Just bought a 4 day/3 night promo package for Hilton Head Ocean Oak, but no room at the Inn

Yes to all of that. Resale week with HGVC will be more flexible than Marriott resale week. With the Hilton week, you’ll have access to book your week during the defined season or use the points elsewhere for any number of nights greater than or equal to three. Marriott week though, got to use the week in the defined season. Hilton Head resale is tough though. Lost a Ocean Oak at 15k and a Grande Ocean at 17k to ROFR…both platinum, both 2br, both oceanfront.

You have to compare apples to apples. Trial package and sales presentation package are completely different and have different rules. Trial package are just like HGVC points but you are limited to developer inventory, which could be good or bad, depending on the location you are going. A location with active sales might have more onsight inventory, but older sold out resorts could be problematic. Sales presentation packages like the OP posted are generally sold in advance and not at the resort and there is obligation to attend a 2 hr presentation. Usually unless there are specific circumstances, the room you get is generally a nearby Hilton Hotel.
