Hi everyone -
I searched the forums, but didn't really find what I'm looking for WRT being a current HGVC member and then buying points on Embarc. I don't really get how it works... so sorry for the maybe obviously dumb questions:
If we buy an Embrac deal (resell), will those points be...

My husband and I were Diamond Resorts owners. We bought in during 2020 (don't ask me what we were thinking) at $70k for the Hawaii Collection and got 30,000 points. We have been able to utilize our points and have been enjoying our purchase. We noticed that the maintenance fees skyrocketed...
Please forgive me, as I am new to this group. I purchased a platinum deeded week at Tuscany Village almost 20 years ago. Since the merger with Diamond, it seems like I can never find availability anymore for the more desirable locations, even when checking exactly nine months out. We are...

If you can stomach a 2-hour tour, HGVC will pay you back! In other words, pay $199, stay for 3 nights, and essentially pay $0. The special ends on November 26th (but you can vacation anytime in 12 months), so you need to act fast. I do not get anything for it, just seeing if anyone wants a $0...
When you convert HGVC point to RCI points, the RCI properties you get access are limited. Could someone explain how to get access to more RCI properties? Also seems the access to RCI properties one has access is harder to book. I am in Northern California and do see limited RCI locations and...
How many people can you add to your HGVC account, so they don’t need pay for “ Guest Certificates”?
How long it takes to add someone as a guest?
Thanks
Hi, I have a unit I'd like to rent in Hilton Hawaiian Village,... I've posted it on AirBnB and Redweek, but have had little success.
Has anyone used VRBO before, or any other recommendations?
I tried posting to VRBO, but they require both a Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) number and a...

I recently contacted theHGV resale department in hopes they would just take our timeshare back. It's paid off, 5600 points annually, and up to date on its maintenance fee. Has anyone had any experience with them? I wanted to try them first to get out of this timeshare.
So, I stayed recently for conference at this location as a Diamond Member and had an upgrade to the 10th floor Disneyland View. Wife was less than impressed with the view... they spoke of Fireworks... Not so much

I was looking on eBay and found some even-year contracts. How does HGVC handle them? Do you get, say, 8000 points to use for the 24 months, or do you have to use them or lose them by the end of your use (even or odd) year? They're definitely less expensive than 8000 points yearly, I was just...
Hello Everyone,
We have recently attended a HGVC timeshare presentation in Kingsland, Hawaii. Fortunately I have happened to visit this forum before attending the presentation which has saved us a lot of money (we were quoted $54,000 for 11,200 points Platinum week with HGV MAX). We really...
Good Morning.
I have owned this timeshare for over 10 years. I have never transferred into a diff property. I am sick of MB as that is the resort that is the closest to me. I can NEVER GET INTO HHI or Charleston. What is the secret? I googled HGV resorts and I see a kitty hawk come up but...

Hello all.
TLDR: Key info in bold portions. Questions are bolded and italicized and in teal.
Before I say anything else; I'm a relatively sensitive person. I fully understand and respect that you have all probably seen/heard my story countless times from others. I have been lurking, reading...
should make for more options for HGV owners, although I cringe at imagining the cost!

5500 points generated every other year

In the process of purchasing HGVC in Las Vegas. Been poking around the web, and slightly confused. I've seen many places listing point requirement charts, which seem to list the same properties (45?), but on their website https://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/en/resorts-and-destinations there...
Hi all

In October of 2022 we signed for a HGVC in Las Vegas for Elara. The total cost was about $15,000 and we get 2560 points a year. Everything sounded good until we logged in and realized that 2560 points doesn't get you much of anything! Definitely not the "about 10 days" we were sold. Do I not...
