Aside from getting bonus points as an incentive for direct Hilton purchase. How else can you earn Bonus Points to be used during Open Season?
 
IIRC, they also give you bonus points if you refer someone to HGVC who completes a purchase. However, you would not be doing them any favors for doing so.

You can use bonus points not only for open-season, but also other perks, RCI trades, Hilton hotel reservations, conversion to HHonors points and maintenance fees.

HOWEVER, they will soon be gone, and you will be left with a T/S for which you paid way too much.
 
okay thanks! i guess the only way to get these kinds of points is by referring (if they purchase) and purchasing yourself. No thanks!
 
Sometimes bonus points are offered for taking an owner's update.
 
Thanks! Good to know that an owner update can get you points.

However, beware that the phrase "owner update" is a euphemism for what is in realty a "sales session," and you will likely be subject to a hard sell straight out of the T/S sales playbook.

I have been on more than one owner's update and never remember getting bonus points. Maybe you have been luckier than we have! :D

Though we have been promised bonus points in the past for referrals, which never happened. :mad:
 
bonus point for referals

We also were promised bonus points for referals. When they did not appear in the time frame stated I called up the customer rep. When she didn't follow through I followed up with a email. When the timeline passed and my account did not reflect the 3400 bonus points I forwarded my emails to the head of the timeshare division along with a complaint. I found the email address on the HGVC wesite. Low and behold two days later points were deposited in my account. Be sure to follow up when HGVC doesnot follow through you will get your points.
 
we just went through owner's update at LV strip and got $100 worth of coupons towards food..No bonus points
