I bought a bluegreen timeshare presentation offer for $250 and had a choice of $250 back or 50k choice pts. If I wait till after the acquisition is finalized will I be able to get Hilton points?
Bluegreen used to have a nice tie-up with Choice where you could redeem a modest number of Choice points for a Bluegreen resort. But that relationship has frayed in recent years. I think I’ve still seen their properties listed on the Choice website, but I haven’t seen any avaiablilty. I assume this is the death knell for that already deceased relationship.
I stayed at a Bluegreen in Chicago recently. The Hotel Blake. I used Choice points and found the property and the rate to be pretty good. Hate to lose this for Choice hotels. I only paid 15k choice points for the night.
I have an every-other-year contract with Hilton Grand Vacation Club in Las Vegas, purchased resale. The company has tried to get everyone to buy more retail points to opt into MAX, after their Diamond Resorts International acquisition. Often costing $16K, you get a 5 month booking window into Diamond. Those who’ve done this find nothing but the scraps, as all good locations are reserved up by Diamond owners.. I’m guessing they’ll pull this same stunt with Bluegreen.
HGV acquired Diamond Resorts last year. Who’ll buy Capital Vacations?
Man, that’s a lot of CC spend and would meet so many SUBs.
Still a little shy of a Centurion card invite.
Hilton Grand Vacations is not Hilton.
It’s a former private equity owned separate entity and has almost no association with Hilton outside of name/promotion licensing.
And their properties being listed on the Hilton website to book as hotel rooms…
But if you sit thru the sales pitch, you still come out (for a vacation) ahead than point stacking right? Those 2D/3N for $199 is good value barring sales pitch
It depends if you can actually book for the place and dates you want. I have had a hell of a time finding ANY open dates for the vacation package that I purchased last year. Also be aware that if you book certain locations at a “premium” time of year, they’ll add on a surcharge for the premium dates. These packages can be great deals, but you’ve really got to be careful with what you’re doing. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t read the fine print more closely.
