A couple of points units were added to the account over the weekend - we now have Elite status! It seems like HICV changed the way they calculate - Odd and Even units both seem to be counting fully towards status (before it seemed like only odd units were counting this year). Previously, our points available for rent equaled Annual + Odd and now it equals Annual + Odd + Even. Has anyone else noticed a change in status? With only Annual + Odd, we would still be Prestige, so this change is definitely a good thing!

Also, I noticed that all existing reservations had PointShield applied retroactively! Nice benefit, since I'm a cheapskate and don't normally pay the extra $35...

Stayed at the new HICV Scottsdale last week.

Stayed at the new HICV Scottsdale last week.  We had a three bedroom unit.  Very nice.  The facility is still not running at 100%.  Three of four pools are open, and the restaurant is still closed. The staff was somewhat invisible.  Not much in the way of activities on site, however its a great location and close to a lot.  We spent several days hiking, ate at some great restaurants.  Cooked several meals in the well equipped kitchen.  I can definitely recommend this location.  I did not look into the cost of buying additional points.

Has anyone here considered purchasing at a Silverleaf resort on the resale market before it gets rebranded to HICV?

Has anyone here considered purchasing at a Silverleaf resort on the resale market before it gets rebranded to HICV?  Use that method to get more points without the developer conversion cost.  I thought that might be useful, but of course you don't know how the weeks will be valued, so it would be difficult to know you are getting a good Maint$/1k point value.
