Here's what I got in writing from my Elite counselor:
Here is the information I found regarding the guest of member maximum. It is in the club terms and conditions on page 15 (or page 33 from the first top page as it includes the club agreement and some other disclosures and definitions page).
16. Guests
A Member may arrange use of Timeshare Periods and Partner Inventory by a guest age twenty-one (21) or older. Reservations must be made by the Member and may be transferred to the guest using a Guest Certificate obtained from and issued by GAE. A Member cannot exceed more than fifteen (15) Guest Certificates annually. GAE
reserves the right to charge a fee for any non-Member's (i.e., guest) use of a Member's Club Points.
She also sent me the Holiday Inn Club Disclosure Guide:
