Plus, one of my HGV converts 50:1 with Hilton Honors (and also no club booking fees for all my points), combined with buy 4 nts with pts get 5th free and free weekend night cert + Hilton hotel diamond status with CC = nearly unlimited flexibility worldwide with Hilton, I am thrilled with the HGV system in my two years in the program. With my low MF locations really even 25:1 works for me well. I am looking forward to seeing if Diamond will open up any international locations, even out of season, for me, which would be a huge bonus.
Although I (and others) will note that, except for HGVC points that would otherwise go wasted, converting HGVC to HH is generally not a cost-effective strategy as the points/stays can usually be had for less than the HGVC investment. As a stopgap to prevent wastage, though, not bad at all.
Cheers.
