It just hit me about the raise in DUES

[paults]

WOW, my 150 pt contract went up $15.27 a month

my 2nd 100 pt contract went up $10.13 a month for a total of $25.40 a month.

My 3rd contract we paid off right away.

I don't understand.

You are doing something wrong. There is no way. NONE of the resorts went up by a $1 or more. $15 a month increase on 150 pts is a $1 increase in dues, and that didn't happen. Check your paperwork and do the math again. The biggest increase I can see is VB and that is only $0.43. If you owned 150 points there that's only a $64.50 increase yearly and $5.38 a month. Are you sure you didn't have a tax adjustment?

What do you mean the 3rd contract you paid off right away? Do you mean you paid the dues up front for the year?

I pay my dues by direct debit and the January payment is more than the other months.

If you are looking at January's payment, then check your statement as it should show that the rest of the months will be less.

this does not make any sense at all, dues did not go up that much, and as stated January payment is always a little more as its the catch up month for underpaid maintenance for the year when adjusted to actual. And you would still pay dues on your paid off contract, so not really sure what it is your saying?

 

[Canadian Disney Mom]

Perhaps the OP was confusing financed payments with dues payments?

 

[tfc3rid]

That is very strange, as my monthly payments went up $10 a month across 3 contracts and 550 points... Must be referring to the January payment.

Our dues went up about $14 a month and that is not just the adjustment month. The adjustment month was over $100.

I wasn't very happy about it we have 250 points at BLT.

This shows the percent increase for each resort

My 250 BWV points went from $113.13 to $117.00, less than $4 a month. January had an extra charge of $21.55 for the tax shortage.

OOPS! I was looking at the Jan. payment that is much higher than the rest of the year. Everything is OK ( well other than paying dues )

I paid the dues for the year on my third contract.

Thanks everyone for helping to get my head out of the clouds ( I know what you thought I was gone to say)

Dues at BLT went from $3.89 in 2011 to $4.22 in 2012, an increase of 33 cents per point per year. You have 250 points so your annual increase is: 250 * .33 = $82.50. Dividing that by 12 and rounding up you get a monthly increase of $6.88.

It's because, at least on my statements from this and last years, we (Bay Lake owners...we have 160 points) had a CREDIT from an OVERestimate of previous taxes. So our dues LAST year were falsely low. This year they UNDERestimated it, so our dues FEEL like they are way way higher. If our dues had been normal, without the credit last year, it wouldn't feel like this.

Last year my dues were 44ish per month. January the charge was in the 70s, and now they are at 56ish for the rest of the year. Not pretty, but it's just b/c of that dang credit last year that made us FEEL like we're getting a raw deal this year.
