We just got our Westin flex bill for 2025. It went up $1200. We are now talking about either selling or a deed back. In the past 3 years, we've been able to rent some weeks to pay for some of the MF's. This price increase is absolutely ridiculous!

What do you own? Posting the total increase without context doesn't help us in determining the % increase this year.

Club Dues are going up too. I believe I read that Chairman's Club would be $305 for this year (I think it was $290 last year?) So a 5% increase there too.

Did not see the official 2025 MF thread.

The Sheraton Flex bill has been posted on Vistana.com, and there is no change compared with the 2024 MF (surprise! :))

Rate is $0.0219 / point
This is why the resale value is $0. Those maintenance fees per point are way too high.

Wow that’s expensive. My SVR is like $1100 for 81,000 which I converted to 2600 abound points.
This is where deeded weeks are superior to any kind of trust product. There are certainly bad deeded weeks out there with very high MF per point, but prime season usually come out ahead of any of the Flex products.

Hey I got stuck with a Harborside 1 bedroom EOY for $1800 MF for 67,1000 staroptions. I think abound points is like 2250 . I console myself by actually using it.

Completely true. I owned a 2bd L/O for summer (gold) at Sheraton Mountain Vista. Since the MFs were based on unit ownership and not Options, the price for those summer weeks were quite high comparatively. For us, the numbers worked better flipping it to Flex.
