Quick answer
Most Hilton GV owners land in one of three buckets:
- →Get cash for the points (this year only — you still own the contract) if you won't use them this year but want to keep ownership. The easiest version: Timeshare Rental Pros pays you cash up front, with no work and no fee.
- →Use the points if you actually want the vacation and can book peak weeks at desirable resorts.
- →Exit the contract if maintenance fees feel like a tax on something you don't value anymore.
At typical Hilton GV allocations (26,000 points), this year's rental value is roughly $2,600–$5,200. Annual maintenance fees are usually $800–$2,400 depending on contract size.
01
Get cash for the points
What we recommend
Cash up front. Zero work. No fee. You keep the contract.
This is the path we point most Hilton GV owners to. Timeshare Rental Pros pays you cash up front for this year's unused points — before any rental happens — then rents the points themselves. You submit a one-page form, get a cash offer within 24 hours, sign electronically, and get paid. They never charge owners a fee. You still own the contract; this is one-year-only.
When this fits
- You don't want to manage a rental listing
- Your points are about to expire and you need cash now
- You want guaranteed payment, not rental gambling
- You want to keep the contract and just skip this year
What you'll get
$2,600–$5,200
Estimated for a typical Hilton GV allocation. Paid up front, before any rental. No upfront fees, ever.

02
Self-rent the points
The DIY route
More upside if you want the work — and the risk.
You can book a peak week and list it yourself on Airbnb or Vrbo. Done well, self-renting can net a bit more per point — but you handle everything: booking the right week, the listing, photos, pricing, guest messages, cancellations, and platform risk. There's no guaranteed payout and no one to call if a renter no-shows. It's the harder path, not the recommended one.
When this fits
- You've managed Airbnb/Vrbo listings before
- You can book a peak-season week at a desirable resort
- You have time and want to maximize per-point cash
- You're comfortable carrying the cancellation risk yourself
What you'll net
$3,380–$6,760
Potential for a typical Hilton GV allocation — after Airbnb/Vrbo fees, before your time, and only if it rents.
03
Exit the contract
End the maintenance fees for good.
Hilton Grand Vacations does not operate a public buyback program like Wyndham Ovation. Owners can list with HGV's own resale arm (Hilton Grand Vacations Resale) but the queue is long and prices low. Third-party resale via licensed brokers typically recovers 30–50% of original purchase price for HGVC contracts — higher than Marriott's recovery rate. Right of First Refusal applies. Diamond-acquired contracts may have different exit options under HGV Max transition rules.
Warning
Avoid upfront-fee “timeshare exit companies” charging $4,000–$15,000 — they're often scams or sell services you can get free brand-direct. Always exhaust the brand's own program first.
When this fits
- You haven't used the points in 2+ years
- Maintenance fees feel like a tax, not a value
- You're fully paid off (most brand exit programs require this)
- You don't plan to ever return to the contract
What it costs
$0
When you use the brand-direct exit program. Resale recovery varies; resale brokers charge 0–30% on closed sales.
The five-question decision tree
Answer these five questions in order. The first “yes” is your path.
- 01
Will you actually take a vacation using these points this year?
If yes
Use them. Don't sell what you'd otherwise pay cash for.
If no
Move to the next question.
- 02
Do you want to keep the contract long-term but just skip this year?
If yes
Get cash for only this year's points. The contract stays intact. The simplest version is TRP — cash up front, no work, no fee.
If no
Move to the next question.
- 03
Are your points about to expire (90 days or less) and you have no plan?
If yes
Take the cash offer. TRP turns offers around within 24 hours and the alternative is forfeiting the points entirely.
If no
Move to the next question.
- 04
Have you used the points in the past two years and could you see using them again?
If yes
Get cash for this year's points and reassess next year. Keep the contract.
If no
Move to the next question.
- 05
Are you fully paid off on the contract and ready to be done with annual maintenance fees?
If yes
Contact Hilton GV Owner Services about current exit options first. If they don't have a program (HGV and Westgate don't publish one), resale via a licensed broker is the realistic path. Free or near-free is the only acceptable price for brand-direct.
If no
Pay off the contract first, then return to this question. Or rent/sell the points in the meantime.
Why we partner with Timeshare Rental Pros
The timeshare space is full of scams. They're the partner we trust.
Plenty of companies in this industry take an upfront “fee” and disappear. We send owners to Timeshare Rental Pros because their model is the opposite of that playbook — and that's the whole reason this site exists.
Cash up front
They pay you up front — before you check in, before any rental happens. You have the money in hand before the stay even exists.
No owner fees, ever
They've never once asked an owner to send them a dime. No setup fee, no listing fee, no “processing” fee — nothing.
How we earn
We earn a referral commission from TRP if you become a customer — never from you, and you pay nothing either way. If renting, selling, or exiting on your own is the better move, our guides will say so.
