Points are points
I think most Hyatt owners will agree with me on this - points are points. That being said, before you could get that diamond week that someone else owns, they would have to decide to go somewhere else - or perhaps they determine they want to go a different week. It is very hard to go to the same resort, the exact same week every single year. Some folks do in fact go to their home resort, in the exact unit they purchased. But, many people give that week up for another Hyatt, to extend their point value in a different season or they just need to go a week later. No matter the reason, once that owner has gone past their 6 month window - it is open to other Hyatt members. It does not matter if I own at Aspen or Key West.... Granted, I do not think many Aspen owners are letting go of ski weeks. But, I have seen quite a few Aspen weeks available outside of ski and high summer. So, that being said - decide if you want a specific unit or the points. But, to make the Hyatt system work for you - you must take the time to fully understand their time periods. Anyway, I have found that Hyatt treats their owners like no other TS company and regardless of where you purchase, you will be happy!
