Hilton vs Marriott - Marriott board generally prefers Marriott!

If you buy an affilliate resort and pay the fee to get into the HGVC, do you have to pay that fee every year? It is around $400 correct? Or is that one time fee? Also I assume they have contracts with these resorts. Does anyone know when they come up for renewal? I have thought about buying an affiliate resort because you can find them cheaper sometimes, but was afraid that once I buy to get into HGVC, they will drop that resort and I will be stuck!

Yes, it's a one-time fee to join. But then after that you pay the same annual fee that any other HGVC member pays. I believe it's currently $80/year. That includes access to RCI (although not direct access). And the annual fee is $80 no matter how many weeks you own.

It's $90 for 2008.
