I've seen several postings re: converting HGVC points to HH Honors and had another question:
We just purchased (Marbrisa, 5800 club points EOY), and received an additional 10,000 HGVC BONUS points. We know we want to convert one or the other set of points to HHHonors, but aren't sure how to evaluate which is a better choice. (HGVC states that either set of points will still convert 23:1 and that the HH Honors points will never expire). We understand the bonus points are good only for open season and cannot be used as club points. HGVC also said HGVC bonus points can be converted to HHhonors right now, or at any time during the 2 year use period, and then can be immediately used - club points can't be converted until Jan 2008 when they are alloted, although I have to request the conversion by Dec 2007).
1. If we convert the 10,000 bonus points into 230,000 HHHonors points, will these new points allow us to upgrade to Gold membership instead of Silver?
2. Is there any particular advantage for converting one group (bonus points) over the other group (HGVC club points) to HHHonors?
(We have no interest in converting either set to RCI points)
Thanks for any guidance....
