If someone ever says that, the logical response is "in that case I'll be happy to leave the last few spots for other folks"
Or,
"I'm glad to hear spaces are filling up, maybe you'll quit bothering me then."
Of course, there's always the classic, and my personal favourite.
"No." Followed by walking away/hanging up.

Attended sales pitch today at Coconut Plantation. They are attempting to sell opportunity to convert one or all of owned resale weeks of HRC to HPC status (HPC=Hyatt Points Club). This would allow owner on a yearly basis to choose to book his points in either program. Buy in cost offered us was 840 new points at $20 per point plus maintenance fee of .84 per point for the first year, or total of $ 17,500. This would convert 2 of our owned weeks. We declined. During presentation we were told something BIG was going to change on Jan 29, so we should buy before then. I got the impression this might be some kind of merger of affiliation with another timeshare co.? They were very coy about that.
After we said no a second time to the closer, we were offered a new plan called Access, which would keep the door open to convert a week (or more) for two years on the same terms as today, for a one time cost today of $2300 plus $200 in tax and fees. If you do convert sometime in that 2 year window, the $2300 will be applied to the cost of doing so. For this you get a free 7 day stay in a one BR at any of the following HRC properties: Sedona, Windward Pointe, Coconut Plantation, Highlands Inn, Wild Oak; good any season for up to 2 years, plus 84,000 World of Hyatt points good for lifetime and can be used at any Hyatt Hotel or at HRC properties, plus 2 years of Leisure Time Passport which apparently can be used to book last minute stays at very low cost. ( I have no knowledge of the latter.). The WOH points can also be converted to airline miles.
Takeaways: 1. Something is going to happen on Jan. 29 which may or may not affect us legacy owners.
2. Pure HPP owners will NOT have access to the legacy system except when a legacy owner who has converted his week decides in any given year to access the HPC system, relinquishing his HRC points only for that year, a possibility of very low probability since the HPC trust has very little inventory as yet. I asked all three of the sales people this question and all gave the same answer. This made me much relieved, as there has been some different reporting on this forum.
3. The existence of the " Access" program tells me that they are NOT being successful in selling this conversion idea, else they would not offer a reasonably incentivized plan allowing people to delay making a decision.
The sales people were pleasant and not pushy, but they did take too long to make the pitch.
