I just completed an owner update of the HGVMax in Kauai and I wanted to share the updates... As expected, the merger continues. I was able to confirm the current timelines for the new features in 2023 / 20204. Because it s software, it is subject to delays. Thus far Hilton has been...
Just had my first owner update with Marriott. I had a great salesperson in Abe. He provided me with some great options.... At the end of the day, I could not get past the 12% increase in maintenance fees. There are some interesting options but I just could get past the increase this year...
Currently at Westin Nanea and haven't seen the "concierge" yet but I know they will try to get me to attend the owner update.
I'm curious what the best incentives are being offered for attending the owner update. Also, I have found that sometimes better incentives are offered off-property like...
With all the travel I am doing staying in timeshares full time, I get a lot of opportunities for Owner Updates. This is good especially with regards to Club Wyndham and Worldmark as they are having to compete with Marriott and Hilton which forces them to innovate. Today's video is from my...
With all the travel I am doing staying in timeshares full time, I get a lot of opportunities for Owner Updates. This is good especially with regards to Hilton and HGVMax as they are going thru a lot of changes. Today's video is from my December 2022 owner update.
The sales team is expecting...
I am finishing a long stay at WDW, the last few days of which were an Encore Package, so today was my required owner update/sales presentation.
The sales people (both the main sales guy and the "manager") were adamant that 95% of the Marriott and unsold Vistana inventory is now in the "Marriott...
I recently completed an owner update in Hawaii at a Club Wyndham location. They also understand WorldMark, so they are able to address all of the potential value for me.
I had a great salesperson who listened to how I use my timeshares and what I might need. The bottom line is I was shown a...
I just completed an owner update and upgraded my resale purchase to HGVMax points. This puts me at the Premier + tier and I am happy with the purchase and the upgrade.
In this video I will provide a summary of the benefits of the HGVMax program. I'll also discuss the highlights of the...
Who doesn't want to go to Hawaii for a week? Well, hopefully this video will provide you with a way to make your dream happen. I know that it did for me. Honestly, I was surprised that I could do this. But if it worked for me, it seemed like a great idea to share my success so other could...
Hi All!
We are "newer" HGVC owners and just attended our owners update... and we bit! By newer I mean we purchased our first EOY HGVC deed in 2019, and then upgraded to an EY BHC deed six months later. I will share the details of our owners update which was primarily focused on HGV Max...
Hi everyone,
So some months ago, I took advantage of a "Would you like to hear an exciting new offer" phone-bait for 500 Honors Points and got hooked up into an owner update. I chose Hilton Head Island and then used some points to tack on an Ocean Oak Resort stay since I'd never been...
Going to Marbrisa over the July 4th holiday weekend and I suspect they will try to get me to take the tour/owner update. Any idea what the current presentation gift is for HGVC owners? I MIGHT consider for two ticket to Seaworld or Legoland. Any ideas?
Currently staying at the NCV, and they are asking us to do an owner update. We haven't done an update in over 7 years. The gifts they are offering are listed above. The question is- is enrollment in the DC worth it? When they first rolled it out, it cost approx $2000. Our main concerns with...
Has anyone listened to an owner update to find out how the Marriott purchase of ILG will impact Vistana Flex moving forward? I'm curious since I'll be staying in a Vistana resort next week and I'm wondering what will be shared if I do an "owner update".
