Opt-in Window for HGV Max

After a discussion with DH, we opted in. We shall see.

Same - we went ahead and clicked. All resale for us as well.
 
We are all resale, Kingsland and W 57th, so do not have any elite status. If we did, there would have been more pros and cons to weigh.

We also own a deeded week at P@P, purchased last spring, resale of course.
 
I picked the opt in option and got a call from Hilton saying you selected more Info. I said NO just opted it.

But I am not seeing what other posted saw. I am still just getting regular HGVC options.

Did you Opt in yesterday? Are you logging in on the app or web portal?

Mine still just shows HGV Club Member on the app and no Max when logged into the web portal.

I stated earlier that I had a call from HGV to talk about Max, but it was in reference to a VIP package that I bought earlier this year. Their confirmation email also referenced the lead # from that package so I'm assuming it was a coincidence, but a weirdly timed one..

okay, reason I sak is I couldnt see Max on the App but noticed it first on the website. Now I see access on both

I opted in late last night, and still can't see it in either place.
 
All Resale / No Elite
Opted In...kind of scared now because I really don't want a bill for $7,000....$7 I can probably swing. LOL
Are there any other downsides to Max? Will I still be able to book at HGVC Club Properties 9 Months Out?
No change in portal yet. I will post again if anything changes.
 
This person on Facebook posted some interesting things.

"If it sounds too good to be true..."

It is amusing to see how much confidence is exhibited in the "7.000 is only $7" lore; when has three decimal places ever been used regarding dollars and cents? Some however, already have lawyers on retainer.

This is hardly an objective forum regarding this issue. Most everyone on the Hilton side here does nothing but bemoan the DRI acquisition and badmouth Max, and an equal amount of disdain is found among the Diamond cohort? Amidst this historic stock market downturn, some conjecture here has actually suggested $HLT "shareholders" are not happy about the DRI purchase and Max? Seriously?

The single most common POV among these threads appears to be a complete rejection of anything remotely resembling change, and requiring payment of some kind to access. On the other hand, "If I can get for (next to) nothing I'll opt in." It likely costs at least $70 per account internally on the corporate side to simply implement the change-over to the new Max platform.

I'm sure to get some blowback on this, so be it, but the direction of some of these threads is just dizzying.

I can see your point, to a degree. I don't think people hate Max, it is just that the cost vs benefit isn't there. $7,000 or buy more from HGV for 6 months access just isn't worth it. However $0 for 6 months access with nothing to lose is. HGV may catch on to this and put a stop to opt ins that aren't eligible. They may boot out those that opted in but technically shouldn't have, but I doubt anyone will get a bill for $7,000 or even $7.

I see them, but I am not sure what is new or different in them that hasn't already been reported here in the myriad of threads.

I opted in the evening yesterday. Received a call from HGVC around noon today. But I was playing flippers, so my wife answered, they said something about "you requested that we contact you", my wife said "you already called us two days ago", he said "oh, I have a file that I should call you but if all questions are answered, then thank you". She didn't know about HGV Max opt-in so she assumed it's about a $110 vacation package we got from HGVC a week ago, and which they called about 2 days ago. It's more likely it's about the vacation package because they called me 2 days ago, asked me to pick the date, to which I told them I would do it when I'm ready to do that, and thank you, and she kept talking but I hung up. Maybe they marked the call as "incomplete" and they called again ;) But we've yet to see if they process my Max opt-in (all resales, plus one HGVC UK purchased directly from them in Feb/Mar).

Looks like the glitch has been fixed. 2 people have reported back that instead of being enrolled, they had someone call them for info.

Yeah, but one person confirmed that the call was about a package and the other could also be about a package. I think people are still able to opt in through the glitch.
 
I opted in yesterday and got the call today about discussing opt-in. The rep looked at my account and said that only people who bought between Jan and April of this year are eligible to enroll and said it might have been a glitch. He then went on about buying a new deed to get into Max. I told him that I was not interested.

Data point:

Saw this post last night. Did it around 8:00 PM PDT and around 3:00 PM PDT today my HGVC app was updated. I had checked around noon and it wasn't.

My membership card in the app now says:

"Member BHC Legacy"

I did get a call today from HGVC but it was the Vegas 702 area code and as I have an upcoming stay with them so not surprised.

I'll take Max for $7.000(infinity). All of the Diamond resorts now show up for me in the app as well but the first two I see are Bell Rock and Kohls ranch and the pictures aren't that enticing. Truthfully, not many of them look HGVC quality.

All of my deeds are resale. Wouldn't be sad if I lost it or they took it back.
