So how many Hrc points do you need to deposit into ii too get a vacation? Is there a chart?
You do not actually have to "deposit" points for use in II. Many owners do deposit points into Extended External Exchange (EEE) for planning or to save points because they are good for use with II for 2 years FROM YOUR HOME WEEK - but they have to be moved 4 months or more before your home week use week. And once points are moved to EE they cannot be moved back to another Hyatt bucket for Hyatt reservations.
Hyatt keeps all points until an actual reservation is made so EEE is just another Hyatt bucket with it's own set of rules. SO MOVING POINTS TO EEE IS NOT MOVING THEM TO II.
If you try to make an II reservation, it will use an points you have in EEE first before looking for other available points. I think you can actually make a reservation without having enought points - and the reservation will fail to be fufilled.
If you learn the rules for the different buckets (CUP, LCUP, RCUP, EEE) it is not really that complicated. But the application of said rules to use points can hurt your head. I own an EOY unit and that requires even more work.
