Will My HGV Reservation Be Affected If I Sell the Property?

Hello~
I currently own several HGV properties, but I’m planning to sell a few of them.
I have a question that I’d really appreciate some clarification on.
I already have a Hawaii reservation for February 2026.
If I sell one of my HGV properties that was used for the points in this reservation, what will happen in the following cases?

1️⃣ If the ownership transfer is not completed by the end of February –
Will my existing reservation remain valid?
2️⃣ If the ownership transfer is completed before check-in –
Will my reservation be automatically canceled?

I’ve seen different answers about this situation, so I’d love to hear from anyone who has direct experience or solid information.
Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏
 
I'll give it a shot!

Is the reservation your Home Week for one of the properties you are selling? Home Week is the only time a reservation is tied to a particular contract. Otherwise, it's all just points.

1️⃣ If the ownership transfer is not completed by the end of February – Will my existing reservation remain valid? Sure, why not?

2️⃣ If the ownership transfer is completed before check-in – Will my reservation be automatically canceled? It won't be cancelled if you have sufficient points in your account to cover the reservation. If you are really uncertain about this, delay selling until after your Hawaii trip. Or, make the buyer's first use in 2027.
 
Just make it clear to the buyer that the first year of use is 2027. I would hate to buy a TS, be responsible for 2026 MF and then find out the points have already been used - unless that reservation was transferred into my name as part of the deal.

You should have sufficient points to transfer with the deed for the effective usage year. If the full allotment of points is not available, the MFs should be prorated to the allocation, if the buyer agrees to pay them.
 
I think a better question is what usage year are you trying to sell for these deeds? And then do you have enough 2026 and 2027 points to cover those deeds? When you sell an HGVC deed, HGVC will provide an estoppel. On the estoppel, it will list information about the deed which is being sold, such as assigned points, 2026 pts, and 2027 pts available to be transferred. In addition, we have answered in general terms because you only gave us general information. If you are more specific, we can be more specific in our answers. For example, I don't know if you have bHC deeds in the mix because those points are in a different bucket from HGVC deeds.

It’s a regular points reservation. I had a feeling that the points used for the booking might have come from the property I’m planning to sell, so I wanted to double-check. If the ownership transfer isn’t fully completed, the contract is still clearly mine, so the reservation should remain safe.

Yes, I assumed that would be the case, but I wanted to double-check just to be sure. Thanks again for your help!

Ah, I understand. I plan to list the deed with first usage starting in 2027. I also have more than enough remaining points for 2027. Thank you for the clarification!

If you view the reservation details it lists the points used. Since all points are lumped together when you have multiple contracts it shouldn't matter as long as you have enough left to cover the contract you are selling. The only consideration may be regular points vs bHC points.

When you have multiple deeds, Hilton treats the points like a slush bucket from the users perspective but I learned that internally they very much have a process that associates point usages to deeds. It would make sense that they certainly associate Home Week to deeds. They associate owner updates to specific deeds. They associate those cool 99$ Owner Packages where they give you 4 nights and Bonus Points just to do an owner update to specific units.
So from the front end, it is all just points but internally everything you do is tied to one or more deeds. I am aware of all of the above as when we gave back our Hilton Gold 5440, I encountered almost every scenario I mentioned after I no longer had that specific unit.

That 99$ Owner package realization came WAY later almost a year after I gave back the property... lucky I took their call to confirm my package plan, as we were headed to Disney, and lucky I asked to change the owner update 'day' ...... the associate said 'Oh you are on a HOLD' .. she then put me on hold for 10 minutes and then 10 more minutes and then finally they figured it out .... I no longer held the deed to the unit associated to the 99$ package.

Yes, that’s exactly why I asked the question — I felt the issues might be connected in that way. It must have been really frustrating for you. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
