Summary: If you’ve ever had travel plans upended, you’ll understand the struggle, here why one Elite Owner’s grateful for Hilton Grand Vacations anyway.

What a difference a year makes. Last December, when I vowed to travel relentlessly in the upcoming year, I could have never imagined there would be a pandemic to consider.

We were supposed to return to Kings’ Land by Hilton Grand Vacations in Hilton Waikoloa Village to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Our previous trip to Kings’ Land was one of my most memorable travel experiences with Hilton Grand Vacations. To say we were disappointed to cancel the 2-bedroom plus suite I optimistically reserved in April would be an understatement.

The property and the Hawaiian Islands have re-opened since canceling our trip, but all’s well. Hilton Grand Vacations graciously updated their ClubPoints policy, so I don’t feel we’ve missed out.

Thanks to the updated policy, Owners can cancel planned vacations until December 31, 2020, with no penalty or forfeited points. That allows Owners to move saved points from 2019 to 2021 with no additional charge.

So, I opted to cancel the trip and keep my points.
