And now that we have a list of resorts that include the HGVC properties that theoretically qualify for the $200 resort credit when you pay the MFs I thought it might be useful to log oddities - resorts that are listed but but don't, resorts that do qualify even though they aren't in the list, resorts that qualify but don't automatically trigger the credit so you have to call or chat, etc.

My contribution is that Lagoon Tower qualifies because it is part of Hilton Hawaiian Village but doesn't trigger because the MFs are billed as "HILTON GV HVVS HOA HHONOLULU HI". But since the detail shows the charge as "HILTON GRAND VACATIONS CLUB AT HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE" the AMEX CSRs will issue the credit.

I have not been able to get that credit as a Lagoon owner.

I will note that having to call CSR comes with a risk as this is, technically, not a true resort expense and they could deny it. Not saying that it will happen, but it could as I don't believe that HOA fees are supposed to count. So, anomalies come with risk.

Cheers.
