HGVC: Flamingo & Anderson Ocean Club
Vacation Village: Woodstone at Massanutten and Grandview (RCI Points) & the Colonies
I am new to timesharing (newbie HGVC owner). I live on the East Coast and have been looking to snag a weekend in NYC at HGVC W 57th or possibly the Residences bHC. Since I have been watching things, it seems hard to do through HGVC if you don't own at those properties AND can't be done more than 45 days out unless you own there.
With NYC so hard to book, I have been pleasantly surprised in the last few days to see major Manhattan Club inventory suddenly appear on RCI (through my HGVC portal).
At this time MC has studios and 1 BR's broadly available from early January through late August. Is this common to happen all at once every year or does it have to do with Bluegreen having recently bought the property? Seems from the press coverage availability of rooms had previously been a big problem there.
I am giving it a try next Memorial Day Weekend. The user reviews are good. The points are a good trade for me, but offset by the property having a $54.41 DAILY resort use fee.

At time of posting MC is showing 457 check-in nights available on the RCI portal. This is compared to 2 for the Hilton Club of New York and 1 for W 57th bHC.
