Anyone know what the going rate for Hyatt resale points are right now? Or is this resort specific?
Thank you
Thank you
My best advise would be to buy where you want to go most of the time... regardless of MF's. Why? You are only guaranteed the week and unit you own... lets say you buy somewhere else just to get nice low MF, and something happens at the resort where the owners vote and kick out the hyatt management, well you no longer are in the hyatt system and do not get to trade into the resorts that you REALLY want to be at. We liked Sedona, but cannot see ourselves going there every year, maybe every 3rd?
Its a gamble.... because the low MF's sound nice and over time that is where the costs add up, not so much the purchase price, which do vary based on resort. Another part of the equation is how long you plan to own it???
these have been the kinds of things I have been debating over the past 18 months,,, but still have yet to jump in.... ? where to buy?
I don't believe Hyatt has ever dropped a property from the system. I know Marriott has had this happen in the past. It's not something I personally think is very likely.

I would think that the decision to keep a property or to dump it would depend on whether or not they have a revenue stream flowing. If they make no money it is likely the property would be at risk for a sale.
Thank you for the insight!
Does anyone know if HGVC has lost any properties in the past? We are trying to decide between HGVC and Hyatt for our 1st TS.
Thanks!
Thank you!
We don't ski, so that one is not an issue for us... but I do like the properties that are in II for trading vs RCI... so still on the fence
Thanks
If you want a flexible points system that trades in II, then you may want to consider WorldMark. It is the most cost effective and most flexible points system. It also has fantastic trade power in II, and it trades in RCI as well. In addition, although the WorldMark resorts are not nearly as nice as Hyatts or Hiltons, there are a lot of them in the Northwest near where you live. That would give you a lot of options.
Really good info! So if you are using a TS for 'points only' and trading into II/RCI, WM is a better option over Hyatt or Hilton?
These are my least favorite features about Hyatt:
1) If you borrow points from a future year, then you can only reserve time 60 days in advance. This is a huge negative that is not found in many other points systems.
2) If you want to reserve less than a week, there are rigid guidelines for what days you can check in and check out, how long you can stay, etc. Most other point systems allow you to check in any day of the week and stay any length of time.
3) You cannot exchange into any other Hyatt resorts through II. Once you deposit points into II, they can only be used for non-Hyatt exchanges.
4) The only way to extend the life of your points is to deposit them into II. This, along with #1 above, makes it almost impossible to combine points for more than one year for a longer or higher season stay at a Hyatt.
These are factors that ought to be considered when purchasing a Hyatt, especially as a first timeshare.
