As the new year approaches, everyone’s favorite holiday tradition comes to pass – paying their timeshare maintenance fee bill! All kidding aside, this year Marriott Vacation Club Abound members have a special gift, a modest increase in maintenance fees that’s very close to the annual inflation rate.
This article breaks down the changes in annual fees for Marriott points owners, provides clarity on what to expect in 2025, and shows you the historical maintenance costs over the last three years. Let’s take a closer look!
Annual Maintenance Costs for Abound Members
The maintenance costs associated with Marriott Vacation Club points are derived from the combination of all deeded weeks that are held within the Marriott Vacation Club land trust. Unlike the fluctuating costs tied to different home resorts and villa sizes, there is a uniform rate per point each year.
For 2025, the maintenance fee has seen an approximate increase of 3.5%. This is not far from the forecasted average inflation rate, as measured by the consumer price index, of 3.1% for the 2024 calendar year.
| 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per Annual Point | $0.68392 / Point | $0.78748 / Point | $0.81480 / Point |
| Per Beneficial Interest (BI) | $170.98 / BI | $196.87 / BI | $203.70 / BI |
Alternative Budget
The MVC Trust Owners Association has approved the Alternative Budget for 2025, which prevented a large increase in reserve funding. This decision led to a modest increase in maintenance fees for 2025.
Annual Club Dues for Abound Members
Small adjustments have also been made to the Marriott Vacation Club Annual Club Fee in 2025. These all-inclusive club dues encompass a variety of services, including access to Interval International exchange, housekeeping, banking and borrowing, conversion of Abound Club Points to Bonvoy Points, and more.
| Membership Level | 2023 Club Dues | 2024 Club Dues | 2025 Club Dues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owners and Select Members | $230 | $240 | $250 |
| Executive and Presidential Members | $270 | $280 | $290 |
| Chairmans’ Club Members | $295 | $295 | $305 |
For other timeshare ownerships, owners may need to pay booking fees, housekeeping fees, or even pay to bank their unused points. For Marriott points owners, the comprehensive annual dues ensure that members experience seamless and predictable costs throughout the year, regardless of which features the owners elects to take advantage of.
