Is there a known reliable method of calculating what maintenance fees would be for converting Silverleaf units?

Is there a known reliable method of calculating what maintenance fees would be for converting Silverleaf units? I know how the check what point values are assigned to each, but can't make sense of the maintenance fee conversion.

Has anyone recently bought HICV points on resale, and tried transferring them into IHG rewards points?

Has anyone recently bought HICV points on resale, and tried transferring them into IHG rewards points?

I know from experience from the points that I bought retail, I have been able to transfer HICV points to IHG rewards club points at a 5:4 ratio and nominal fee.

I am currently in the process of buying HICV points on resale and the seller/broker told me that I would not be able to transfer them to IHG rewards. Has anyone heard of this. I thought you would be able to transfer them, as the points would be banked/mixed in with my other points (bought retails, go figure). I would like to know how this would be policed. Does anyone know if this is true? Is it written anywhere?

Any and all comments welcomed!!!

Scott Kotrla, I am in the process of buying 150,000 points at South Beach (Myrtle Beach) on the resale market.

Scott Kotrla, I am in the process of buying 150,000 points at South Beach (Myrtle Beach) on the resale market. I currently own 321,000 point and 80,000 annual points which I purchased through retail which makes me a preferred member. Is there a way to get the 150,000 point I am purchasing on resale to count towards my member status? Is there someone I should contact?

I have seen some people post in this community to call OL directly, but who do I call at OL?

If I have to purchase retail from HICV, how much do I have to purchase to have my 150,000 point at South Beach to be included into my status?

I would love any and all advice. thanks!

So I'm wondering what happens now when you try to buy a HICV unit and you have resale units in your account?

So I'm wondering what happens now when you try to buy a HICV unit and you have resale units in your account? For example, if you try to buy a biennial unit to complement your existing biennial unit?

1) HICV won't sell you the biennial unit because the purchase is not large enough to convert the resale units in your account.

2) The resale weeks automatically show up in the HICV contract for the biennial, but HICV won't convert them and/or give status for them. You would have to fight with HICV to either convert the units as stated in the contract or refund your money.

3) The resale weeks don't show up in the HICV contract for the biennial.

4) The resale weeks automatically show up in the HICV contract for the biennial, and HICV converts them and gives status for them.

In my only HICV purchase, all units I owned showed up as points and total status level was based on all units.

I have unit # 86336 @ Orange Lake, week 49, 2 bedroom on even years, 100,000 points. Bought back in 2013. Looking to get out of it totally.
