Happy New Year!
I still have status, even though I've never purchased a unit directly from HICV. Does anybody else who has only purchased units at points resorts and has 300K points or more have status, or am I just lucky?
In fact, another unit was added to my account this week, making my total 614K Annual and 150K Odd - based on odd/even counting at 50%, I thought I would still be Premier, but I am now showing up as Prestige! And this is an Even year! This suggest that odd/even might count fully towards status and not just 50%...
Also, my upgrades/free stay did not reset at the end of the year like I thought they might - anyone know exactly what the timeframe for earning and using these benefits is?
Finally, I made an offer earlier in the year to be a market maker for HICV points units with maintenance under $6/1K points.
I'm updating that to be buying for $5-$10/1K and selling for $10-$20/1K based on maintenance costs - lower end is for $6/1K maintenance and higher is for $4/1K maintenance.
Here's an example - 131K annual Gatlinburg unit has $720 annual maintenance, which is $5.50/1K. I will pay $819 (including closing) for another such unit and/or sell my current one for $1638 (including closing costs).

You could have resold your free stay. Next time let me know and I can help facilitate that.
ReplyDeleteYou only see the free stay button if your looking at a stay 60 or less days out. You should see that you have the free stay near the top in either case.
ReplyDeleteI'll use it this Summer - I would have tried harder if I had known it expired 12/31. I got it in November and there was already no Thanksgiving or Christmas availability.
