Hilton Grand Vacations
HGV Max unifies Hilton and legacy Diamond Resorts.
The Overview
After Hilton's acquisition of Diamond Resorts, HGV's premium tier — HGV Max — lets owners book across 150+ combined HGV and legacy Diamond resorts. It's a paid membership layer on top of your ownership: Diamond points and HGV ClubPoints stay separate currencies, but both can book the unified network. Reservations are priced by a Tier 1–6 system; members get a 6–7 month priority window, automatic Hilton Honors status, a 10% Hilton rate discount, and can convert points to Hilton Honors at 1:16.

What we liked
- HGV Max unlocks 150+ combined HGV + legacy Diamond resorts
- Automatic Hilton Honors status + 10% rate discount; 1:16 Honors conversion
- Bank and borrow points; RCI / Destination Xchange exchange
Watch out for
- HGV Max is a paid upgrade layered on top of annual maintenance fees
- Dual-currency system (Diamond vs HGV points) is confusing; legacy Diamond resorts vary
- Resale contracts get shorter booking windows and limited Honors conversion
The Bottom Line
Great reach and flexibility, but vet the specific home resort — especially former Diamond properties — and factor in the added cost of the HGV Max layer.
