Club Wyndham Access Points - VIP Founders 1.6 million (About to Inherit )

[Fido Chuckwagon]

I think if i'm doing the MF + program fee right, they would be about 14k per year.

Access MF this year is $8.13/1000
Program Fee this year is $0.70/1000

MF alone = $13,008
Program Fee = $1,120

Total MF + PF = $14,128.00

.75 for the program fee since it would be plus partners eligible, but otherwise, yes, that’s what I got as well.

You are confusing "15k a year" (maintenance fees dollars) with "500k" (points).

Just make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into here. Wyndham timeshare resorts are great, but 1.6 million points is a lot. Maintenance fees this year are $14,200 on that amount, and expect them to go up by around 5 percent each year. 1.6 million points is a LOT of vacations each year, especially with the VIP discounts. (Or vacations in really big rooms / presidential units.)

Ok, makes more sense now I must have missed some of this when reading the post. Also makes more sense now on the 500k points. Just trying to educate myself more for future reference. Thanks.

I was guessing on the total fees for maintenance and program fees and rounded up which to my mind prepares you for the worst outcome. The number I basically came up with was just north of 14500. I honestly should have looked at the newest breakdown of the 2025 fees.

It's +/- that.

I think I calculated the program fee wrong because someone else pointed out that the program fee is .75/1000 and I calculated it at .70/1000. Not much of a difference in the grand scheme of things honestly.

Basically, at least for Club Wyndham Access, you calculate your total annual fees as:
Maintenance Fees: which in your case is $8.13/1000
Program Fee: which is $0.75/1000 for retail points or $0.70 for resale points (does not apply to you)
So the basic math for you is:
=(((1600000/1000)*8.16)+((1600000/1000)*0.75)) for the total cost

or
=((((1600000/1000)*8.16)+((1600000/1000)*0.75))/12) for the monthly cost

If your total number of points you end up with changes, just change the 1600000 to whatever number that turns out to be.

For deeded properties (doesn't apply to you) there are sometimes additional taxes which may slightly influence the total cost. Access doesn't have that.
