For those of you who have called HGVC from Europe, is the Worldwide number on the website, +1 407-722-3722, the best number to call? TIA

I was shocked to discover they disconnected their main "1-800" number, I guess they were tired of paying the bill. Anyway, 1-888-317-7416 still works, and is for account management and paying your HOA Bill. There's another number I found, which is just Club Direct Sales. 1-800-932-4482.

If I were in your shoes, I'd try to call with Skype as I think that's a free call for you. You can also try and call it from USADirect, and see if the number picks up the billing. I know if you call Hilton or United phone numbers, those toll-charges are picked up by the companies.

Another option is WiFi calling if in a place with WiFi. Of course, if one turns on international roaming, this is all moot.

Cheers.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit.

My 104 day "By Hilton Club Priority" window opens while I'm in Europe and the website still isn't allowing me to book those reservations...I have to call. And I couldn't remember if HGVC has a European call centre.

The technical details of calling the US from Europe as inexpensively as possible I've got down pat... ;-)

Yeah, that was pretty clear. Since @MM9 had already included options for calling cheaply, though, I figured I'd add one in case anyone else stumbles across this thread.

Cheers.
