least $10 for it

lol I agree this is not a big increase. But of course the increases add up: VSN, Interval, MF etc. By the way, I am very curious to see the first post Marriott MF increase for the Vistana resorts

Agreed - Most of us hopefully can cover the $10 VSN Fee increase without any issues. The MF increases on the other-hand have to be kept in control.

The first week fee was only $140 back in 2017.

This increase in the SVN fee brings it closer in line with the MVC DC membership fee, so I am not surprised. For 5* and likely 4* elites it is still less expensive than MVC club fees at Presidential and Chairman levels.

Best regards.

The difference is that II exchanges for Marriott to Marriott are free for MVC club.

Now that Marriott is at the other side of the table, it may rethink the conditions
Before the ILG acquisition, MVC had to compensate II for Marriott-Marriott free trades. Now that they own ILG, it does not get more expensive, and possibly even cheaper due to improved efficiencies.

"improved efficiencies" only flow one way, towards MVW. Let's wait for the MF to see the "improved efficiencies". If they think they can get away with charging the owners anything, they will.
