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.

Anyone else transfer their points to IHG Rewards Club?

Anyone else transfer their points to IHG Rewards Club? I did, and was very disapointed to see they did not count toward elite status. In the past they did.

Scott, We bought two separate times at HICV in the past two years and are purchasing at two separate resorts.

Scott, We bought two separate times at HICV in the past two years and are purchasing at two separate resorts. I am so totally lost about how the whole thing works and can't seem to get straight answers from HICV. My husband has been injured on the job as a home inspector, and cannot continue to work. I am a Realtor (which is why I seem to buy into anything that looks good) - and I need to liquidate some debt. We are paying a mortgage on both these properties. The first is a 2 Bedroom - WV (don't know what that means) at OL, week 28 Peak - $159,000 points annually, maintenance and tax $912. The second is a 2 bedroom / B at LV, Prime week, season 1 - $148,000 points on even years, maintenance and tax $598. I have read many of the posts here - and I'm sure I sound totally ignorant - you can see I can use some advise and help. I don't know if it's even possible to sell these timeshares - because we don't truly own them. Any advise will be helpful to me. If you wish to keep this off-line, please contact me carter.anne2011@gmail.com. Thanks

Good news you maybe interested in.

Good news you maybe interested in. I purchased a resale three bedroom ambassador unit at Holiday Hills week 8 Silver 125,000 points for $100.00 in April fully transferred in September. I got an ambassador Silverleaf Card this week. I already own two company purchased high red presidential units at Holiday Hills one has endless escapes six days of bonus time and the other three days of bonus time. They can not be used at Holiday Inn Vacation Resorts (HIVR). The ambassador unit allows me to have three day bonus time on the Silverleaf side. I can bank the points and use the 125,000 points at both Silverleaf and HIVR properties during the bronze or silver time period. The only down side are I may have to pay the $59 Registration fee on the ambassador unit and I am no longer able to book multiple bonus time reservations at the same time using multiple accounts. This is much better than week 8 use it at my unit or lose it at Holiday Hills.

Hi everyone-

Hi everyone-

I have also posted this question on the HICV facebook owners page. I know that this site has some smart minds so I'm hoping someone might provide me with some direction on who I could contact for more information.

I recently purchased two resale timeshares at Smoky Mountain from Sumday Vacations. Both are 2 bedroom units in peak season with float weeks 22-31 & 51-52. I am not currently at HICV member. From looking at Smoky Mountain's weeks, these are diamond weeks and worth 154,000 points each. It is my understanding that Smoky Mountain is one of 3 points resorts where points transfer to the new owner, however Sumday does not have any information about the points values of this units.

I need to confirm with hicv/orange lake that these units have points value rather than deeded weeks and the points will transfer to me as the new owner. I have called multiple numbers and been transferred numerous times but so far can't find this information. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help me find the information I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance for any help the group can provide. Mark
