What's New?
Some of the features from the current HGV Club program are available in HGV Max but change how they operate or are applied. There are also new features that you’ll have access to when joining HGV Max. See a sample of these features below and refer to your most current Club Rules here for more information.

Saved Points	Members can continue to save current-year ClubPoints into the following year, but now have an earlier opportunity starting in August to save Points for a reduced fee.
Larger Brand Resort Portfolio	Access to more properties in more destinations with our expanded resort portfolio.
HGV Max Booking Window	Make reservations across the expanded portfolio of resorts starting 6 months before check-out at most resorts.
Save on Hilton Stays	10% savings off the regularly published rates when making reservations online at 7,000 Hilton hotels and resorts (subject to availability) with the HGV Max Rate.
Inclusive Club Dues	Includes complimentary reservation transactions (online and phone) across the expanded portfolio of in-network properties. NOTE: For 2023, the Annual Dues for HGV Max are $291. If you’ve already paid your 2023 Club Dues and the amount you paid was less than $291, you will be responsible for the difference.

• Merchandise discounts at select HGV resorts

How Do I Enroll?
We hope you’re as excited about HGV Max as we are!

With Hilton Grand Vacations’ acquisition of Diamond Resorts, we have the opportunity to combine the best features and benefits from both Club programs with new enhancements to deliver more ways for Members to go on and enjoy their vacations.

There is no requirement to opt into HGV Max. You can continue to enjoy your ownership and HGV Club program as you do today.

If you want to opt-in or you would like to speak to someone to learn more, please select from one of the options below:

What this an email that you received from a purchase between January and April?

 

[Zenichiro]

Is the a $7,000 opt in fee?

 

[Talent312]

It's called puffery.
The problem is in what's behind the curtain.

Yes

No opt in fee for this one.

Agree. Anyone know what happens when you have some ownerships in HGV Max and others not?

 

[dayooper]

Is the a $7,000 opt in fee?

No, this is for those that bought from Jan 14 through April 4. They have the option of joining Max for free (it was the enticement to get them to buy before the program was announced). Because they were purchasing before it was announced, they were not automatically enrolled into Max. There is no option for the $7000 buy in yet.

 

[dayooper]

Agree. Anyone know what happens when you have some ownerships in HGV Max and others not?

Not sure that's an option. IIRC, it was said that you were either all of your deeds are Max or none of your deeds. That was said in the spring, so that might have changed.

 

[Sandy VDH]

Has anyone tried to opt in? what has happened if you did?

 

[Zenichiro]

Said it will let me know in 1-2 business days. May be a glitch

 

[Sandy VDH]

did you buy earlier this year? or just followed a link?

 

[Zenichiro]

No that’s why I said it’s a glitch most likely

I found this humorous. If you search $7,000 in the 2022 Hilton Grand Vacations Club Rules you will not find it. They actually put $7.000 which would be seven dollars

Can you provide the link for that document of at least where I can find it on HGVC website.


Never mind I finally found it.

It's likely a work product of some European origin because the comma and period protocols were switched; in "other" parts of the world 7.000,00 is seven thousand to two decimal places.

"When it comes to formatting numbers, the differences between the European and American systems don’t end with the decimal marker. There’s one more important difference: When writing large numbers (tens of thousands or more), in most European countries either a dot or a thin space is used to separate groups of three digits—counting from both the left and the right of the decimal separator.

For example, in Europe, we generally write three hundred thousand either as 300.000 (groups of three digits separated by a dot) or 300 000 (groups of three digits separated by a thin space). Some countries in Europe use other systems; in Switzerland, for example, an apostrophe is the thousands separator.

Whether a dot or a space is used differs by country, but in most European countries a comma is generally not used for this purpose. That would be confusing, because the comma is the most commonly used decimal separator in Europe."

This is what I really like about TUG... Discussions can go completely sideways.... But good info shared ..

The 2022 club rules appear to me to be a contract. If someone paid $7,000 and the contract shows $7.000 and 90+% of the contract is in American pricing I don’t think the European version you describe would hold up in court.
Especially when the seller is a timeshare company. Legal rights depend on something fairly tricky in the law: whether or not you have a ‘contract’.
Either way I found it comical.

I didn't realize you were taking it all to court...

 

[jabberwocky]

On TUG we have a habit of launching a lot of class action lawsuits…or at least threatening to.

Some people here love their courtrooms.

Does anyone know what an "Out of Network" reservation would be? There is a difference in the Max fee chart for "in network" and "out of network" reservations. I had initially assumed this was talking about external exchanges, but given there is a whole separate section on RCI, that's clearly not it. I see no other references in the whole club rules to "in network" vs "out of network" resorts.

I just noticed at the bottom of the latest Club Traveler Email that there's a link to "opt in" to HGV Max....since I bought via Scotland this year I clicked on it and submitted the form...we'll see what happens. It says it takes 1-2 business days.
