I inquired about converting a property I was going to buy of of eBay this week and I was told that new policy is you need to buy the same number of points from developer to transfer in a unit. In the past I paid much less then that to convert. They told me if my unit was worth 110,000 points I would need to pay 21,000 to convert. Have you heard that yet?

I have a Silver Leaf even year timeshare.

I have a Silver Leaf even year timeshare. I have two weeks and unlimited free stays Sundays-Thursdays with Saturdays & Sundays costing $50 each a night.
I have been receiving calls for almost a year from SL to come to sales and update presentation about HICV's acquisition.
My inquiry is how much do I have to spend to transfer my SL to HICV? The point system sounds awesome - especially if you can use them on hotels - is that the case? I travel for work and stay at HIE often - will those points combine with HICV?

How do biennial units count towards rental point limits?

How do biennial units count towards rental point limits?

Based on what I can see, you can rent points equal to the sum of annual + odd + even units. For example, I have a 150K odd unit and a 150K even unit - those two units allow me to rent 300K points every year as an Elite member.

Does everyone else see rental point limits the same?

My husband and I purchased a time share in Orange Lake back in 2014.

My husband and I purchased a time share in Orange Lake back in 2014. He has since lost his job and my financial situation took a major hit. I was paying the mortgage faithfully and on time every month, but in the full scheme of things, I can no longer afford this. I am willing to sell this and even take a loss if necessary. I have a couple of questions -

I owe maintenance and want to sell points to pay for this - is this possible?
How easy is it to sell this? I really need to get from up under it and am willing to let it go into foreclosure.

Hello everyone

Hello everyone

I just purchased a holiday inn club vacation package from Cape Canaveral 2 bedroom villa pool view every other year for 12000. I knew that I have 10 days to change my mind and the information that I have been reading is overwhelming. I am leaning towards rescinding however I have a few questions if anyone can help me out. One it sounds like my salesperson got me on false information. She told me there were friends and family rates and also a cash purchase option if I didn't want to use my points. She said the discount are huge per week and actually she sales the cash purchase option for a profit. I have not seen anyone mentioned this on the internet at all and it seem like it would be something talked about a lot as a benefit. Has anyone every heard or uses the cash purchase option? If is the discounts as good as she says under 300 for a week?

Also she told me my 100000 points would get me 4 weeks every other year after reviewing the points to stay in other holiday inn clubs that seems nearly impossible! Now I'm questioning everything that I was told on tour. By the way I completed my tour at Orange Lake on a promotion.

My second question is if I were to rescind and purchase resale am I still able to use points and the benefits of HICV? Such as the cash option(if that's true), discounts at hotels and etc.

If I do decide to go with a resale how do you make sure it's legitimate and not in jeopardy of being foreclosed.

Any other helpful additional information will also be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone on here use their points to trade into rci?

Does anyone on here use their points to trade into rci? I would like to know what the total fees are to do this (on rci side and on hicv side) and if it actually makes financial sense at times.

I'm thinking about purchasing some HICV points on the resale market and wanted to hear from some other people that have done this and how their experience has been. Particularly people that haven't purchased from HICV directly since I do not plan to. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

We're at Cape Canaveral Beach resort currently and they have cleared the area for the planned Signature Resort buildings. The ETA on completion is about one year from now. We declined to do the owners update meeting, so I'm​ curious to know whether anyone has gotten any additional info on the new Signature Resort buildings.
Updated points chart with quantity of weeks of each season and annual points value of each unit

I see a two bedroom at Desert Club. I am told the MF are $1126. Does that mean it is a signature club unit? If I take the deeded week would that indicate the float season?

Anyone know where I log in to use my Silverleaf bonus time? I used to be able to still log in on silverleafresorts.com but today it looks down. Not sure if its just today or if they finally moved it to Holiday site.
