Have you gone back and calculated how much your maintenance fees have gone up each year since SVC was acquired by Wyndham? The only Wyndham resort I have ever stayed at was Mauna Loa Village on the Big Island, which Wyndham shares with SVC. The Wyndham maintenance fees for that resort have always exceeded what the yearly cost of SVC points would be to stay at that resort and the Wyndham portion of the resort used to have a lower trading status than the SVC portion of the resort. I sold our SVC - Hawaii points membership (using TUG) when they were purchased by Wyndham, but now that my twins have graduated from college, am considering purchasing another membership. Below is the information furnished to me by SVC as to the current cost per point for SVC -- Hawaii. Concerned that for the points level I am considering (6,750 points) that the maintenance fees increased by over 7% between 2016 and 2017. However, if this information is correct, it would indicate that your maintenance fees were lower in 2017 than when you made this post. Can anyone verify for me that this information is correct.
