I just paid my 2023 Aventuras maintenance fees, received confirmation but Vistana is still reflecting due. Now I have to prove that I paid. Luckily I saved the confirmation. SMH

It always takes a day or two before the website shows that you have paid. I think there is a manual step behind the scenes which needs to happen before payments are reflected online, or maybe it doesn't update your account until the payment has been completely processed.

I paid my Westin Flex on Wednesday night when the billing came out, yesterday my account still showed a balance due, but today it shows a zero balance.

That is early. I don't expect SBP fees to post until November.

The individual resorts typically don't post until November with an early January due date. The Flex products tend to post in August with a mid-September due date.

THe same is true on the Marriott side. I don't know what they are using to calculate the MFs for Flex points. I am sure Marriott is not loaning the money to the trust to cover prior year fees and then collecting it mid year. I would think they have a pretty good idea what the 2023 fees will be and base the fees off that. Of course, it is possible that they are loaning the trust money and charging a high interest rate to increase profit. They will go to many lengths to increase revenue through tactics like this...

Hey folks,

David Troup emailed me over the weekend to remind me to update the database for 2023. I've gone ahead and made the updates and they're live. If there is anything else you need, don't hesitate to email me.

Thanks!

No problem! I just need a reminder at times.
Between my 12yo daughter who plays ice hockey 6 days a week, two show dogs, and trying to juggle my job on top of all of it... I sometimes forget whether Im coming or going.

I was going to pay my fees for 2024 in advance but realized that once again I will have to pay the ARDA fees because they will take the full amount of my 2024 MF's and apply them to 2023 payments, leaving me $5.00 due in 2024 for "maintenance fees.."

Paying ahead to book my weeks at more than a year out is a frustrating experience because I am forced to pay ARDA fees!

Not an official MF bill, but got the proposed budgets for SVR Cascades and Spas in the mail today -- those has basically been the adopted values every year. Looks like Cascades is going up 12.3% and Spas is going up 8.3% as compared to last year...

Proposed budgets in Florida aren't very useful as they include reserves as if they were fully funded. Though we have never been asked to vote to waive fully funding of reserves for SVV in all our years of ownership.

Not the SVR statement, this is with the fully funding of reserves waived. The increase is in operating costs.

This is hard to go through to find any maintenance fees because there is so much chit chat. Can someone set up a thread like Suejohn did. She has a very specific list of what to include and says no chit chat.

The opening post on the thread has a link to the searchable database where all the fees are stored.

Only when owners post it to the database.

Westin Nanea maintenance fee billings are available.

The per point assessment is $0.0183807 which represents a 7.7% increase over last year's $0.0170673 per point.

Invoice is dated Nov 1, 2022 with a due date of Jan 4, 2023.

I just added my Westin Nanea to the database and noticed it was only the second entry for 2023. Westin Flex is the other.

I see where there have been posts for Westin Aventuras, Sheraton Flex, and a couple of phases at Sheraton Broadway Plantation. It would be great if those individuals who posted those could add them to the database. This thread tends to get unwieldy and the database is a great resource where everything is organized.

Just my thoughts....

I think I added my Westin Flex earlier this year.

I don't think the mailings have gone out for many/any of the deeded weeks yet. At least for the ones I own, those are usually due at the beginning of January and the mailings go out in early to mid November, at least in the past. I haven't received any of mine yet.

Nanea was not sold as deeded weeks, so the Mx fees billing is probably on a different schedule from deeded weeks.

Tried to add the 2023 amounts for WDW but the database link is not working for me. Page doesn't load / isn't found.

But the 2BR lockoff at WDW will be $2157.70.
