Has anybody paid the $199 guest fee and then canceled the reservation? Is it refundable? Once you've paid the guest fee, if you need to change the name to a different guest, is there an additional $199 fee?

If it is like the guest certificates for Wyndham, RCI, Vistana, or HGVC (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), you could change it back (remove the guest cert) to the owner for no fee but to put any other guest on the cert would cost another fee.

In the Wyndham thread, the feedback was that the guest credit is not refundable if you cancel - are you saying it is refundable?

In the HICV world, in my experience, once a reservation is a guest reservation (using the credits rather than paying the $199), you can change the guest name online, even if you are out of guest credits.

No, I am saying that in all of those other systems the fee is non refundable and non changeable (without paying the fee again). You can change it back to the owners name for no fee but any other change requires a new fee. If HICV doesn't do that now, you are lucky because most don't work that way.

I made a reservation for Labor Day, HICV gave me 24 hours to cancel and I got a refund. After that I don’t think I would get a refund. Hope this helps?

Sorry, I misread the changing back to owner for no fee as meaning refundable - I got it now.
