Hilton Grand Vacations Club - is it all that? (by John G.):
My husband I and were on vacation and were talked into buying a floating every other year week through Hilton Grand Vacations Club. We bought a resale timeshare at David Walleys about a year ago, and are still figuring out how to exchange it and use it to our advantage. Honestly the Hilton club does seem a lot better than what we have, but we aren't thrilled about paying the developer price when there are much better prices out there for our same unit. Our understanding is that if we buy a Hilton through resale, we don't get any points or get to use their points system. Has anyone ever bought a Hilton resale, and are the points really worth it? We were told that being part of the Hilton points system we would get better priority with exchanging and last minute deals. We have 5 days to still back out of our purchase and were wondering if it is worth the difference in the resale versus developer price? Any information about the Hilton would be appreciated. thanks, Christine
