WooHoo! Platinum at $1.40/pt!

I just got the welcome letter in the mail, and have called in to get the new account registered.

I was hoping that the new 7000 points would go into my existing account. But I was informed by the HGVC rep that affiliates and Hilton-owned properties cannot co-exist in the same account. So I now have two account numbers.

My deed recorded on 8/28, but it took a while to get the recorded deed back from the county. The closing company sent the letter to HGVC with a copy of the recorded deed on 9/10. I got the welcome letter from HGVC yesterday, 10/2.

That is true.. however.. you only have to pay one fee.. and they will transfer your points from one account to the other, as long as the names are exactly the same on both deeds.

It pays to check up!

Last Friday, I decided to make some phone calls. What I found out from Mary Cruz (her first name) in the transfers department at HGVC was that the sellers of my timeshare (who own more than 1 unit) sent the wrong legal description to them for processing (it was for a unit they already sold), so they sent it back to the title company for correction. I called the title company. They have to record a correction deed. I asked them if it was going to be six more weeks and they said no, it should be this week sometime. They think HGVC will complete the transfer once the sellers sign the corrected deed and they fax it to them (before it's recorded). I hope so too! I will probably call HGVC back and tell them that if the deed doesn't record, they can always cancel my reservation. I'm traveling in January and I don't really want to continue to risk that the resort I want will be full. I have 7 others depending on me for their reservations (two two bedrooms).

Is Flamingo considered an affiliate resort? Both deeds for the strip and Flamingo read the same....just wondering if I'll have two separate accounts as well (doesn't sound like a big deal if so but I'm curious).

Flamingo is an HGVC-owned resort. You should be fine.

Glad you're getting your purchase straightened out, Karen.
