Hi forum members

Hi forum members,

A member of my family has purchased a Holiday Inn Vacation Club Membership. They would like to cancel their contract the form receipt after going over they only discuss cancellation to be sent to the address of the company and once the email is sent it is considered cancelled, but that is all that is stated. I want to make sure everything is properly followed with the rescission so they can't refute the claim. If anyone could give any insight on the process or if they have gone through it themselves I would great appreciate the help.

Thanks

Hi,

My parents just upgraded to 1,000,000 points at Holiday Hills in Branson. Was that a good move? They went from 3 deeded weeks to the point system.

Has anyone noticed after the Silver Leaf acquisition that availability has gone way down and it is very difficult to...

Has anyone noticed after the Silver Leaf acquisition that availability has gone way down and it is very difficult to book next years weeks at Orange Lake.

I tried to pre-book a few River Island weeks for spring break and there was almost no availability. I booked those same units only 4 months ahead of time last year with no problems.

The Silver leave properties seam to be over valued in points compared to the quality level at Orange Lake. I am wondering if they will have to either raise the points value at the quality resorts or lower the points value at the less desirable properties. If not will they end up with an imbalance where some properties are impossible to get and others will end up unused.

I realize that HIVC has stated they will be upgrading the acquired properties but I am not sure if that will be enough to justify the points values at those resorts.

I added a link to HICV points for sale - currently this is only my units, but I will add other people's units who...

I added a link to HICV points for sale - currently this is only my units, but I will add other people's units who post. I will also include non-points resorts if you currently get points and are willing to transfer via a pair of quit claim deeds (one to add buyer, one to remove seller).

If someone else wants to maintain lists of non-points units for sale or for any kind of rentals, they are welcome to do so - just let me know.

If we wanted to upgrade our timeshare does anyone know how that works?

If we wanted to upgrade our timeshare does anyone know how that works? We own in Florida even years but would like to simply upgrade to get more points.

Is anyone aware of any HICV resorts with fixed week deeds that allow float bookings directly with resort (not through HICV points)? I own at Desert Club, and it is that way - I think Williamsburg and Silverleaf are that way, but can't say for sure. I'm not aware of any others. Anybody else have any experience with these two resorts or any others?

Lake Geneva and South Beach deeds have no week listed on the deed - my Smoky Mountain unit has a week and a season.

If anyone has a fixed week at any resort that was purchased through resale and only allows a fixed week booking, please let us know. I can confirm that Galveston fixed weeks do not float, and I assume Panama City (not Bay Point) is the same since it also came from Escapes.

Anybody have any history of annual changes in maintenance at any HICV resorts?

Anybody have any history of annual changes in maintenance at any HICV resorts? I don't have any precise info, but it seems to be about 2-3% per year in my experience.

Hi, Scott

Hi, Scott
My name is April Rivera. My husband and I purchased a timeshare in Florida -Holiday Inn Vacation Club for the Galveston location ( since we live close to this location). We are interested in selling and I feel like I am at a loss, not sure what is a scam and whats legit. You seem very knowledgeable and was hoping you could give us some advice. Thanks in advance for any information you could pass on.

HICV exercised ROFR on 105K South Beach 1BR.

HICV exercised ROFR on 105K South Beach 1BR...I got it for very cheap, but this was Legacy Adventures and it took them 5 months, so maybe they are hiding behind ROFR to back out of a transaction - let's see if they can supply a copy of the ROFR response from HICV.

This unit has $5.87/1K maintenance, so it's a pretty low end unit. It was actually higher than my average maintenance - I only bought it because it was cheap and I'll buy pretty much anything that's below the levels I've listed.

I have noticed that both the 1BR at Scottsdale and the 3BR at Cape Canaveral are never available for booking no matter what time of year even though they are listed in the member guide. Has anyone successfully booked one of these units? Are they no longer available at all? Are there other units that are never bookable?

Received my letter from HICV today with my refund for my purchase at the beginning of June.

Received my letter from HICV today with my refund for my purchase at the beginning of June. However they kept $50 of it for the welcome kit and "promotional materials". Oh well a small price to pay to get out of the Orange Lake Florida deal. Thank you for creating the forum Scott. You saved me from making a big, costly mistake.
