I live in Europe but currently visiting Orlando, Florida. I'm interested in doing a sales presentation with Hilton to find out more about their system, how would I go about this? I'm currently a Marriott owner and know it's system very well.

You could check this offer but it may be US residents only. Maybe use the resident address where you are staying.

If you want to do the sales pitch for the perks, that makes sense to me. If you are really doing it just to learn about the system, that is not a good use of your time. You can learn far more about the way the system actually works here. You will get some info and a bunch of half-truths from the presentation.

Cheers.

What @brp said. I and many others here own both and will happily guide you through the advantages and disadvantages of HGVC.

You will not get a good overview of the system from a sales-meeting.
It's mostly half-truths & lies about how you need to spend a ton of $$.
They'll show you lots of pretty pictures and ask you to imagine being there.
They won't talk about finding nothing available when and where you want.
They won't say a peep about membership dues, transactions fees and MF's.

That said, HGVC is (aside from it's sales weasels) a decent & well-run system.

You can save ~70% of the cost, and a ton of your time, buying resale.

I agree with previous posters, you will learn the truth if you just ask your questions here on TUG. We have a great group of HGVC TUG members who want to help. IMO, HGVC is a great TS system very friendly to resale buyers.

I agree with everybody answering in this thread. There are members here that are more knowledgeable about the system than many salesman. You are better off just not going.
