I friend from work just came back from 2 weeks at the Bay Club and said their second day there, they did a tour for KingsLand and bought a 2 bd gold season worth 8400 pts for $26,000. Since they owned 7000 pts at the Bay Club they will be HGVC elite. It way too late for them to rescind and they are happy with their purchase.

Thank the lord, they didn't spend >$40,000 for the platinum season premier week.

PS She has a great map of the resort and also a great map of the whole area. I'll scan them and get them posted.

Points are points so it doesn't matter whether it's gold season or not but something doesn't seem right. 8400 points for $26000 seems awful low. In fact, I think re-sale at HHV is more than $26000 for 8400 points. So if someone must own HGVC in Hawaii (not Bay Club), then this is a great deal.

I agree. This doesn't even come close to the prices I was quoted at my Bay Club owners update 2 months ago. Do you know if this is annual or EOY?
 
It was annual gold points for a 2 bed plus unit. My friend said HGVC discounted $3000 for a current Bay club owner.
 
It does seem low.. they might find out they bought EOY
7000 in Vegas is around that price from developer
 
When we did our owners update, I was given the distinct impression they have been taking the deeds of a "lessor" property and upgrading their ownership into the newer Kingsland property with a new deed and points.

They may have taken the Bay Club deed and it's 7000 points and "upgraded" them. That way they have a superior property and 12 month out priority as their home resort.

Yeah, I know.... I wasn't buying it either.
 
In another thread, a poster is saying that they were offered 12,600 EOY pts at Kingsland for $25,000 ( $2/eoy platinum pts)

My friend paid $26,000 for 8400 annual gold pts ($3.10/annual gold pts) But they did say that the regular price would have been $29,000.
 
Well even though it was a retail price...it sure doesn't sound like they did too bad by buying direct from Hilton.

I was like the others, I thought the new Kingsland was going to have a way higher prices.

They do have way higher prices. The EOY I quoted would work out to $50K for 12,600 platinum pts (~$4/pt). But the main reason the price is high is the pts are so high.

It appears to me that HGVC has been trying to sell their platinum points at all their resorts, for about $4/pt. It just at Orlando & LV the units are only 7000 pts /2 bd weeks.
 
I think it is the gold vs platinum thing - I should have the platinum prices somewhere, and I do recall that they were much much more expensive. If I find them I will post them.
 
See this thread for Waikoloa prices.

I was at Waikoloa in summer of 2004 and I remembered 8400 points is around 30K. I thought Kingsland is like Grand Waikikian and will cost a lot more. Now I'm curious about what your friend purchased. Even with a $3000 discount, $29000 for 8400 points is still pretty inexpensive.

And don't think of plat/gold/silver etc. Platinum 2-bd plus is 8400 pts, gold 2-bd plus is 5800 pts, standard 2-bd platinum is 7000 pts, and 2-bd gold is 5000 pts. So if the purchase is for 8400 pts, it's a 2-bd plus or "golf" view.

As you said 8400 pts was about $30,000, She paid $26,000 because she got a $3000 discount for being a current owner at the Bay Club

She bought a 2 bd plus unit during gold season at Kingland worth 8400 pts.

All units at Kingland will have a golf course view. Some top floor units will have distant views of the ocean but it a long way away.

Wow. Then Hilton must be hurting. When I went in June, 2004, 8400 points was $30,000. According to the other posting, it went up to $36,400 in August 2005. And now, the "official" price for 8400 points is only $29,000!
 
From other topic...

Hi all. I'm the one that was offered 12,600 EOY Plus a bonus 15,000 points for signing (not sure whether the bonus points are worth it) for $25,000. Since we live on Oahu, we were figuring out whether this would work out better for us since we island hop for vacations at least once a year. This was for the Platinum Plus 2 bedroom.

We had already placed a kind of down payment of $1795 (which is 5000 club points) in case we want to go through with the offer which stands for 15 months. If not, we can use this as a one week vacation in Hawaii, Las Vegas, or Orlando. Some had offered to buy instead in Las Vegas (not sure which Hilton they meant). This Kings Land sounded like a good deal, especially with the bonus points, but from reading more on this website, I'm not sure what company or what to do now!

The offer that HGVC made you is this
12,600 EOY pts ( or the same as 6300 annual pts ) for $25,000 That works out to $4/pt . You can buy platinum pts for under $2/pt and save at least $12,000

25k for 12,600 EOY points is pretty expensive. I'm not going to say you can pick up HGVC points for $1 per point. But you should be able to pick up any HGVC in Vegas or Orlando for less than $2 per point (resale of course).
 
re: Kings Land

What are these Elite perks that are offered by Hilton?
 
Here is the latest inventory pricing as of 2/20/08. The green prices are the new releases.

HGVC owners can take a discount off the retail.

nonutrix
 
What do all those "codes" mean - Unit Type: 3 BR (Bedroom) vs 3 BX & what is the best value based on $ per point?

Can you even buy Kingsland resell as yet?
 
My two cents on price.

Not taking resale into account, prices seem good. When I went to the HGVC Waikoloa presentation in Aug 07, a 2 BR Premier Platinum season was about $52,000, which is 9600pts. In Kingsland, you can get 12,600 pts 2 BR for $45,700. More pts less price.

Any one now what the Annual Dues are?

That's what I meant. It seems Kingsland is cheaper per point than Waikoloa. My reference is the 8700 points (code 2KP) for $29,700.

I also wonder what the different "voice codes" are.
 
I wonder if this may be a reason that the prices at Kingsland seems so soft.

Word on the street is that things are not going well at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii. How not well, you ask? Well, gossip says nine managers have left in 8 months and all but 3 of the in-house reps have also said goodby (most of them have reportedly just moved to Hilton on Oahu, where there seems to be less drama).

We hear that the core of discontent lies in a series of unpopular changes installed by Lori Chuba, the Senior Director and Michael McCarthy the DOS.

I did my presentation at Waikoloa on 4/7/2008 and here is what they quoted me:

For Waikoloa (7000 Points)
2BR Gold = $32,310
Bonus Points = 17,000
Annual = $1,175

For Orlando International (5000 Points)
2BR Gold = #20,990
Bonus Points = 7,500
Annual = $867

Didn't buy either one.
