Guided Tours

[cds62]

Long time HGVC owner but I can't seem to find an answer to a question. Are you able to book guided tours that include hotels, excursions, etc. around the world? For some reason I remember this but I can't find anything on the HGVC website so not sure if I imagined it. Using my MVC points I can book tours through Collette and was wondering if HGVC offers something similar.

It can be found under Club Partner Perks. Go to Club Member Exclusives then you'll find Club Partner Perks (see screen capture).

The best use of Club Points is for timeshare stays. The other options just allow you to apply your Club Points towards the total cost. It's not designed to save you money so your total out of pocket cost might be higher compared to buying directly using cash.

Thank you....and you are right it's a horrible use of points.

It is a case of staying in your lane or using you points or money where you bought them with the intention of using them to get nazimum value. When you exchange to Hilton Honors, Other Hotels, Cruises or other Partner Perks you are leaving your lane or using your points outside of not only your system but outside of the function that you purchased them for. The vendor that you are exchanging your points to obtain is setting the rules and the rates not HGVC so you must pay what that vendor wants to be paid for the services they are giving you. HGVC is just a stand by vehicle that really is not involved in the price negoiation.
