Hi new TUG family,
Thank you all for your expertise and information that you’ve already shared through the rest of the post here in the forums. I’ve learned a lot over the last few weeks by reading the different info here.
I’ve been on ~10 timeshare pitches, and have seen several different...
Alright, HGVC pros check my understanding of HGVC. I call this a “real life” example, because it’s a plan that would actually occur to me and IF I were an owner, I would try to execute. Note that I went to my first timeshare presentation in July of this year (HGVC) and just got back from 2nd...
I attended the HGVC "Owner Orientation" in Dallas this morning, with over 300 other owners. I was concerned it might be a sales pitch, but it was not. In fact, there were NO salespeople in attendance only Owner Services folks. It was exactly as advertised, an attempt to help HGVC Owners...
I recently bought resale and looking for tips from the group on when is the best time to book. I bought an EOY (odd) ts in Orlando and want to visit Hawaii end of June.
I regretfully own a HGVC timeshare at the HGVC Anderson Ocean Club in Myrtle Beach. I have [redacted] bonus points I need to book by September [redacted.] I don't plan on using these myself.
1) I want to get rid of this (especially before the next fee year in 2020)
2) It would be great to...
Hello and thanks in advance for the opinions and sharing your knowledge! I've lurked around the forums for a while, but would like to formally ask for some help getting started.
General info:I prefer to stay in the HGVC family because I trust and often choose the Hilton brand for business and...
Just want to say thanks. Have been lurking and researching here for a while after attending a sales presentation at Ocean Oak (HGVC) in Hilton Head.
Finally found what i was looking for -- 7k annual points (Platinum 2 bdrm) at Bay Club in Hawaii, won the E-bay auction a few weeks ago for $885...
Just matched my first RCI OGS: 26 Jan 19 @ HGVC Kohala Suites, 2br (BI)
I can still cancel today....I'm thinking of cancelling this exchange and holding out for King's land....
Lack of gym in facility, grills, bar, rest. etc....
Any thoughts?
New to timesharing and to Hilton GVC. We want to reserve one of the 3 HGVC Carlsbad CA resorts in November. Which is the best of the three? We are not big beach people, so what to do near by.
I had a chance to visit Okinawa recently. While I was staying at a Double Tree Hotel in the downtown area, I saw other Hilton resort in Okinawa. And I totally forgot the name of the place where a new HGVC resort will be built in a few years. But I happened to go there. The place is called...
I don't really know where to put this because I just signed up to post this for you guys, but I'm going to say this is first an introduction and second a really well deserved thank you letter. Please move this if the post should be somewhere specific.
My fiancée and I were in Orlando, FL this...
Hi all, pretty new here in TUG. Became a member a few weeks ago as I feel there are some knowledgable people here.
Looking to purchase 7200 platinum biennial points in Oahu (1 bedroom at GW). The plan would be to add points a few years down the road.
Any suggestions on what I should be...
Hi Everyone,
I am posting for a friend who is thinking of buying at Ocean Oak. They went to a HGVC presentation this week while staying in Myrtle Beach and were offered a week each year at the above resort for $30K! Can anyone give their opinion on this purchase please? I encouraged them to...
I just went to a presentation and bought a very large number of HGVC points (given many bonus points) and am having major buyers remorse. The buyers remorse is that we just spent too much money and got more points than are going to be worth it. I read here that I can cancel/rescind that sale...
Can anyone explain what the 1 in 4 rule means at HGVC (particularly Hawaii)?
Does it bar you from staying at that specific resort again in 4 years or anything within the HGVC system?
Thanks, ;)
Hi everyone,
Looking for help here. Attended sales pitch at the Elara in Vegas yesterday and decided to purchase a low point Package at the HG Paradise in Vegas.
Applied for the Hilton AMEX card during the presentation because they lied to me and told me that Amex and Hilton points/ 12...
I own at FAVC (Fiesta Americana) in Cabo San Lucas. You used to be able to book many HGVC (Hilton) resorts thru the FAVC and HGVC partnership. Now FAVC members only seem to have access to 4 HGVC resorts; Orlando, Las Vegas, Hawaii and Miami. No more Utah, Manhattan, Colorado etc. Also the...

Hi, I need some advice and answers for my situation. I'm trying to buy 4800 Vegas Blvd with Hilton through SaleMyTimeshareNow. I got a great offer accepted for $2000 BUT Samuel with Selling Timeshares says there is no way that it will pass ROFR. Is he right? Is there not any chance it will...
hi tuggers
Turns out that hgvc has instituted a new $25 resort fee Pr day for all inbound RCI trades. The fee is in affect as of 16th of January so all confirmed RCI reservations from this date going forward will need to pay.
Hopefully some or most of the money will go toward the owners mf but...
Hi All,
We just bought the HGVC Grand Islander TS and it’s our first TS. Can you provide some advice if we did right in his purchase? We love the location but we can’t figure out if it was worth it, or a good deal, and what value is a point to determine break even.
Here are the terms:
Platinum...
Hi all,
As it seems to be common, my wife and I were convinced during a HGVC sales presentation to buy into the Elara resort. The following day I did some better research and stumbled on this site. Following in the guidance of those before me, I am now in the process of rescinding. I'm going to...
I am 28 and I recently received some money and was thinking about purchasing. I did a presentation and really like HGVC and the concept and I've seen that I need to purchase resale but I'm wondering am I too young? The package I was looking at was 3400 points and I can buy out-right. I travel...
Hilton waived ROFR on August 22 for the HGVC on the Boulevard - Las Vegas. I paid $7,500 for 7K points Platinum season and the $562 Hilton activation fee. All other closing costs were incurred by the seller. The maintenance fee breakdown is $826.83 + $159 (Club Dues) = $985.83. What are your...
my husband and I are complete newbies to this and thought we had all the information to make the most informed decision. We signed yesterday with HGVC in Orlando for the smaller package with 3400 points. We went back and forth to get extra points upon signing and ultimately ended up with 12000...
