Yes and yes. We took full advantage. Not used to drinking like that. We also got invited to the owners lounge one evening and it was nice. And no parking or car although we burned up our Lyft Ep credits.When you stay in DC at the Hilton timeshare do you also get the free breakfast and happy hour that comes with embassy suites section? That might make up for the $70 a day parking
We haven't been asked since we went to Elara and Chicago in 2021. Chicago, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach and Orlando have all not offered a meeting with us since. We also haven't asked to attend one either. I would go if the offer was right but that offer is way out of their price range.
It’s resale. We went to ocean tower and kings land for 5 years and no tour offers. They stated that they can now offer it to resell owners. Depends on the resort. POP you have to unplug your phone.
Good to know it’s resale. Thought it’d be an interesting experience when I feel like I have time.
? Asking 200k or 250k...
Last time we weren't there that long so we just took the first offer. They said they couldn't offer more, heard that before
, and no feedback on anyone else getting more. Not sure what we will do. I think they would consider us PNG already as it's been almost a year. We are there three nights and then WA for four nights. Flights aren't working out on the return so we may have to extend a day or two. OS is available at La Pacifica, min 2 nights, at a good price. So we may do that and maybe ask for more points knowing we will be coming back. 
We did preso at LaPacifica 2 years ago for 150k. It was the opening offer and we took it because we were only there 2 nights - the next morning was the only time open on our schedule so we didn't have time to negotiate. I would be curious to see if anyone got more than 150k. I agree that now with WA at 250k we will demand more points for our time because of this devaluation. This also is a devaluation of to 16:1 and 32:1 honors.
We went ahead and booked HC La Pacifica two nights studio plus OS for a total of $365 or $182 per night (Elite Premier discount). This is a fantastic deal considering at Hilton.com it costs 238,000 HH points or $624 per night. To book it with HGVC points we would have had to do three night minimum and regular points with no discount. Maybe they'll let us do the OU twiceLast time we weren't there that long so we just took the first offer. They said they couldn't offer more, heard that before
That’s the regular price for points, so maybe you’re PNG in the eyes of Hilton Hotels
Typically I get a 100% Bonus offer, so you should be able to get 320,000 points for $1600 or $.005 per point.
| Points | 240,000 |
| 100% bonus | 240,000 |
| Total points | 480,000 |
| Subtotal | $2,400.00 USD |

OU's are 60 minutes. We set a timer right when we walk-in. We usually spend less time than 60 mins once they look into our account. That's 60 mins unless I ask questions and then the DW clobbers my shins under the table. I've learned to not just chat and to ask any specific questions right up front and get them out of the way. In fact, at the District, the rep just straight up asked if we had questions. I had two. He answered them and then sent us on our way. 15 mins for that appointment.
Wow! You are an excellent negotor.
