*GPP down to 30% from 50% discount..
Vegas is last minute leftovers for December now... Rest appear similar for Blvd, HGVC Fashion Show (= Trump)...
Elara & Paradise not extended for Jan thru May (unlike BF sale)..
(likely will come with those discounts in January or late December, 'Christmas or New Year' sale)...
TY!
 
Thank you for the notice of continuation of some black Friday discounts. New to timeshares and HGVC. I knew to expect the black Friday specials but pleasantly surprised to see some big discounts to continue. Does this happen every year?

It’s pretty typical. This is a decent way for HGV to manage inventory in the low seasons where they own a lot of inventory.

Are Penthouses @ Quin, and Quin two separate clubs?
 
Are Penthouses @ Quin, and Quin two separate clubs?
They show up as two separate resorts, but have just one HOA. For an owner, this allows one to book either as a home resort or using open season. It results in no upgrades for elites to penthouse units because it's a different resort and no elite upgrades within the penthouses because all the studios and 1 BRs are the same unit type despite the differences among them. The latter doesn't really matter much - they are all nice and there aren't many vacancies.

All that being said, I can see the possibility that they get separated for reservation eligibility in some way in the future. Limiting home resort reservations to penthouse owners would probably help gold season sales. I think the platinum weeks there are close to all sold. No such restriction exists now, though.

January - mid-March is not the best time to be in DC, but a low season museum and monuments tour at 55% off isn’t a bad deal at all!
I was there early Feb last year for a conference and said never again at that time of year.

It was miserably cold, and for context, I live in a place where it is currently -9 degrees outside.

Same, I was in DC last January for a work event, and it was the coldest I remember being in years. It was the wind, it cut through everything. Any body part exposed to it was burning cold in seconds after stepping outside.

And this is part of the reason that my brother-in-law and his wife moved from Silver Spring, MD to Washington state, outside of Seattle. It's cold there as well, but not compared to the DC area.

Cheers.

Sure but you aren't doing outside activities. You are inside at the museums. Walking outside in 20 degree weather is far superior to 90 degrees.

Sure, the museums are good, but part of the charm for me in DC is wandering around outside and seeing the architecture. I’ll easily clear 20k steps each day when in a place like DC. I’ll typically only take uber/lyft from the airport to the hotel, and then walk to where I need to be most of the time - it’s just more enjoyable for me.

But yes, I’ve been there in July and August a few times - 90+ is a killer for being outside - especially in a suit and tie. My favorite time is May.
 
Thanks for the post. Just changed my mid Feb reservation and saved about 1400 points. The discrepancy I have is that it was 41% savings and not the 55% stated. Did everyone get 55% savings for The District bookings?

Ill take the savings but was wondering if anyone else had less than the stated savings?

Did your mid-February reservation include any days between the 13th and the 15th? They aren't discounted, so would reduce your overall savings percentage. It's happened for me before - you likely have ~55% off on the rest of the reservation; I think my savings was 55.1% due to rounding.

Edited to fix silly auto correction inserted by artificial "intelligence."
 
Nope, just 55%! ;)
Well that place in Las Vegas that my wife refuses to stay at you can get almost 100% off. :) I think I was looking at going there myself and booking a studio. 416 points for 3 days. They are almost giving it away.

I’m curious why the massive discount at this property? Is it just the name, or is there something else going on? Asking because I booked three days after a conference for less than one night cost in a Hyatt Place.

It is just the name. People complain about the location but you just cross the street and walk through the mall. It is probably a shorter walk to Las Vegas Blvd than some locations inside of Mandalay Bay. The property looks pretty nice.
