Depends. Would you travel enough? Can you afford purch & Maint Fees? Assume yes.
Would you primarily use HGVC instead of DEX? Leg Elite does zero in DEX.
We are Elite Plus but we also own a Dev purchase bHC unit so fewer Craig needed and we get AI reservations via the bHC so we do not need PE. We like Elite but hard to say if only reason to buy.
All good Qs.
Yes pls, can afford the purchase price & ongoing MFs and plan to travel enough (to burn all these pts).
The specific ask was prompted by lots of posts at FB group re HGVC somehow devaluing Legacy HGVC Elite (although most of these posts were not helpful).
I realize they can remove any benefits anytime but just curious of everyone's experiences thus far (& where the Gurus see this going in short term)
EP is a modest developer resale Craig purchase, 15-20k GBP upfront cost (substantial by resale stds, if one doesn't need the pts or can't afford the 5k per year MF) but modest for buying direct from HGV purchase stds (where poor 20 y/o recently posted of buying a Gold Vegas deed for 23k from developer, for a measly 5,440 annual points).
If one gets the currently posted HGVC Elite Premier (EP) benefits of no reserv fees, no pt saving fees, 30% OS discount etc (+ availability to DEX EU via CL route etc, nothing to do with EP but just addl value, via CL purchase), then worth the modest up front cost, for me.
I consider the initial purchase price as sunk cost (although at the modest purchase prices, likely should be easy to exit without a significant cap loss over time).
Thoughts re HGVC Elite/EP benefits (or any perceived or anticipated devaluation by current HGVC Elites, esp EPs)?
TY!
