HGV Max Launches for Bluegreen Vacation Club
Last November, HGV Max launched for Bluegreen Members, allowing you to upgrade your membership to have even more vacation options. You’ll maintain many of your existing Bluegreen Vacation Club benefits and gain exciting features that enhance your ownership, including access to more resorts across the world.
The acquisition of Bluegreen Vacations means HGV has an expanded portfolio of properties across the United States. Access to these properties will start to become available to HGV Max Members by the end of 2025, so keep an eye out for more updates soon.
Check Your Inbox for the Latest Fee Updates
You should have received an important email from me earlier this month with updates about your membership for the year ahead. In case you missed it, here is a reminder for Embarc/Extraordinary Escapes, HGVClub and The Club Members and for Bluegreen Vacation Club Members. The message includes links to your 2025 rules and fees documents, as well as important reminders from HGV.
Leigh’s Booking Tips
With the warmer vacation season nearly upon us, we want to help everyone make the most of their membership, which is why understanding your reservation windows is so important.
Remember that the best time to book is as far out as the reservation window allows. If you’re looking to travel to a new destination, we recommend being flexible with your travel dates and looking for destinations where we have multiple resorts. Reservation windows vary by membership program and are provided on your Member website.
It is also worth checking upcoming deadlines for saving your points to maximize usage and booking online to save on fees. For more details, refer to your Club Rules or Member Directory guides on your Member website, which is a fantastic resource to help you with any inquiries.
There are multiple choices for Members when it comes to using your points and we advise expanding your options by using them early in the year. You can book trips throughout the year, save some or all your points for later use or borrow points from next year to take your ultimate escape right now. The Member website also highlights various reduced point stays throughout the year, so don’t forget to visit often.
Finally, to make sure you’re up to speed with the latest HGV news, bookmark newsletter.clubtraveler.com and magazine.clubtraveler.com on your browser.
I hope 2025 is a year to remember for your travel plans.
Adventure awaits,

Make the Most of Off-Season
Travel during the shoulder (or “off”) season means better rates and more room to explore. For those seeking warmer weather, fall and spring are ideal times to visit Hawaii, where Members will find pleasant temperatures and unique experiences. Travelers can choose The Bay Club, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club on The Big Island’s sun-drenched Kohala Coast, home to a 36-hole golf course and a variety of delicious dining options.
The fall shoulder season is an excellent time to explore South Carolina’s coastal destinations, where mild weather and beautiful foliage create a perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Members can unwind at Ocean 22, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, an oceanfront retreat in Myrtle Beach that sits right on the sand and is just minutes from top attractions like Ripley’s Aquarium.
Your Ultimate Member Advantage
Hilton Grand Vacations has introduced an educational webinar for Members of Extraordinary Escapes, Hilton Grand Vacations Club and The Club with HGV Max.
The first video in the series, Basics and Benefits of HGV Max, is designed to provide you with the best strategies to get the most from your HGV Max membership. Each session features expert insights from our Member Engagement Specialists, along with live Q&A opportunities to answer your questions.
