Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Gary S.):

Trust maintenance have increased more than what you were told. I've only owned trust points for three years, but the maintenance fees have increased at least 10% during that period. I expect the annual fees to rise 3-5%, although with inflation currently low, I hope the increase isn't that high. As far as Matthew, it is probably more true than false about the extent of coverage. Marriott would have excellent coverage (owners can get specifics), although there is a relatively large deductible. Maintenance fees may be somewhat affected over time, as insurance claims do affect the renewal pricing (as we all know from our own personal insurance). Cheers.

I just attended a Marriott Vacation Club "90" minute presentation.

The sales people told me that in the last six years the "Trust" members maintenance fees went up a total of 5%.

I see on a comparison chart Trust maintence fees for example Marriott Crystal Shore Marco Island went up as much as 80% and Marriott Barony Beach around 35%.

The Marriott corporate would not reply to my question so I ask the owners?

If the Trust maintenance fees do not go up that's a good deal. Now about the spreading of hurricane Matthew damages in 2018 or as I was told Marriott is 100% insured?
