Q: What are the different ways in which owners can use Club Points?

A: The Club Points system was designed to be very flexible and easy to use. Owners have the option to use their Club Points in the unit size, season and home resort purchased. Other options include reserving multiple less-than-one-week stays at any Club resort, booking differing size units, or reserving within a different season. Owners also have the ability to borrow points from following years at no charge or deposit points into the next year for a $69 fee. Exchanges into RCI, Interval International, or SFX are also always available.

Q: How far in advance can HGVClub reservations be made?

A: Reservations are booked easily through the HGVClub services desk. If an owner is booking exactly what they own (a one-week reservation at their home resort in their season and unit size), reservations can be made one year prior to the start of their season, but no earlier than 15 days prior to the check-in date.

The booking window for reservations for any size unit or check-in date within the owned season is 9 months prior to the check-in date and a $49 fee applies.

The HGVClub also offers an Open Season reservations period which deals with last minute inventory. These reservations can be booked 30 days in advance of check-in and a $49 fee applies.

Q: When do Club Points expire?

A: Unused Club Points expire at the end of each calendar year. In order to avoid losing expiring points, members have the option to convert into Hilton Honors points, deposit into the next year, or use the Club Points for exchanges.

Q: What is the Hilton Honors program?

A: The HGVClub membership also comes with membership in Hilton Honors program which gives owners the option to convert their annual Club Points to HHonors points for a $69 fee. The Hilton Honors points can be used towards hotel stays and frequent flyer miles at partner airlines.

Q: What is the difference between HGVC developed resorts and HGVC affiliated resorts?

A: Within the Hilton Grand Vacations Club there is a distinction between HGVC developed resorts and HGVC affiliated resorts. All owners of HGVC developed resorts receive a certain allotment of Club Points each year based on the size of the unit and season in which they own at the home resort. Owners at HGVC built resorts are automatically members of the Club and cannot choose to “withdraw” from the Club. Most HGVC developed and built resorts are floating use timeshares whereas many affiliated resorts have fixed week usage. Furthermore, not all affiliate resorts allow Club membership rights to transfer on the resale market.
