The $300 annual club dues seem high, from the 2024 disclosure:

My club dues were originally $281, but they rose to $299 this year..
I am working with a potential buyer now though. So, hopefully this is the last year I pay dues & MFs.

even the activation fee hobbles these ultra-low deeds. After I rejected HGVC's offer on a Plat 1 bdrm, they tried a low Pts EOY on me. I looked at it and wondered
"That is even worse / less efficient. Where did they get the idea I NEED a lower-priced one? I said I need a more EFFICIENT one. I'm outta here."

and then these end up like detritus til HGVC eventually gets them back, ready to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN
