[Railman83]

Mine went from 513.52 to 516.94, an incredibly low increase. Now if DVC and other timeshares can do as well.

 

[NHTraveler]

Each of our MF's at Sea Gardens, Palm Aire and Edisto dropped a grand total of $67. None went up. We were surprised.

 

[whitewater]

CWA 2.8% increase net for me:
HOA: 2.85% increase
Program Fee: 1.81%
HOA Rate per 1,000 points: $5.76 = (5.64 MFs + .12 Reserve)

Please list the cost/1000 pts so it can be useful to others with different size contracts.

Happy to see your MF have not increased as much as we have been told they would. I am still waiting to see mine as they weren't posted on line yet. Oops. Just checked again and found them. Mine did exceed the amount they had predicted so it looks like Wyndham won out.

[Edited: this offer is not permitted in the discussion forum - see my note below.]

I found the excess in the fees for GSL of $18.00 that was because the trust was removed from CWA last November. I have tried to book January to March on the panhandal of Florida with no success. My friends rent at Destin every February but were told not available this next year as 3 months were only offered. They have told me to sell and get out but I am not willing to give up for zero.
Oops. Read it wrong Daytona Ocean walk went up .05
Branson at the Falls went up .37
GSL went up .11
Total payment monthly went up $5.33. So I am happy now.
The amount that hit me first was GSL was 43.00 last year for the 105,000 points and this year was 60.00. The program fees seem to have made the difference since MF was up only .53/1000. I recall Sapphire valley Program fees were the same for 77,000 or 126,000 so that helped me to decide to get rid of it.
Salesmen had told be the new monthly fee was going to bed $229 up 14.00 but actually it was only $5.33. My fees have gone up 20.00 over the three years which I feel is very good as some of my friends owning only 126,000 have had increases of $30.00 some years. I am still in the dark about what major changes are coming with the change of CWA VS Trust at GSL.

Thank you for this information. I am going to continue using my contracts until I am no longer or someone enjoys them as much as I have. I feel good about using a licensed company as they have kept me from scams.

 

[Sandy VDH]

When was the last time they changed the program fees? It has been a few years. I thought they would have called that out in an announcement, as it is a change in the program rules. Saw no mention of it anywhere.

 

[Sloane S]

The minimums went up $10 per year in both 2013 and 2014, and went from .54/1,000 to .55 in 2015 if I remember correctly.

 

[silentg]

Funny your points account sound so small, I am assuming the amount is per point? Because $3.00 and change sounds better than hundreds of dollars.

That is the PROGRAM fee we are talking about, that is ON TOP of the maintenance fees we pay.

Yes, the convention for comparing Wyndham maintenance fees is $ per 1000 points. Since everyone pretty much owns a different total number of points, it's the easiest way to compare apples to apples.

[Braindead]

CWA reserve fund is very low at $.12
How can it be so low when probably all resorts it has ownerships at have higher reserve fund amounts for the other owners?

 

[ausman]

I would have thought no reserve was necessary since the individual resorts that make up the Access amalgam have their own reserves. Seems like double counting. Was the rate broken out with a reserve component in prior years.?

 

[Braindead]

I thought that also. It should be 0 or average of the deeds CWA owns if it’s directly passed through

 

[Avislo]

The maintence fees and associated fees of the resort are in the CWA fee(s) to the Owners. A reserve fund can be used for a lot of things depending how it is set up. A good possible example would be special assessments if they get hit with many many many of them due weather etc. Or unexpected costs that are incurred such as lawsuit losses that are not insured etc.
