My wife and I have been looking into the Hyatt Residence club after discovering the locations in some non-traditional places, particularly Carmel and Key West. We currently own Vistana, Marriott and Diamond. None of those systems have properties in Carmel and only Diamond has a property in Key West.
I've been reading over the HRC FAQ and info pages, which have been very helpful. But I just wanted to make sure I understand the system before trying to make a resale purchase.
I noticed in the marketplace there are two 2bd weeks at High Sierra Lake Tahoe which are valued at 1300 points each. If I was able to purchase something like this (and it got past ROFR), is it realistic to think that I could use those points to reserve a week in a studio in either Carmel or Key West, which looks to be around 700 points? With both our Vistana and Marriott ownerships, the internal points exchanges are actually very easy and since my wife and I have maximum scheduling flexibility (retired, kid out on his own, dogs passed away...) scheduling has not been an issue. Any fees for an internal exchange?
Also, FWIW, it sounds like the rollout of the Hyatt HRP program is almost an exact copy of Marriott's rollout of their Destinations club program, which we went through as legacy owners. In the end, in spite of all the salesperson rambling about two different pools of inventory, limited trust property access, "supercharging" legacy points, etc., our experience has actually been very positive.
Thanks
