Are the Hilton Club NY and W 57th both impossible to book?
I didn't see any availability at all for next year. What is the deal?

Sounds like staying at one of the NY clubs is almost out of the question.
There is no availability for The Hilton Club NY 44 days out, and limited (1 or 2 night stays in a studio) at W 57th.
That really limits any travel to NY if you want to stay at HGVC.
:annoyed:
You can look on RCI every day, too. Many people get short stays that way.
Or, you can book your home week, deposit it to SFX and exchange to NYC through them.

Please explain this process. Book my home week and how do I deposit into SFX?
Is this all through telephone?

they will be changing the booking system so that ONLY owners at W57 can book there = members not owning W57 will not be able to exchange in any more. The reasoning? The owners there pay a premium (purchase price and MF wise) to own there, so it would be fair to those owners if only those who paid the price, gets to use the facilities.
I don't buy this. They are going to protect the owners' investment by forcing them to use it or lose it every year, depriving them of any ability to exchange at all? It sounds more to me like a salesman manufacturing urgency for you to buy in.

Clarification: this is meant to protect the NYC owners interests by not allowing non-NYC owners to exchange in. NYC owners can use it, borrow, bank, trade out, etc.
So basically (in the future) if one does not own an HGVC NYC deed, one will not be able to book HVGC NYC.
How can owners trade out without non-owners trading in?
That is an excellent point. That would create an imbalance in the system. Units outside NY would be used by more owners than the available units. Units in NY would sit empty because their owners traded out.
The only way this can work is separating NY properties completely form the rest of HVGV (similar to Starwood's St Regis fractional ownership - I know this is an extreme comparison that is not apples to apples). But, that would be a disservice to NY and non NY owners, IMO.

You were talking to a salesperson. They are lying. Period.
We have heard the same or similar lies tons of time here. Go ahead an believe them if you wish, but I would bet any amount that it is a flat-out lie.

Apparently, those who buy NYC don't trade out often due to the high purchase and MF costs, which kind of makes sense (lie or not).
I believe that completely. The lie is that exchanges won't be allowed.
Did you have to pay 5 reservation fees?Hmmm, we stayed at West 57th St for 5 nites over Memorial Day weekend this year, before heading to the Marriott Aruba Surf Club for a week. It wasn't too hard to get West 57th St, just had to book one day at a time after midnight, but I snatched it. Oh-yeah, great location.
