TUG Fam,
After many months of research on this great forum I (finally!) purchased my first timeshare (Elara, HGVC). I bought it from Sumday Vacations on ebay for what I considered to be a GREAT deal (<$200 + $299 transfer fee). In addition, the following was mentioned in the ebay listing:
"HILTON GRAND VACATIONS CLUB'S CURRENT POLICY REQUIRES THE NEW OWNER TO ACTIVATE THEIR OWNERSHIP. ONCE THE TRANSFER IS COMPLETED THEY WILL ISSUE THE NEW OWNER A BILLING STATEMENT OF $609 AS AN ACTIVATION FEE"
I have not received an invoice/billing statement from HGVC and have already used the timeshare once (open season, saved $600+ over a "comparable" hotel in Vegas last week!). I am wondering if they forgot to charge me...? Does anyone have experience with HGVC charging for an "activation" fee weeks or months after first use of a resale timeshare?
