Good morning Tuggers!

Are gold points red or white in RCI? Specifically gold Las Vegas Paradise points.

Thank you in advance for for time! I truly appreciate having found this group!

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
Hilton points are just points when trading through RCI. It doesn't matter what season you are trading into through RCI just that you have enough points.

You trade Hilton through their own portal. You can get any one bedroom any season for 3400 points in RCI. There are supposedly some highly undesirable weeks that will trade for less than that, but I've never seen them.

You don't get discounted point stays when trading through HGVC at the last minute. You do with any other timeshare.

When you enter RCI-land thru the HGVC portal, you'll have access to Last Call.
The system tells you how many points (or cash for last-call) a booking requires.

You can trade into DVC, but prolly not for the exact dates + place you want.
IOW, search "Disney" without specifying dates, and a few stays will turn up.
On-going searches can help. Flexibility is the key to any high-demand place.

So we do not have access to RCI getaways?

If you are asking about the higher priced rentals, like getaways on II, we cannot see them online. You can to call Hilton to find out what is available and purchase it over the phone.
