Thanks for posting this in an easy to read, all in one place post.

Since we don’t use our Hilton ownership nearly as often as our others, I usually have a little difficulty navigating their website to find the information I need when I need it

 

[SmithOp]

The fees that jump out at me are HHonors reservations $134 by phone only, no way to do instant conversion online. $154 to convert and deposit to HHonors account. Another reason this is a dubious benefit, by the time you pay all the fees (maintenance, conversion, booking) it would be cheaper to just book with cash on Travelocity.

Whip this chart out in a sales presentation to shut it down...

With timeshare, there really isn’t a cost effective or efficient use of the product other than to stay at a timeshare.

Occasionally life presents us with a situation that makes it difficult or impossible to get the best value from our ownership. We have converted to hotel points and used them for a cruise, but we try to keep that to a minimum.

So far we’ve managed to manipulate our ownerships for use in timeshares by saving points and looking at the most expensive locations that in ordinary circumstances we might not consider. Unfortunately, it seems as if everyone else has had the same idea and those expensive, high value weeks have been even more difficult to reserve. By 2024 we may be back to spending/wasting points on an expensive cruise stateroom, just to keep from losing value completely. First world problems I know, but still a problem when you own timeshare and travel options were somewhat limited for 2 years.

I’m pretty certain we’ll be looking to save our 2024 HGVC points to 2025 and then looking for a big blowout trip. We’ve been able to use our HGVC points so far, but we’ve also booked an expensive 3 bedroom end-cap unit at Elara in March. Something we would never do under ordinary times. We’re relatively backed up with our Marriott ownership, but we’ve been able to save points for 2 years rather than just 1, so I have some time if I can find enough places to spend those points.

 

[letsgobobby]

what about all inclusive fee for bHC?

Yeah, I noticed that was missing from the tables too and just inserted it.

Open Season rental reservations are available to Members for their personal use only. Check-in dates may be restricted. Open Season reservations at different properties for the same or overlapping dates are not permitted. Open Season rental rates are per night and must be paid in full at time of confirmation. From time to time, Open Season windows may be expanded to maximize occupancy, promote select resorts or similar purposes.

 

[PigsDad]

Great post! Can we make this a sticky post so it is easily accessible? At least for this year, and then hopefully replaces w/ a 2024 fees post, similar to the maintenance fees sticky post. Can an admin (@GT75) do this?

Kurt

 

[GT75]

Can an admin (@GT75) do this?

Done, good idea.

 

[Talent312]

I find this list of fees impressive, not for the increases (which is what it is), but rather the length of the list itself.

I noticed, however,, that they haven't included a luggage cart fee (yet).
.

 

[GT75]

Besides the ever increasing yearly fees, has anyone found any HGVC/HC rule changes? Or anything else that jumps out affecting us owners?

 

[WIHuck]

How about adding the differences between tier levels, both regular and MAX? This is what I found for MAX fees.

 

[alwysonvac]

I’ve added some tables to the sticky as well.

Our 2023 HGVC documents don’t state the HGVC Max Reservation Window at HGVC Club Resorts.
It just indicates the 6 month window for Diamond properties. Are we competing with Diamond members at 6 month mark as well or a different interval?

 

[WIHuck]

The way I understand it is Hilton Grand Vacations members who join Max and become part of the "Club" can book Diamond locations starting at the 6 month window. Diamond members who join Max and become part of the "Club" can book Hilton Grand Vacations locations starting at the 6 month window. So, yes, at the six month window availability will be harder to find.

[alwysonvac]

There used to be a line item indicating that borrowing is free. Hopefully that didn’t change.
Unless I missed it in the online or pdf documentation, I only see borrowing listed with “No fee” under Max benefit in the 2023 Club Rules. Maybe it was missed

 

[alwysonvac]

Found an interesting statement under TRANSACTION FEES

“Amounts may be increased or decreased up to $9.00 throughout the year”

THE HGVC tiers are different than the MAX tiers.
Post #1 includes the transaction fee differences for the HGVC Elite tiers.

Hopefully a MAX owner will volunteer to copy the online 2023 MAX Fee Schedule similar to what I’ve done in post #1 along with attaching any 2023 MAX Club Rules and MAX Club charts

 

[alwysonvac]

@ccwu , @mrharris03 , @KathyA or anyone else?

Can someone attach or post a link to the 2023 Club Member Guide for the Hilton Club of New York?

I am a MAX owner and these are what I can see.

 

[alwysonvac]

Thanks @WIHuck
Did you upgrade or is this your initial membership?
Your attachments look like the same ones I attached in Post #1 . They didn’t provide a doc that included point charts for all MAX resorts?

From the 2023 HGVC Club Rules
Persons may become HGV Max members as described below:

i. Initial Membership - Persons who purchase an ownership interest at a Hilton Grand Vacations resort from an HGV Max authorized sales center and join Hilton Grand Vacations Club after launch of HGV Max shall automatically receive HGV Max benefits.​

ii. Additional Purchase – Persons who were Hilton Grand Vacations Club Members prior to the launch of HGV Max and upgrade their Hilton Grand Vacations ownership interest or otherwise purchase an additional Hilton Grand Vacations ownership interest after the launch shall automatically receive HGV Max benefits.​

iii. Ala Carte Membership – Other Members may have the option to acquire HGV Max benefits by paying a one-time HGV Max initiation fee.​

 

[alwysonvac]

Here’s what I see on the HGVC website….

Under Club Membership > HGV Max > HGV Max Properties

MORE PROPERTIES IN MORE DESTINATIONS​

This page provides a list of the Hilton Vacation Club and Diamond properties available for booking to Members with HGV Max benefits. Reservations at these properties will fall under the new HGV Max Reservation Window, which allows booking starting six months before check-out (exceptions apply).

Please note: Inventory availability will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. Many of these properties have not yet been rebranded as part of the Hilton Vacation Club property collection. As a result, they continue to offer services and on-site features that do not follow the Hilton Grand Vacations brand standards. The rebranding of Diamond properties is a phased, multi-year effort that is scheduled to end in 2026. Resorts that have been rebranded carry a "Hilton Vacation Club" name.
