I am new to HGVC and called Hilton to inquire about the SFX exchange -- I was told that only Elite HGVC owners are allowed to use this exchange and even then the elites are limited exchange to only 2 or 3 of the resorts in SFX.
Reason for my interest in SFX is that Hilton does not have resort in Maui and RCI in Maui not all that great. SFX has the Marriott and Westin in Maui which look really nice and was extremely disappointed that the SFX exchange was off limits to non-elite HGVC members.
I don't understand why hilton uses RCI while II has Disney, Hyatt, some Four Seasons, and some Hilton affiliates....by far II offers much nicer resorts than RCI especially in the Reno/ski areas.
