Hello all, I made this account due to inability to find anything specific to my situation thus far. Backstory: I signed with HGVC in May 2021. My contract entails 3,520 points every even year of the platinum season at Las Palmeras. I have monthly payments of $189, which I have always paid on...

Hello, first time post and still learning about timeshares! I grew up timesharing with my parents and am finally at that stage with life and family that I'd like to start to develop a portfolio of my own. That said, I'm trying to get a good understanding of what I'm buying, the rules, and the...

I attended a timeshare presentation and it seems like they are replacing the existing three tier eee elite for direct buyers with new rewards (for direct buyers). This is a draft / not yet official guide to the new tiers. i don’t understand all of it but though it would be interesting to get the...

I received a call from TFC (Trade Financial Corporation) claiming that there is a “legal filing” regarding deceptive sales practices against HGVC. They want me to attend an in person meeting to hear details. I’d appreciate any information about this?

Hello all, I just returned from La Pacifica in Los Cabos and I have to tell you I was absolutely enchanted. I was seriously considering buying the timeshare on the spot when I learned that HGVC uses a points system in order to make reservations, but the upfront retail prices scared the crap out...

My first time posting. Looking for information/assistance on creating a post to sell our 1 bedroom Hilton Garden Vacation Club at the Indian River Plantation Beach Resort in Stuart, FL. Not sure how this works so any advise would be appreciate appreciated. Timeree

Hello world! (First to start a thread.) I am considering purchasing one of the HGVC Las Vegas resorts because the annual maintenance cost is usually cheaper (I am primarily looking for points!) and I like to look around CES. I will look for the historical rental price, but I am not sure when...

I'm considering acquiring a HGV timeshare worth 5000 points. Looking at the official booking rates, as well as other terms, it appears a timeshare would make sense for me. However, the points aren't worth anything if I can't utilize them the way I want, and my requirements aren't any high (Las...

Like some of you, I recently stumbled upon this website when looking up information on timeshares after a presentation. I'm currently at a Hilton Grand Vacations hotel in Las Vegas and got suckered into purchasing a timeshare at a presentation yesterday. The purchase is a bit on the low end, but...

Hello, all. I'm a first-time thread contributor- be gentle ;-) There may not be a lot of people who own at DVC but might be thinking about buying into Hilton's timeshare program (Hilton Grand Vacations). In case you might be - or are just interested in how the programs compare - I'm sharing a...

Just wondering what are the limitation of the HGV App vs. HGVwe site. Here are some I can point out: 1. HGV App cannot be used for RCI bookings or last min deals 2. HGV App does not also show Hilton Last mins deals There may be many more. Let’s hear from the experienced HGV owners. Thanks

THIS IS SO AMAZING!!! First, let me just say Thank You for creating this, and to all members for keeping it alive. When we first moved to Rhode Island I couldn’t find anyone who knew a thing about steam heat and found a website called Heating Help that taught me all I needed to know. This seems...

Let’s say you had HGVC ownership for few years. Enjoyed it and created good memories from vacations. Now it is time to end a contract or want to upgrade/ downgrade your points. What choices you have? 1. Sell your ownership in say TUG marketplace. Be ready to get pennies on the dollar. Don’t even...

Are there some good ways to book your vacations as HGVC member. Here are some observations : 1. Mobile app for HGVC offers limited view only. You need to use HGVC website to see much more info. So big diff in mobil App and website. Correct? 2.Mobile App does not allow RCI bookings. HGVC...

Let’s share your HGVC and other TS portfolio(RCI, Wyndham etc). For each holding it will be nice if you can share Points, annual, bienial, MF approx, TS location, Buying price. Just a short summary to tie it all together. Say your best holding and why. Any big regrets and why. Purpose is just...

Does it make sense to have both HGVC and RCI ownership for wider reach to resorts? 1. HGVC properties may be higher level than many RCI properties. But RCI has many resorts. Correct? 2. If the goal is more choices, can that be achieved by just HGVC to RCI selection or have RCI ownership. More...

Looking for opinion from experienced HGVC owners if the following deal makes sense: Annual 5000 pts. MF about $1100, Vegas Unused 5000 pts to transfer Sale price $1000 MF paid for 2021 Is this a good deal? Thanks

New to Timeshare ownership. Do own a HGVC -not resale. So not very smart decision. But do enjoy the resort stays now. Q 1: Is is possible to own jointly TS with another friend or family member? That way we can share buying cost, Yearly mainteance etc. Q2: Are there certain TS more friendly to...

Hi, I am relatively new to the HGVC ownership. My question is what are the best choices for HGVC point conversion if they will expire say end of year and you may not be able to use them: 1. Extend HGVC point by paying fee. 2. Convert to Hilton Honors- don’t expire but don’t give lot of...

I own several HGVC weeks (2 in Park City UT, 1 in Vegas), none of which are "by Hilton Club." I'm considering the resale purchase of a week at The District in DC, which is a bHC property. I'm aware that the bHC properties have an 'all-inclusive' Club Dues option with a $313 (ish) annual fee...

Still a newbie owner here. Just got a call from HGVC RCI agent asking if I want to join the 2-year Rental Option program through RCI/HGVC. Can someone please tell me what the downside is? It's kind of like when we bought our property...everything sounded too good to be true. I only have 24...

Greetings, Like so many others, I wish I found this forum years ago! Thank you for all your informative posts. We are looking to sell our timeshare and would like advice on how/where to sell it and realistically what we should expect to get for it. We own at The New York Club, 7,000 points and...

Hello, I am brand new to HGVC, but I have been doing a lot of homework. We are looking to go to Hawaii in 2022 and taking my wife's family as a 50th wedding anniversary gift to her parents...total of 8 or 9 people most likely. We have 10,000 bonus points to utilize. Trying to figure out...

I already have 7000 annual HGVC platinum points at Las Palmeras. If I found and purchased addition platinum points resale for the same resort, Las Palmeras, will this keep my maintenance fees lower (obviously higher then 7000 annual points) compared to buying resale at another resort? I'm...

Hello All, I am new to Timeshares. I do own HGVC 7000 every other year. Bought at retail so not smart. Now I have used couple of HGVC resorts and enjoyed it. We are in San Francisco Bay area (Northern California). Since my first wrong purchase, I have learnt to buy dirt cheap on resale. I...

Hey all, Like so many on here, we attended the sales presentation for HGVC and bought. It was low pressure and financially it made sense to us. But everyone gets buyer remorse on much smaller purchases so it got me thinking and I started researching, hence landing here! I’m all for rescinding...

Good morning! Spent a lot of time over the last few days going through the incredible information contained here trying to educate myself in the timesharing vernacular. Quite honestly, from what I'm gathering there appears to be a sense of uncertainty around a few items in the industry which...
