Hi all...
Does anybody know the the current annual dues per point and the end use date for each resort?
I am contemplating buying an add-on but need to do more research before I do
Anybody know if the Time Share Store will also be selling GCV? LOL Too many options?
Oh one more thought.. has anybody bought into Vero Beach of Hilton Head just to get points because they are cheaper with the intention to use them at WDW at the 7 mos mark?
Currently VB, HH, BWV, VWL and BCV all expire January 31, 2042. There are some OKW resale contracts that will also expire on that date.
SSR contracts currently expire on January 31, 2054.
AKV contracts currently expire on January 31, 2057.
BLT and GCV contracts currently expire on January 31, 2060.
In 2006 HH discovered that some expected maintenance issues needed to be accelerated. The Capital Reserve fund was inandequate to cover these costs so a loan was made (by DVD) to cover the expenses and a repayment schedule was built into the annual fees - thus the large increase between 2006/2007. Since the increase was still within allowed limits no vote of the owners or special assessment was necessary - but fees at HH should reflect a similar lowering once the load is compkletely paid back to DVD. (Stay tuned.)
