I can log into HICV, but if I click any link I get an Error 500.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Last time I had this issue, when they fixed it, I gained status - makes me wonder if someone tried to take status away and it broke again.

Not sure if it's allowed here or if anyone is interested.  Is anyone interested in sharing the HOA passwords? 

I have quite a few and would be willing to share if anyone is interested.

Gives you nice insight into recent updates, unit renovations and meeting notes.

Ok, My fees have posted for 2016.

Ok, My fees have posted for 2016.  I have 272,000 for 1706.  That's $6.3 per 1000 points.  I'm wondering how this compares and how much of an increase it is over last year?

Also, I noticed that rented points available are based on next year's points just like points available for...

Also, I noticed that rented points available are based on next year's points just like points available for borrowing (in the case of Prestige, 90%) - I would have expected it to be based on this year's points.  Maybe everything is based on points for the following year, and that's why I have status in Even years for Odd units.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I still have status, even though I've never purchased a unit directly from HICV.  Does anybody else who has only purchased units at points resorts and has 300K points or more have status, or am I just lucky?

In fact, another unit was added to my account this week, making my total 614K Annual and 150K Odd - based on odd/even counting at 50%, I thought I would still be Premier, but I am now showing up as Prestige!  And this is an Even year!  This suggest that odd/even might count fully towards status and not just 50%...

Also, my upgrades/free stay did not reset at the end of the year like I thought they might - anyone know exactly what the timeframe for earning and using these benefits is?

Finally, I made an offer earlier in the year to be a market maker for HICV points units with maintenance under $6/1K points.

I'm updating that to be buying for $5-$10/1K and selling for $10-$20/1K based on maintenance costs - lower end is for $6/1K maintenance and higher is for $4/1K maintenance.

Here's an example - 131K annual Gatlinburg unit has $720 annual maintenance, which is $5.50/1K.  I will pay $819 (including closing) for another such unit and/or sell my current one for $1638 (including closing costs).

I was wondering if anyone has paid to roll points from their HICV account into IHG.

I was wondering if anyone has paid to roll points from their HICV account into IHG. I remember that is a "benefit", that there is a cost, and that at the time I didn't think it was a great option. I also remember it's 5 HICV:4 IHG. What does it cost though? It's very disappointing that the actual fee isn't in their member guide or on the website.

Any help would be appreciated.

My status on the website is showing up as Premier now - we'll see how long it lasts this time.

My status on the website is showing up as Premier now - we'll see how long it lasts this time.  I am thinking I should book free stay and upgrades quickly before I lose them...are the upgrades and stays per calendar year based on time of booking?

I was not able to check availability or book online (kept getting errors), so I called and asked HICV to look into it.  Everything is working again and now status is showing up - maybe the two were related?

If anyone would like to purchase rentals (2 days+) let me know.  HICV allows me to put the reservation in your name.
