Hilton Grand Vacations?

[leebee]

Has anyone done the Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare package that Hilton offers its rewards members? They have some really attractive vacation package offers and we have free flying on Southwest, so it would make a reasonably "cheap" get-away. I know... it's a timeshare deal, we'll have to sit thru the sales pitch, etc. However... Have you done this? Is it a hard-push, heavy duty sales program, or are the willing to take "no, thanks" and let it go? We're thinking of signing up for an offer but don't want to be miserable the entire time as we are hit with a constant barrage of sales people who won't take no for an answer.

I've thought about it a couple times but never pulled the trigger. I will say I was recently pricing out Vegas stays and some Hilton Vacation properties were <$150/night, one of them $107. The time share package offer was $259 for three nights. So yes, a savings, but not a great one. I don't know if you get a choice of which property they put you in, but I assume it would be one of the cheaper ones.

I believe there are also blackout dates, but not sure and don't know if you can find out the blackout dates before committing to the package.

I'll be interested in answers from people who went through it though.
