Over the weekend I purchased 3,400 HGVC points from the developer. Let's just ignore the stupidity factor there, OK? I'm already aware. What "sold" me, though, was the 16,000 bonus points. My sales magician told me that it takes 1,000 points for a r/t domestic flight (including Hawaii) and 2,000 points for a r/t international flight. We own a home on Maui and air is expensive. We want to take our daughter to Europe next summer and that's expensive. So my thought was that my $12,000 purchase price would be made back easily by using bonus points for pricey airline tickets. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
Here's the thing, though... I can't get into the HGVC site yet, so all I can see is a chart of exchange values that says in tiny print at the bottom it's from 2006. What I need to know is, how does that whole "exchanging bonus points for AA certificates" really work? Today, not in 2006! All details welcome and appreciated. And quickly, please, because I still have a few days to rescind - which I will do if I'm not going to get good value with these plane tickets!
