HGV Max

[DaDominator1657]

Relatively new owners and first time posting here so if this is the wrong place please let me know —- bought 5,500 annual trust points (with max) directly through HGV at the end of 2025 and now looking to double my annual points. Obviously would prefer to go resale to save some cash moving forward. We also currently have a VIP package through Hilton to try out some of the places using more points before we decide. That did come with a price lock if that even matters ($4.36 per).

Now all I care about is being able to use any new points with my current 5,500 on the same account. If I bought resale trust points to match what I already have, would they go on the same account? Would they also be max? Now if I bought deeded points instead, does that make my account more difficult to use and book? Again just want to avoid having separate accounts here and determine if I need to buy more directly from Hilton to make this work…. Sure would be nice to save some cash though

Any advice is appreciated!

when you say HGV trust points, do you mean HVC (ie diamond resorts)?

what resort did you purchase at?

Well avoid purchasing anything more directly from Hilton.

I moved your post to the HVC since you purchased trust points.

There are severe restrictions in buying HVC (DRI) resell. They can only be used in their Home Collection (Trust). Also resell Points and Developer purchased Points can not be combined to make a Reservation. Resell Points are not MAX. Unfortunately to do what you want you would have to buy more Points from Hilton at a ridiculous price.

Purchased at the main Hilton Orlando FL sales center, believe it was mystic dunes. It’s just the 5500 points in the trust instead of deeded

ah yes, sadly as we guessed at the start, that is a hilton vacation club ownership (ie diamond resorts)...not hilton grand vacation club. they are two completely different systems...and two very different answers to your question.

Note that if it had been Embarc (HGVC) there would be no restrictions on resale within the Embarc "system" or DEX. HGV Max doesn't get added to resale points so would be useable only with the developer points. Unfortunately, 5500 points isn't much to use pretty much anywhere in HGV and would require more points to be purchased. Sales purposely undersells, I'm certain, in order to box in the buyer into having to make another developer purchase - in order to get decent use of the points already bought in insufficient quantity.
