Sorry to inform you that Max does not transfer to new owner on resales.

So OP @HeyPachimari needs to list the underlying resort name, week, unit size and maintenance fee minus the Max fee in order to sell.

It might be just the old DRI (now HVC) trust points in the US Collection, no underlying resort deed, resale can reserve any resort in the collection (Trust).

Hey Friend,
Thanks for information, here is the information I got from the customer service, This person told me that I could transfer the account ownership and there is 250 dollar transfer fee.

There are options other than Transitions when cancelling an ownership. One option is the private sell of the contract, to an individual. You may visit www.arda.org for more information on this option.
Another option would be a transfer of ownership to another person. You may contact our Change of Ownership department at 877-497-7521, after selecting the language you wish to proceed in, option 2 for more information on the transfer process. Their hours are Monday - Friday 8:00 - 5:00 Eastern Time.

Hey Friend,

Account transfer is usually reserved to other family members, then all privileges are retained.

When sold to anyone else access to MAX would be removed so the points can only reserve in the HVC US Collection, losing 6 month access to HGVC resorts.

Gotcha, I did not know about that.
Would you mind also share the difference between HGV US collection and HGVC resorts? HGV stands for hilton grand vacation, How about the HGVC?

Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) is the overall company. Hilton Grand Vacation Club (HGVC) is one of the sunsets of the overall company. HGVC resorts are based on deeds that can convert into points. It's the original group that splintered off from Hilton Hotels. Hilton Vacation Club (HVC) are the former DRI resorts that HGV acquired back in 2021. These are mostly trust point contracts with some older deeds that are still left in owners hands. HGV Max is a membership that you enroll in when you purchase directly from HGV. That membership cannot be passed to a resale buyer.

Many here, including myself, believe that HGV has purposely made the names of the different groups confusing on purpose so potential buyers are confused by the nomenclature. That makes it easier to get people to think they are getting a better deal than they are so they can sell more. Here are the different acronyms HGV uses:

HGV - Overall company that oversees all of the different groups and owns the majority of the properties

HGVC - The original membership of the company except for the former Intrawest/Embarc properties that were acquired when HGV bought out DRI. The Intrawest/Embarc properties are only available to Max Members and those reservations are only available when a Max Embarc member (very few of those) makes a reservation at an HGVC property.

HVC - The former DRI properties. This group is broken up into different collections that group different properties together, the US Collection, being one of them. Many of them are shared by the different collections. Interestingly enough, the Hawaii Collection contains more US Mainland properties than Hawaii properties.

Hilton Club - Upscale properties that can be booked by HGVC members without Max (some have limited booking windows). Many here refer this membership as bHC (these properties were once called by Hilton Club by HGVC).

The Hilton Club - One property in NY that only The Hilton Club owners can book with club points. Not associated the Hilton Club membership listed above.

HGV Max - A membership that was created in 2022 that linked HGVC and HGV. This membership allows members to book the other group at 6 months instead of the normal booking window. Many of the desired reservations will already be booked by that time.

Salespeople rarely point out how hard it's to book great weeks using the Max booking window.

If I can not find someone to take my account, In the worst case, I will just stop pay Maintaineance fee. From what I found out , there

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Do you by any chance know if I will have a lawsuit issue if I stop paying the Maintenance given that I have no financing and only paying annual maintenance fees ?
