It seems I have been deMaxed

letsgobobby said:
I got Maxed about 18 months ago following some resale deed

And now it no longer says Max when I log in. And HGV properties like Sedona or Embarcs no longer show up in the search bar.

Anyone else?

Did you pay the higher dues for Max but get reimbursed?

I did not as I have AI

My memory is that Max dues are slightly different than Legacy AI. (I can check tomorrow when I return from vacation).

My app/webpage still says Max, and last I checked I still had a guest cert available, but trying now to look at availability on non HGVC “Max” properties shows no availability. Maybe I’ve been “Quietly” deMaxed.

no availability at Max properties is pretty much everyone's experience, that has Max :)

Yes. Waiting for the second deMax, then forever Max.

Did you have any HVC bookings that you made while you were maxed? If so did they stay when you were demaxed?

No booking experience and no real need for Max yet but it’s fun to have it.

Think the inventory will improve over time when HGVC sell more Max unless they give up and focus on DEX.

Not really sure about that statement either because it is an exchange system. More exchanges just means more people involved.

Sure thing if Hilton keeps selling trust points with Max, then the associated trust portfolio will open for others to book. Same goes for Bluegreen points.

Book when? If they each keep booking their own systems, the desirable properties will still be booked. All of the desirable HGVC properties will be booked. Go take a peek 7 months in in popular resorts during peek times. You won’t find much.
 
It seems that fees keep going up for club members each year. I imagine reservation fees will increase from $79 to $89 per reservation starting January 1 2026. At least Max does not have to pay reservation fees. It is one more way that HGVC can squeeze money out of Legacy owners. I just wonder how much the ownership transfer fees will increase for those of us buying resales after January 1 2026?

That is the nice part about Legacy Elite Premier... Lower club dues than Max but no reservation fees, fees to save, fees to convert to HH, fees to deposit to RCI, and unlimited free guest certificates...

Owning Legacy bHC NYC and DC as well. I can happily made speculative reservations without worrying about having to make sure I will want an additional reservation in what remains of the year.
 
It is nice having Legacy Elite Premier right now, with the reservation system now requiring that they be cancelled and rebooked to walk many of my reservations (Valdoro and Ocean Oak)
