Just pay transfer/closing cost, last quoted 300 dollars (?) for Anderson Ocean Club resort on Myrtle Beach, 2bd/2b. If its more, willing to pitch in on cost.

6560 points available to deposit for a cruise now, or use next year (includes depositing as RCI points or Hilton Hotel points as well as their network). This points become active 2025 unless you deposit towards cruise this year or you pull points to use this year for RCI.
Again- this is every other year. 6560 Points Silver ODD. Check in day Saturday if you are using at home resort.
Yearly HOA fee 163.15, every other year maintenance fee (this year will be due) due by 12/31/24, ~1150 exact amount will be set by board around October.


We just don't have vacation time to use since new jobs. We been using them towards cruise in the past, and at RCI and hilton hotels (so I can answer questions to that based on experience)

TIP: How to edit your post (link).

@knits1
You'll want to edit your initial post to specify the following:
  • whether the available points are current or save points
  • ownership season (Platinum, Gold or Silver)
  • when the next set of Club points are expected (in 2025 or 2026 and how many Club Points)
  • whether this is an every other odd or even year
  • the latest MF and annual Club Dues. The 2024 MF that was report for Anderson is here (link).
Here's the HGVC Anderson Ocean Club point chart (see below).
For example, a standard two bedroom gets 11,200 Club Points (for Platinum season), 8,000 Club Points (for Gold Season) or 5,600 Club Points (for Silver Season)

I added the ownership season, and restated the rest (I did put all that, including in the title, I guess not clear enough...?). My information is directly taken from Hilton (including what they advertised when they listed it on a broker site last year).

Putting it in the title definitely is not clear enough. @alwysonvac was only trying to be helpful. Your original post didn't include that this is a Silver season (or I missed it in the first version). That is one of the most important details to include. Have you spoken with HGVC about giving this back? With this being a silver, it comes in around .25$ per point which may be difficult to find a home for here.

yes I have. They said no because it wasn't in the first 10 days of purchase. Interesting since Hilton normally does well. Plus they should be able to upgrade if they choose to. So I will just have to default on it since that would put me out of options. They won't let me deed back, and if I can't give it away ..... The few times we used it, we did save money, but we just can't use it due to lack of vacation time

I am just thinking out loud so do not take any of this for fact as there are much more knowledgable individuals on here regarding ROFR.net and HGVC. Looking at the latest entries for Anderson Ocean, nothing seems to have passed. If you could get an offer of even like $1 to submit to Hilton, you may be able to get them to take it back via ROFR.

I don't understand what you mean by nothing seems to have passed???. But making my resort sound not worth it with .25 point value...well, not seeing how you are helping me! I see much worse resorts on here. We have used it and I have stayed at great resorts for 125 dollars for the week using their system. Same for hotel stays. This was not my only ownership, the other one I deeded back couple years ago when we stopped being able to travel, and its value was a lot less!

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

@Volkyro is referring to the table at the website ROFR.net
People have entered their purchase/sale amount, and whether Hilton took it back via Right of First Refusal
When it says "FAILED", it means Hilton took the place of the buyer and exercised their right to purchase at that price.

so it means it sold if it says failed? sorry that's confusing terminology to me. And we were told we don't qualify for it because its passed 10 day grace period (we bought 12 years ago)

HGVC has a right of first refusal to stop any deal from happening, and to take it over themselves under the same terms.

It sold to the intended buyer when it "passes". In that instance, HGVC waives their right of first refusal and lets the transaction move forward between buyer and seller.

It sold to HGVC when it "fails". In that instance, HGVC exercises their right of first refusal and becomes the buyer. Originally intended buyer ends up with nothing.

Pass/fail is from the perspective of the buyer. Seller gets the same result one way or another.

I did, I doubt it will go anywhere since the last time they pushed me to have them list it on their broker site.
I just wish there was a rule after recommending to post in here in case someone does want it before letting Hilton to have it for free, to not post unless they are interested in the resort. Making comments about: " it comes in around .25$ per point which may be difficult to find a home for here." I find highly inappropriate in this forum and poor taste for "free timeshare" where it suppose to be for sales. I have no way to delete my post because after all these side discussions....who would be interested now?....LOL
Its one thing to suggest adding that its silver week (only thing that was missing) but another to put the rest of the comments.....

ok, so they where able to sell their resort, and not necessary to Hilton is what I'm reading. Well after all these comments here, although some sold exactly the same resort as me, but people telling me there is a slim chance for mine to sell here, on my "free resort" post....just not seeing it. Not sure why people decided that was ok to do....clearly the exact same unit sold before, and i'm trying to give mine away.

it would not matter to you if HGVC exercised rofr or not (and chances are they wont if they have already refused to take it back using their surrender program)... either you transfer it to the interested party or transfer it to hilton. no matter what you are no longer the owner.

sometimes you just have to be persistent at contacting them to request a surrender...dont take no for an answer!

