A new year brings new possibilities for exciting travel with Hilton Grand Vacations. In his 2021 welcome letter to Club Members, Chief Customer Officer Stan Soroka reflects on the outstanding travel opportunities available in the new year.
“HGV’s unprecedented decision to save all unused 2020 ClubPoints into 2021 will deliver our Members a year of travel unlike any other,” says Soroka. “When you combine the balance of ClubPoints now available with HGV’s current inventory opportunities, you are uniquely positioned to make this year one of great adventures.”
To help get you started with those adventures, we’ve highlighted some important changes below.

The Changeable Reservation Policy was modified, limiting changes to 61 days or more in advance of check-in for travel starting in the same calendar year. The previous policy allowed changes any time before check-in, as long as the change resulted in the use of the same number of ClubPoints or greater for travel starting in the same calendar year.
The new Changeable Reservation Policy applies to all new reservations and reservations confirmed before January 1, 2021.
Please note that in light of COVID-19, Club is waiving the Reservation Cancellation Policy, including the new Changeable Reservation Policy, through February 28, 2021, to allow for travel flexibility and peace of mind. Once the COVID-19 waiver ends, the new Changeable Reservation Policy will go into effect. Visit the Club News page for the latest details.

While COVID-19 brought unexpected challenges to Club Member events planned for last year, we are happy to report that events for 2021 are moving forward.
Club Members with Elite status can discover the Outer Loop of the Galapagos Islands with a 10-night event that includes a 7-night sailing on the Celebrity Flora. Guided land excursions with Tauck are also scheduled in Scotland and the Great Lakes region.
Also don’t forget to continue visiting the Club Navigator section of the Club website to access tools designed to help you further your membership, including an archive of educational webinars.
“If there’s one thing this past year taught us is that the ability to travel is truly a privilege,” says Soroka. “I think we also found that spending time with family and creating memories with those we love are the best gifts we can give one another. Let’s make 2021 a year to remember.”
