Question For HGVC Elite Members

[seagila]

When you book a reservation for a guest under your HGVC Elite account, does your guest enjoy your tiered perks as an elite HGVC owner?

e.g. Can the guest use the Elite check-in line? Does the guest receive the elite wristband/key? Does your guest receive the Lyft allowance, if you're Elite Premiere? Would the guest potentially get upgraded accommodations?

I never reserve studio, but recently reserved on for a friend in October, just receive hgv email that was upgraded to one bedroom.

I believe so, as long as it is booked under the Elite Premier’s account AND the guest was added/registered during reservation or even added later to that existing reservation. Except for the $250 annual Lyft credit, I would answer yes to all your questions if that guest is registered under that reservation. Reason is because the annual Lyft pass has to be linked to the Premier’s Lyft account. The only way I can see getting around this is if you allow your guest to log on to your Lyft account (I am not suggesting you do or don’t) and use from the airport to the HGVC property and/or vice versa. Take note that the Lyft pass only works to/from the airport and a HGVC location as the app detects those locations automatically and allows you to pay it out of the $250 Lyft Pass.

Your guests should receive perks. My guess was you could schedule the Lyft from you account, and let your guest know the car info and ride as you.
Since the first party to arrive has to be the guest of record to check in, a guest’s name doesn’t mean you’re not arriving.
I’m wondering whether I can schedule multiple pickups when I have multiple rooms booked.

I was just reviewing the Elite perks on the website and there is no longer any mention of limo pick up/drop off or even $250 Lyft credit. Of course the one perk I was looking for would disappear as soon as I became a Elite Premier. Once again, they giveth and taketh away.

Sure it is, right here:

Hilton Grand Vacations - Lyft Pass Benefit For Elite Premier

Maybe your account needs to be Elite Premier to see that page?

On the HGVC app, in the Club Membership tab and “Explore perks of Elite”, it was always listed as an “offer” with the check mark by Elite Premier but not Elite or Elite Plus. It is now no longer listed. It may be an oversight on the app only, but that section of the site is fairly aspirational, trying to lay out all the goodies that await you at the 3 different tiers. You would think they would list every single benefit, no matter how small. Again, may be an oversight. I use the app 95% of the time and rarely use the desktop version.

ADDENDUM - yes, I found it on one of the “offer”pages on the main website. Still not listed as an item on the thorough rundown of the elite perks. For what it’s worth the sales guy told me that people have been complaining about the Lyft credit and supposedly it will go back to limo/black car after Covid settles down.

That would be good, IMO. We only got to experience the limo ride once since becoming Elite Premier before it was shutdown, but it was a really nice perk! There is nothing like having a driver waiting for you at the airport to whisk you away to start your vacation. Made you really feel special.