I agree, that's why I wasn't understanding why people where telling me about it. I don't care who takes it..... it was interesting to see that people sold it to someone or back to Hilton since Hilton keeps telling me they don't do deed backs. Or the last time, I had it past 10 days and I don't qualify. But again, why tell me about it, and on my "giving it away" thread....have noticed it on any other threads in this part of the forum where people are trying to give a way their resort (whatever resort it is)

This isn't a timeshare sales office where you're sugarcoated. This is a place to discuss timeshares truthfully. The truth is, your deed is bad and nobody will likely want it even for free. This community will always warn anyone before making a wrong move. We look after each other. After all, HGVC deed's value lies either in its home week value (think: Christmas Hawaii, ski week in Utah or Colorado, beach front properties in the summer, etc) or in the maintenance-fee-per-point ratio (high in points, low in MF - like Blvd 2 BR Platinum, Elara Plus Platinum deeds, etc).

Of course, we feel for you getting swindled by the salesperson, and are here to offer help. Most members of this forum ended up here after losing a ton of money on a useless timeshare. That's why deedback is recommended. If it doesn't go, we often suggest defaulting on the MFs, and letting them foreclose on it. There are dedicated threads about it, and how it may or may not affect one's credit score.

I think perhaps you are taking things the wrong way, every post above is someone attempting to be helpful to a new member.

nothing posted there is really going to impact your situation, your timeshare has no resale value and if someone is interested in taking it off your hands its going to be for free (and you might have to pay all the closing costs).

WOW dude. I was encouraged to list it her under free incase somebody wants it. IT IS A BEACH FRONT, summer does start and is when we vacation, not the height of summer. I had no idea that me listing under free resort would invite people to attack me!!! And accuse me of wrong doing and questioning my character .....just WOW. I have asked on another threat about foreclosure on the foreclosure threat, but you come here to beat me up while I have not received any useful information on my thread for foreclosure....just wow

i listed for free, and after all these comments including questioning my character now, I'm sure nobody is interested in it even for free! I seen the one as being helpful where she said to add the week, but everything after that is literally picking my resort, and now picking me apart and character assassination by Nowaker....

Silver season in Myrtle Beach is weeks 1-7 and 48-50. That's not when the summer starts.

I would tend to agree that summer does not start in myrtle beach (or even florida) in weeks 1-7.

we are currently in week 22 and its not even officially summer yet.

I believe the intent is to correct any mistakes or misunderstandings in the listing. most folks shopping the resale market already know its not an ideal ownership to purchase and you may indeed only have the option to convince them to take it back...or default on it to rid yourself of it.

you will find someone suggesting to pursue the deedback option in many free giveaway threads, especially ones where the ownership is truly one that would be extremely difficult to give away.

in these cases deedback or default are the only options left available to the owner.

I clearly completely misunderstood the Intent of the for "free thread". I listed my resort correctly , everything after that is trying to understand a discussion about information I didn't put, list or ask for. I updated the info to include it was silver week. I read the rules to list for a resort for free, I didn't see that it included picking the resort itself apart, having someone attack my integrity accusing me of lying or being informed that it's members duty to inform others on my free listing that it's a bad resort and nobody should buy. Making reference to that dot Net list, which on my other post in other thread explained to sell my resort and have Hilton decline so they buy back. It is all news to me. I thought this was simply a thread allowing me to list my unit for free in case someone wants it to ad to their points stash or use it like did for cruises, Hilton specials. And RCI. So again I so misunderstood the purpose of this thread, and didn't see this happening to other threads and been completely blind sided by the hostility
As for the spring season, I will have to pull out my paperwork, but it was not listed in my original information, but simply trying to defend myself from continuous attack by that member. I used my silver points in Las Vegas.
Again, my apologies for completely misunderstanding how this feed and thread suppose to work, or it's purpose

I did not see that on the threads i looked thru for giveaway. I only see people post and responded say they send pm, request clarification or no response at all. I asked about default information under the appropriate thread, but unfortunately been striking out on getting info.

well yes, if an ownership had interested parties there wouldnt be a need to suggest trying to surrender it back to the resort.

however for anyone looking to give away an unwanted timeshare, TUG advice is almost always to try to reach out to the resort to ask about a deedback. it is certainly not unique to your situation though as mentioned above is likely to have a better chance of success than finding a new owner to take it off your hands.

Perhaps look at it another way, had someone provided you the truth about your ownership before you bought it originally you likely would have been extremely thankful for that information! Countless owners here find themselves in this very situation and also wish they had gotten that info before buying vs afterwards. Believe me if you had come on TUG asking about this ownership before you bought it, youd get the exact same responses!
