OK my story, I travel 100+ days a year and most of those days are spent in a Hilton hotel. To say I am a loyal Hilton member would be selling it short, I have been a Diamond VIP for the last 15 years every year. Had to be in Vegas for a job last weekend and I thought why not stay at the new Elara property and take the wife and have a quick little getaway. Nice, right? Same old story, 90 minutes of your time for $150 cash on dining at Mesa Grill I've sat through these things before and always said no. Not this time, this time I signed on the dotted line and paid cash for the whole thing; $30K for 5000 pts gold season with 11,0000 bonus points. Great deal right???? NOT!!! (I swear I'm smarter than that!)
I suddenly cant sleep, what have I bought? Is it a good deal? You know all the questions that run through your mind after you buy these things. So GOOGLE search and TUG comes up and the rest is history.
I will say Hilton was straight up a pleasure to work with, no games just an I'm sorry your not going to be an owner and at your convenience would you please mail us back our books. Your refund will appear in 48 hours. This all happened within 24 hours of receiving our rescission letter.
I have already found Seth and Judy and are looking at Hilton resale contracts, we will probably end up with much more points at a greatly reduced cost. I like points for the flexibility.
I do have a question for you experienced TS members out there. We love the Caribbean and I would not mind having a week or two with someone in that region. Hilton is not particularly strong in that area when it comes to TS Resorts. Any recommendations?
Finally if you use the RCI option with HGVC is that a good deal and can you get good properties if you plan well ahead.
Thanks again for all the great advice on how to rescind you guys are a godsend. Plan on seeing me around on this board.
