While the Director ? didn't use the "succession" requirement for using points on a time share resale, Holiday Inn has added some penalties …

- points don't roll over (vs. allowing "owners" as they call the original buyers getting to roll over 1 yr) - 6 months advance reservations vs. 10 months for owners - $99 reservation fee vs. $64

- only the person on the Deed can check-in, i.e., can't rent out or even have family use it - Cannot borrow points - Points don't convert to RCI

So while they contend they are all about "owners" it is only original owners, not resales.

We are opting out of the whole system !

Most of the restrictions that you mention only apply to resale trust points- which at most resort locations they haven't even started selling. These don't apply to deeded (non trust) resale transfers at the 3 properties. There is a 300 page document which clearly outlines these restrictions for trust points. In order to make those kind of changes "- only the person on the Deed can check-in, i.e., can't rent out or even have family use it - Cannot borrow points - Points don't convert to RCI " To the existing properties -that have not been deeded into the trust, it would require a super majority. HICV likely couldn't get that which is one of the reasons for the trust, so that once the deeds are a part of the trust the basic benefits will not transfer.
