I am buying two 87,500 hicv point units (7000x2 marcus) at Lake Geneva on reale. Will these points be able to be used at any HICV property or only at Lake Geneva? I own no other points or weeks with HICV and am not a HICV member. Thanks for any answers. Hard to get real answers from HICV.

"To convert these deeds to points will require a purchase through the resort.

"To convert these deeds to points will require a purchase through the resort...The Developers retail pricing is in excess of $160,000 but these are selling for $29,000 or best offer."

The listing fails to mention that the purchase through the resort to convert to points will be over $200K :)

Here's my experience on closing my own timeshares -

50% Payment
HICV Right of First Refusal (ROFR) Review: 15-45 days
Deed Recording: 10-20 days
50% Payment
HICV Transfer: 10-20 days
HICV New Account Creation: 10-20 days

For a new account, the total timeframe is 6-14 weeks - most sellers will tell you 3-6 months because they are slow and/or don't know what they are doing :)

Contact me if you are looking for HICV points units - the list I maintain has quite a bit of updates including new units, 2018 maintenance updates, and new market value structure that takes increases in maintenance fees into account

I recently helped my dad setup his HICV account - here's the process:

After the unit is gone from the previous owner's account, have the new owner call HICV Deeding at 407-239-5170 and given them the previous owner's contract number - they will verify identity and give you the new owner's HICV ID, which you can enter online to setup a new account. When he first tried the online setup, it wasn't working, but a couple of days later it worked. I'd estimate 1-2 weeks from transferring out of the old account to being able to make online account - not sure how quickly you can call HICV and get the new owner account number, but if you start checking regularly in these timeframes, you should be able to get it setup before you get HICV letter in the mail.

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.

Acquiring extra HICV points all from HICV to get status has a best case cost of about 14 cents/ extra point (+$1000 closing) with a minimum of around $12.2K for 80K points - the problem is that if you needed twice that many points, the price is almost twice as much. Resale purchase followed by a small HICV purchase are more like 1 cent/point (+$11000 closing/HICV small purchase) at the high end.

Maintenance. availability, and disposing of existing units are other considerations - purchasing all from HICV, $4/1K maintenance is possible, there is immediate availability, and you can get rid of high maintenance units. The resale path can achieve similar maintenance but it will likely take a while to locate them (say 50K points/month) - $5.5/1K maintenance units are widely available. The resale path does not dispose of existing units, so you'd have to give them away and purchase more resale points at 1 cent/point.

Elite members should be renting from HICV the maximum number of points that HICV will let them rent every year at $5/1K points.

An Elite member with 1M points, should be renting 1M points from HICV for $5000 every year - if they are not, then they are leaving money on the table because wholesale market value of those 1M points in bulk is $5600 by my estimates and the retail value is even higher.

Message me via Hangouts if you want me to help you get the maximum value out of your Elite status!

Hello Scott, I am possibly interested in purchasing some of your points.

Hello Scott, I am possibly interested in purchasing some of your points. Just went thru the pitch at hicv orange lake. Amazing how they try to get you to drop large amounts of cash but keep the information as to how everything works so obfuscated. I have a very specific strategy that I am wanting to implement and if it will work, I am very interested. When can we chat?

Any Elite members out there looking to rent points at a negotiable markup above HICV rental price of $5?

Any Elite members out there looking to rent points at a negotiable markup above HICV rental price of $5? I'm looking to buy them in 100K chunks, prepaid and then you would make reservations for me (with free upgrades when available) when requested (after I've already checked availability) and I'd pay the $59 fee.

For example, at a 12% markup, I'd pay $560 for 100K points - if your cost of points is less and you don't regularly use them all, then you'd make more.

Message me on Hangouts if you are interested.

looking to buy a timeshare that is around 100k in points or less.

looking to buy a timeshare that is around 100k in points or less. Looking for decently low maintenance fees. Went to the presentation at the location in Las Vegas and would definitely use the points. Just would prefer to take one off of someones hands who don't want to deal with it any more. Just post on this discussion with any offers/ ideas. Thanks!

I wanted to follow-up on a previous post of mine earlier in the year. At the end of April, 2016, I purchased a resale silverleaf ambassador unit week 8 at Holiday Hills Resort for $100. In June, 2016 when it got deeded to me it was turned into points 125,000 on HICV side with bonus time on the silverleaf side. The maintenance fees for 2017 are $63.55 up from $61.11 in 2016. The clear benefit I know have access to all 26 resorts. I am no longer a step child. I also have two high red presidential units on the silverleaf side maintenance fees in 2017 are $154.36 up from $148.42 in 2016.
