Help - a friend has asked me for advice regarding a purchase he is considering. I don't know the Hilton program at all - what do you all think??
We have until Thursday night to rescind the sale. The package was with a development project in Carlsbad but the so called enticement was that it was hooked in with Hilton's vacation package. Essentially we paid $23K to buy one week per year at the resort of 5800 points to use per year through either Hiltons Vacation Package or through RCI. It will cost us about $800 a year for dues and taxes and we pay $49 to have vacations arranged at a Hilton site and $149 to have it done through RCI. Based on the points we have we are supposed to get two weeks per year anywhere in the world. Of course one week would be in peak season, the other in off season. Were also allowed to us it in any amount of days increments we want, so we can go for 2-3 days. 3-5 days, etc....
I think it must be Grand Pacific Palisades - advice???
Thank you!!
