Passed the 200-member mark today! Thanks to all for making the group a success. Took only 5 months to go from 100 to 200 vs. 23 months to get the first 100.

Hey guys, we are new timeshare owners here.

Hey guys, we are new timeshare owners here. I think we got hustled by the sales team. We are not resort goers but bought because we thought we'd get good value at holiday inn hotels elsewhere. After doing more and more research, it looks like this is not so much the case.

Does anyone have advice on how to make the most of this? It looks like I'll get chump change if I try to sell at this point. I'm feeling kinda overwhelmed right now.

Who owns at Desert Club?

Who owns at Desert Club? Anyone attend the annual meetings? I'd like to start attending. Is anyone aware of any discussions to use HICV points as the floating reservation system like South Beach and Smoky Mountain do? My understanding is that this could be voted on and approved by the owners. Seems like this would be relatively easy to pass given that it would dramatically increase resale value of Desert Club units.

Looking for a reservation with the following terms:

Dates: 2/19-2/23
Property: Las Vegas
Unit Size: 2BR
Points: 39.6K (free upgrade from 1BR Deluxe)
Point Shield: Y (free)

Your Cost: 39.6K x 5 + 59 = $257

Terms: 10% overhead for you, payment up front, total $283 via Paypal F&F

Refund Policy: All but the $65 ($59 + 10%) if canceled within 72 hours of arrival

I'll make the reservation in my name initially, but then I'll change to a guest a couple of weeks before.

Readjusting pricing structure for HICV points units - I am accumulating faster than I am selling, so I am going to adjust both buy/sell prices down.

Using a $5.5/1K maintenance unit as a reference:

Previous: Buying at $7.5/1K, Selling at $15/1K (both include closing)

This amounts to an average value of $11.25/1K (average of the above).

New (Excludes closing, which we'll call $300 on average, which includes resort transfer fee that some sellers like to leave out):

Average value: $7.5/1K, Buying at $6/1K (20% below) and Selling at $9/1K (20% above), plus $300 closing for each

Example for 100K unit at $5.5/1K maintenance (all with closing)

Selling: Old $1500 -> New $1200

Buying: Old $750 -> New $900

Updating pricing of all of my units later today.

Hello, I'm new to the community and in search of some advice.

Hello, I'm new to the community and in search of some advice. I bought a HICV timeshare in FL a couple years ago and my circumstances have changed considerably since purchasing the unit. I am no longer able to use the property and would like to unload it. Can anyone here give me some direction how I can go about selling/giving it back to Holiday Inn? I can't seem to find a good resource. Thanks!

I am an owner at with HICV. I would like to rent out a week at Myrtle Beach that we will not use next year (already booked), has anyone used Redweek to rent out? Do you recommend it? If so any tips on the best way to approach this transaction? Are there other websites setup for this? Thanks.
