If you're curious about the deeply discounted vacation offers you receive in exchange for attending a timeshare sales presentation, you're not alone. Imagine for a moment — you've bought the package and scheduled your sales presentation.

Now what?

There’s no need to go blind. Real Hilton Grand Vacations Members have shared their timeshare presentation experiences so you know what to expect. Here are three ways to prepare for the presentation based on their stories.

1. Do Your Research

At the sales presentation, a Sales Executive will walk you through how Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare works. However, many Members wished they had done more research before attending the presentation. Specifically, they wanted to see the travel destinations and properties available through vacation membership. 

A flexible Points-based system gives Members access to nearly 200 Hilton Grand Vacations properties and the Hilton portfolio of 19 world-class brands comprising more than 7,200 properties. As you can imagine, that’s a lot of information to take in during one sales presentation.

Bottom line: take some time to review Hilton Grand Vacations’ resorts and destinations beforehand. 

2. Ask Yourself The Big Questions

Our Members unanimously recommended attendees ask plenty of clarifying questions. Check out this convenient list of must-ask questions to take to your sales presentation.

One of the benefits of Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare is the flexibility to travel how you please. Ask yourself these questions beforehand.

  • How important is it to you to take regular vacations?
  • How many nights a year do you want to travel?
  • What time of year do you prefer to vacations?
  • Who do you usually travel with?
  • Do you currently own a vacation home? If not, would you like to own one?

To get the most out of your Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare presentation, ask these questions when you meet your Sales Executive.

  • What is “home week?"
  • How do ClubPoints work?
  • What kind of vacations can I reasonably expect to take with 5,000 Points, 7,000 Points and so on?
  • Does time of year impact how many Points I need to travel certain destinations?
  • Is vacation membership affordable for me?
  • What are the financial responsibilities of vacation membership?
  • What do my maintenance fees and dues pay for?
  • Do I need financing to enjoy vacation membership?
  • What happens if I change my mind?

3. Hear From Real Hilton Grand Vacations Members

Many of our Members didn’t intend to walk out of their sales presentation with a shiny new timeshare deed. However, they’ve loved their vacation membership journey, from quality time spent with loved ones to bucket-life adventures in exciting destinations like Venice and Bali.
