Opt-in Window for HGV Max

[HuskerATL]

It works

so you can book in HVC now?

 

[ksimm]

unless, you are Elite Premier where booking, saving, guest certs are already all free....plus other perks so each will need weigh their individual benefits.

Excellent point, I should have mentioned the Elite disclaimer. I know Max has some eliteish type perks as you go up in points, but I'm not sure how well they translate into real benefits, or if you'd get them if you're Elite now.

I think the benefits aren't as good when comparing elite level to the equivalent Tier level. The problem is that a person may not get all their points counted for the Tier so they may drop. We are EP but due to six resale Craig so those count as elite but not for Max Tiers. That would be my concern for anyone opting in and if they are elite with resale. On the other hand, in July at the sale update, they tried to get us to upgrade our Blvds to retail and told us that we would go from EP to Premier + but I didn't buy it and don't think they knew.

hmmm...I don't know if I even want Max--even if it's "free" and only $91 more a year. I was debating not paying HGVC this year and "opting out" of HGVC and just keeping SW FL affiliate and depositing with II on years I don't use it.
And, I'm fearful if I opt in today during glitch, that I'll get a $7,000 bill--any chance that could happen?

That is a good question. Surely, if you opt in and there is a $7k fee requirement, it would tell you. If not, and you do opt in, then get the bill, I would think that you could then opt out.

I would suspect they would just boot people out. If they are charging a fee, it needs to be disclosed as part of the flow and I would fully expect they would be collecting it up front.

Plus I would then point out that it is $7.000 not $7,000

yes

Have you checked your maintenance fee bill to see if they adjusted for the club dues?

yes they have not yet

 

[HuskerATL]

yes

Looks like you are in to me and just to clarify, you only have a vegas resale?

 

[Zenichiro]

Yes just a good ole platinum Paradise

 

[GT75]

I think that HGVC has finally adjusted the price of HGV Max closer to what it worth.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

@Zenichiro Did you buy your Paradise unit this year? If so, what month?

 

[Zenichiro]

@Zenichiro Did you buy your Paradise unit this year? If so, what month?

2020

 

[HuskerATL]

2020

you skated in for free on a 2020 resale....awesome...

I bought mine in 2003 and it's allowing me to "opt in" via the link in the email.

 

[elaine]

so, who has actually opted in today and been able to see/book MAX?

Yea I dont think I am alone. Its either everyone can do it if they have the link or some owners are coded incorrectly

That is even more awesome....a 20 year old resale....and in...

It kind of looks like whoever has the link can do it. I would be worried that I would lose more than I would gain due to our many resale and EP.

 

[HuskerATL]

Look at Zenichiro's earlier post where he can pull up the booking screen.

 

[ksimm]

I clicked and did the opt in this morning, but it isn't showing anything different. The confirmation screen said that it will take 1-2 days to show up and I would get a confirmation email in 2-3 weeks.

 

[Shmiddy]

We're headed to the Big Island next week, think I'll try the 'opt in' page and then see what I hear at the owner update. Will be interesting to see what they each say.

I'm with you. I'm EP w/ SW FL resales, and I'd be afraid that some or most of my points would not count toward Max levels, so my benefits would be severely cut. But I don't see any opt in notifications, so I guess I don't have to worry about it!
