2012 MF's

[MOXJO7282]

You and I must have been checking at the same times; you're right, they weren't there until sometime last evening. Not sure it took an enterprising individual to get them there, though - it seems like the folks at my-vacationclub.com are just uploading them as they're coming in from the resorts. Still no invoices for Barony and SW yet but those should be up soon.

Now about the pleas that we don't use credit cards to pay our MF bills - this is one campaign I just can't support. My combined MF and Club Dues payments net over 30K Marriott Rewards Points and 1 Elite Night, and I'm not willing to give that up. I'd be happy to make cash payments if the resorts could work with Marriott to come up with some creative alternative that would still give us the same Marriott Rewards credit/status, but as long as our choice is either one or the other, I'm staying with the Marriott VISA benefits.

Same here. We get 80k + points per year paying our MFs using the Marriott Visa so that is a huge perk for us.

$16K in purchases, $1K value, 6.25% return, not bad. Just a lot of money in general though.

I wonder what Chase thinks about all this, "Credit card fees are too high, please don't use your Chase Marriott credit card".. That will build some nice B2B love..Next Chase will say, "Marriott hotels are not within the corporate travel policy due to high price and should not be used"

Without playing up the credit card cost so much why not more silently offer a compelling MRP incentive for paying cash. Seems there has to be an economically grounded formula for making this work. Certainly 0 MRP for cash, and 5X MRP for Credit card isn't the right formula. 5X vs 5X? 4x vs 5X?

That was built into the operating fee. Incidently property taxes only went up less than $1 to $106.96 I think.

If anyone's waiting, the invoices for both Barony Beach and SurfWatch should now be available using the "View Maintenance Fee Package(s)" link in your my-vacationclub.com accounts. Barony's due date is 1/11/12; SW's is 1/20/12. (The invoiced amounts match what was reported in this post.)

Grande Vista hasn't billed yet either. What I find strange is that Grande Vista always bills after our Harbour Lake, but Grande Vista is also always due before Harbour Lake.

Wow, 80k points for paying MFs! Either you own loads of units or I am doing something wrong. Our MFs are approx. $3,500.00 in total and collect 10k in rewards points. Would love to find a way to maximize getting points..

BeachPlace 2011 Fees

Operating Fee $716.82
Reserve Fee $288.00
Tax Fee-Platinum $46.25
Tax Fee-Gold $33.09
Total Platinum $1,051.07--5.4% Increase
Total Gold $1,037.91--6.2% Increase
The fee increase is after application of a fund surplus of previous year maintenance fees in the tax account and the operating account.

Given the number of units that Joe has listed, 80K in pionts sounds reasonable. At 5 points per dollar, that works out to $16,000 in MFs put on the Marriott credit card.

Do you have the Marriott Visa black card and are all of your MFs for MVC properties? If they are all MVC properties then you should make sure to get the Marriott black Visa card so you can get 5 points per dollar spent at Marriott. That would net you 17,500 points annually.

$16,193.87 to be exact. Multiplied by 5 = 80,969 rewards points this year.

I have the regular Marriott Visa card, did not even know about a 'black' visa card. Will look into it to see if it is available in Canada. I get 3 points per dollar spent at Marriott. Yes, all of our MFs are for MVCI. thanks.

Canada only has the one card, there are three cards in the USA, the Signature (silver), Premier (black) and Business.

I think last year's total fee was somewhere around $1,450.

Compared to what Marriott owners in the US get, it's a crappy card for Canadians...there are much better cards out there but not for Marriott Reward Points. When I see what benefits US members get with their top layer card it makes me envious...an incredible difference.
