Hilton Honors Grand Wailea August 2009

I just purchased a 5000 point HGVC at Seaworld - and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about coverting points to Hilton Honor points? I would like to stay at the Grand Wailea August 3-13 - is this still possible and if so how should I go about completing the reservation?:whoopie:

Most people here will tell you that converting HGVC points to HHonors points is not a good use of HGVC points. The conversion rate is 25-1, so your 5000 points will get you 125,000 HHonors points. Realistically, that is only 3 days in a hotel room at 40,000 points / day. Unless you have a bunch of other HHonors points, you won't get 10 days out of it. Search for HHonors conversion in this forum and see what others have suggested.

Thank you - this is helpful! I had no idea that it was 40,000 points per day

Grand WAilea Points Stay

The Grand Wailea, which is a Waldof Astoria Colletion Property, is actually 80,000 points not 40,000 like the rest of the Hilton top resorts.

I stayed there one night on February 20th and it is great but pricey for the points.

confused??

I see you say it is 80,000 points per night at the Grand Wailea, however, in the Hilton book it says that 6 days at the Grand Wailea (p. 19) http://www.hiltongrandvacations.com/mg/ is 17,500 points - what am I missing?

That is "club points" it is 80000 for Hilton Honors points.

17500 club points converts to 437500 Hilton Honors points.
