We are comparing between Hilton and Marriott. Marriott has two big negatives;
- ROFR is being exercised around 25% of original costs, and then
- to add insult they are charging junk fees at $2 per point, plus.

Is Hilton doing the same thing? In a nutshell does anyone know first hand if Hilton is doing the same thing and what the actual cost of junk fees and transfer fees is.

Many thanks.

Only certain Hilton properties have ROFR so it depends on what you want to buy. There is a great website that gives people's experience w ROFR at www.rofr.net.

There is a $399 transfer fee w Hilton and an "Account Activation" fee of $560 if not buying from Hilton (if you buy from Hilton there is still a fee but I believe it is $349.

No other Hilton fees for resale purchase.
