2016 fee Schedule out yet? - Thread to track increases

Seriously reconsider this purchase. If you are so up in arms about the enrollment fee you will not like it when hgvc increases their fees every year. They do this with the club fees, reservation fees, etc. Since you have done your research on hgvc you will see that the increases are like clockwork.
That is the problem with the big hotel chain timeshares, they bring increases to fees every year. I am pretty sure that all owners donot care for those increases, but when we buy in we accept that as a part of our use in the system. Better to by at an independent timeshare if you feel so strong against hgvc right now.
Not trying to be negative to you but just trying to prepare you for the coming rate hikes annually that will come. With that being said I do own hgvc and am happy with my stays at various hgvc resorts. Even with the annual increases by hgvc i believe that the system is worth the price. Maybe there will be a time when i donot feel this way and then it is time to sell or give it away.

I respct your opinion. I also understand where you guys are coming from with increases in other fees which will probably piss me off longer term and not having a say in them. The problem which you alluded to is when you are in the system, you are stuck with the fees, love them or hate them. IF you book through the hotel system, you do have the added option of choice. I am going through with this, but it doesn't make me feel as happy as the day I signe dmy contract.

Welcome to HGVC, I enjoy my ownership and hope you do as well.

I agree with the others, that you can feel like there is a fee for everything.. but overall i think HGVC is competitive with the other major programs..

Its seems like the MF are lower than Marriott or Starwood, at least when comparing the Hawaii resorts to each other.. but HGVC has lots of fees for other things...

My other timeshares are not hotel brands and therefore cost quite a bit less to use than HGVC. However, it turns out that I use HGVC much more than others and looking forward, see myself continuing to use it more than anything else. So, my way of dealing with all the price increases is to get rid of everything that I don't use as often.

Eventually, I might get totally priced out of Hilton, but I will continue to use it and enjoy it for as long as I can. And, I will be forever hopeful that we will get more benefits (haha) in the future or at least let us book RCI exchanges at a point discount like every other timeshare gets to do for <45 day reservations.

I will be happy if they let us book into the bulk deposits at 12 or 13 months that everyone else that is not using hgvc portal can book. I cannot see what reason we as owners in the hgvc cannot book resorts available to everyone else in rci can book. Only reason i can fanthom for this is $$$.
