600,000 points for spending about $8,000 on timeshares

I know this is Starwood but just noticed this deal for Hilton.....

Maybe someone can use this deal from Hilton to get a better deal (more points) from VISTANA.

Don't flame me for posting Hilton on this forum.
Just thought it was useful for someone currently making deal with Vistana.

So you have to purchase 7000 HGVC points? Can you purchase that many points for as little as $8,000? Also, what are Club Points? Is this a new pure points based product from HGVC vs. the current weeks overlay that they have?

yeah, 7,000 points direct is about $45,000 .. do your research

NerdWallet valued Hilton HHonors points at 0.5 cent each, below the industry standard of 1 cent each, when redeemed for hotel stays.

So 600,000 points are worth $1500 discount for spending $45,000

It looks like 12 nights in a moderate Hilton Hotel for a direct purchase of tens of thousands of dollars. I am not seeing the value.

Interesting that they promoting HHonors points instead of the usual HGVC bonus points... Its hard to say if this is much of special promo as they offer bonus points with most direct purchases

I'm failing to see where this $8000 figure is coming from. Anyone?

Since this is about Hilton not Starwood I've moved it to the Hilton Forum
