Went to pay my MF fee on their crappy website and I noticed that now they are charging $40 flat rate fee to pay maintenance fee no matter what the payment about is... is this new? Is this allowed?
I prepaid my maintenance 10/07/24 without any surcharge and only had $95.29 left to pay and i'm still required to pay $40 fee on my $95.29 payment. Which seems slightly excessive...
I was told that this was communicated as part of the statement that was mailed out but i have not received this yet but i was able to find this on their portal. Here is what it states
So, how does this help reduce the MF obligation for me? It looks like Hyatt Beach House went from $37.01 (2024) to $18.30 (2025), reduction of $18.71 but I get to pay $40 for the pleasure of reducing my fee by $18.71.... also not for people outside the US as it is illegal for them to do so...
I'm probably overreacting but this seems blatant money grab by Hyatt when they have heavily advertised the benefit of how you get 4x by paying with Hyatt CC. I probably should just suck it up and pay via ACH...

To help reduce maintenance fees, there is a surcharge when paying by credit card (not applicable to those residing outside the U.S.). A reduction in the credit card fee line is budgeted in the maintenance fee.
