I'm not questioning your info, but until it opens we'll just have to wait and see. With only the West 57th owners being able to reserve more than 44 days before checkin, it sounds much more like the Hilton Club than a HGVC. (which allows open season at 9 months for every other HGVC resort). But if the owners at the other NYC Hilton Club can't reserve earlier than regular HGVC members, you sure could be right.
The information is correct - it was published in the HGVC Disclosure Statement dated August 2007. The 45-day rule applies to all "Home Resort Reservations." However, this reservation category applies exclusively to the West 57th Street Vacation Suites. "Home Resort Reservations" are only those made at the resort at which a member has an ownership interest. The window begins 9 months prior to the check out date and ends 45 days in advance of the check out date.
By the way, I am an owner at both the Hilton Club New York (not an HGVC property) and the West 57th Street by Hilton Club (an HGVC property with special rules). I bought a Studio Plus (one Gold week) in June 2007 at West 57th Street at price well below the current offering price and also received an additional 3,750 ClubPoints as a bonus.
