has anyone ever gotten a good deal exchanging your HGVC points for the miscellaneous uses
example hilton says use your points with cruise lines, i go to see whats offered and by the time you go to make an exchange and pay the fees etc it seems you do not get value for points, it seems you could just about get the same prices on the cruises by booking through a large travel agency, very little benefit in the exchange
another is the all inclusives by the time you commit your points to an all inclusive and then look at the mandated all inclusive charges there is very little benefit to use HGVC points
another is the rci and resort exchanges , you move your points over to rci pay the additional charges for the week in rci and any other fees rci charges at the resort , in addition to the added charges HGVC places, you get very little benfit for the use of points, in most cases i have found you are better of with a airbnb of vrbo
even the use of exchanging your HGVC points to hilton honors, my example 2 seperate time shares approximately 25,000 HGVC points converts to 400,000 hilton honors points ,,,this does not get you much in trade, some of the really nice hotels cost upwards of 70-80,000 night so your $3400-$3500 costs associated with annual costs in HGVC does not get you much
has anyone ever gotten a deal on any of these topics
