Does HGVC sell and have any Right to Use RTU weeks or points in the resorts ?

I believe one of the New York properties is RTU.

Yes the original Hilton club is RTU. I suppose one could still find those resale.

I dont think you are able to find any Hilton Club in NYC which has RTU and sold directly through HGVC. I think all of them have been converted to deeded properties, you need to look at the resale marked for the RTU ones.

Why are you interested in RTU weeks?

I'm not the OP but personally, I would love short term RTU weeks.

Pick something up resale and have it just go away a few years down the road.

There are also several types of RTU's . In addition to the fairly short term 10-20 years, there are RTU's with 50 and 100 year terms. I owned a European timeshare that was RTU in perpetuity- basically works the same as deeded except the transfer is whatever the resort charges and you don't have to file it as a real estate transfer.

HGVC club like some others, has been steadily increasing mandatory transfer/activation fees. Buying a platinum week at a resort with reasonable MF's and then selling or giving away if need be would probably be easier than giving away something with only a few years left but a high transfer fee. If the value were such that the owner had to pay that (and possibly more) in order to find someone to transfer it too than he might just hold onto it and rent it out for the remaining years which would cut down on the ability to find resales

The original Hilton Club New York (mid floors at the Midtown Hilton) was RTU. If people bought the RTU and kept it its still good. However, Hilton has converted it to conventional TS. I think they have ROFR for the RTU so Hilton is buying them up if they go on sale.

Supposedly the TRU MF had gotten quite high.

Thanks for all the information. This board is one of the best things going for TS ownership. I was looking at some of the HGVC Europe properties . A sales rep had told me they were RTU to discourage. I know the mouth was moving.

HGVC Craigendarroch Lodges are perpetual RTU. Very easy transfer process. Also they are fixed weeks which means the annual reservation is made for you, but you can cancel it easily and up to two years ahead if you want to use the points instead.

What is the major difference between deeded and perpetual RTU ?
Thanks
