Vacation Club Dues

The answer is buried somewhere in the MVC site... But in a nutshell, what are the benefits to our $250 Club Dues when we only exchange for the same resort every year? Thanks.

Well, if you are referring to exchanging via II, then your II membership is included; and you receive the perks associated with having the corporate membership in II.

Depends on how you exchange I guess, but if you never bank or borrow points, never split your ownership up into multiple short stays where you might have incurred extra housekeeping fees (not sure if that was a thing for MVC, it was for Vistana), and never trade your ownership for Bonvoy points, then the main thing you’re getting for your money is the Interval membership and the fee-free trades into other MVC properties which it includes.

You can't exchange, only reserve, without an exchange company. You can choose II or MVC (Club). If you choose club you get an II membership, can directly exchange with points if you can elect your week for points, lock off for free, and make any Marriott to Marriott II exchange for free. You will still pay for II non MVC and upgrade fees if applicable. This is usually a lot cheaper for people with multiple lockoff weeks who want to exchange to other Marriotts.

When you say "exchange" do you mean you are exchanging through II? If so, you are getting a decent benefit with those Club Dues. That fee provides you with a no cost II account. Meaning you are not paying the annual fee of $99 nor are you paying for the Marriott to Marriott exchange fee which I think is $164. So you are coming out a few dollars ahead if you were not enrolled in Abound.

Now if you mean you are booking your home resort week year after year, then the $250 isn't really benefiting you. If you don't pay it then your week would be unenrolled and you wouldn't have Abound and the $250 fee would go away. Keep in mind that times change and how you use your week now may not be the same how you use it 10 years from now.
