We were told that HVC is offering essentially unlimited Owners Updates even if we just went on one the day/week before. So my wife and I came up with the crazy idea that we could leverage this into a million HH points in 2025 alone (100k points x 10 updates). So we have set this as a goal even though we thought we were done with sales presentations ... we have always been good at saying NO and getting out of there. And we try to learn or relearn at least one tidbit each time we go. Yes I know it sounds painful but I think we are going for it. And they keep pushing owner updates practically begging us. Any and all comments welcome as we have thick skin. We are just going to have fun with this ... and always reserve the right to change our minds if it becomes too painful.
Owners Update 1: January 2025 - we are at Elara right now and received 100k points and a 3 day two night vacation stay at a Hilton. They did offer 110k HH points if we didn't want the two free nights but we could use the two nights in Scottsdale. All if we attended an Owners Update of 60 minute minimum. We just completed the update and have already logged the HH points. Ended up being 90 minutes as I did have some questions on Embarc. Their bad IT once again shows that they have no clue what we own or how we got Elite status with our minimal purchase at Marbrisa a decade+ ago while depositing our many GPR resorts in as HGVC points for Elite. Their offer was, in general, they could upgrade our deeded EOY Marbrisa Studio to Annual and include Max for $10k. No thanks. Salesperson was nice and personable. The closer offered the usual freeze this offer program of 11,627 HGVC promo points(if I remember correctly) for $1,795 less $100 if we paid in full. After we refused he tacked on another 130k HH points if we did the freeze. We said NO ... as this would ruin our plan to get to 1 million HH points. Anyway this closer guy was a &%$@* or as my wife put it "he was condescending, arrogant, aggressive, offensive and generally unpleasant marketing guy who followed an informative, thoughtful and respectful conversation with our salesperson. I don't think we will file a complaint ... it might ruin our plan. Oh well ... I smiled and thanked them all with LOVE .... Next stop Cabo.
