So our situation is that we are in contract for a Bay Club, 2BR/LO for $6K, Platinum, annual, MF's 1250, thru an agent (Syed) who says Hilton has ROFR.

Your post states that Bay Club that you are in contract for is a 2 bedroom lockout (2br l/o). Bay Club is all 2br dedicated units meaning no lock out. A 2br lockout will let you lock off a portion of the 2br to make a 1br and a studio. This is advantageous as you can stay in the studio portion for 1 week and the 1br portion for another week. Essentially you are getting to stay longer but in smaller units. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask. Hope this helps.

I also agree that something is wrong with the post as there are NO Lockouts at Bay Club.

There are two variations of the 2 BRs, and A and B layout. The A is larger, the B is slightly smaller, however both are considered 2 BR and get 7000 HGVC points.

There is also a 2 BR Villa, that is considered a 2 BR+ in HGVC, and receives 8400 HGVC points. The layouts for Villas are considered E and F layout, the only difference is floor. The 2 BR Villas, are two units only in 1 building. 1 unit is the ground floor and the other is the upper floor. Each unit has it own carport out front.

There are no lock-off Bay Club units, but if you're trading within the HGVC system or depositing an HGVC unit in RCI, aren't you using points anyway - so whether or not it's a lock-off is moot. Points are points. Describing it as a lock-off is a bit strange, though. Maybe they mean you can lock-off points?

bobtfrench, if you're happy with the price and got what you want, don't worry if you got the best deal. Bay Club prices have definitely been going up since the renovation. Did you buy at the lowest point? No. But you're definitely nowhere nearest the highest price paid for a Bay Club unit!

describing it as a 2BR LO is my mistake, it is a 2BR. I'm still very new to all this terminology. My main concern was price / value and in the current market - so, not necessarily the best deal, but not bad, so good enough! thank you all!

Good to know. Incorrect information is always a flag, either someone does not know what they own (bad) or they are trying to sell you something they don't or can't actually own (even worse). Because you are buying it based on what they are telling you.

I own at Bay Club and although there is a lot of talk about affiliates vs HGVC built, I think that there is a different relationship at Bay Club. HGVC is there to stay for sometime to come. I think only something drastic would cause HGVC to shed Bay Club or vice versa.

It is a completely different relationship than some of the other affiliates. Land owned by Bay Club was sold to HGVC. New HGVC builds are adjacent to Bay Club. Check in for both are one location. They are both Managed and Sold by HGVC.

I wouldn't worry about it. Getting a good deal is a far better concern. IMHO
