Elara bHC 2BX Already Booked For F1 2024?

Have you used your points for this year? Mine is the same because we are using 2026 points for 2025 reservations and don't have any 2024 points and only a couple thousand in 2025.

I have used all 2024 points, but my dashboard looked the same even when I had the points available.
 
I think the problem is that they don't get the option to book a HW at Elara HC

LOL I don't know how to better explain this. Elara bHC has no homeweek! We have a nine month booking window, accessible from the general booking menu. No eligibity to book a homeweek from the owner dashboard.
 
Understood but it has the window, just doesn't function. I am still trying to understand the purpose of owning there if you don't get better options for booking than non-owners

Owner's lounge access and some of the deeds have a very favorable $MF/point ratio for bHC points.

Well the Club book (posted previously) and on the website reservation screen for the resort (attached here) show a Home Week Priority window.

Have you also used your bHC 2025 Points? Do you only own bHC or do you also own non bHC deeds? I know I've run into a situation with mixed deeds that I have used bHC points (at the District) to book regular locations and my ability to book a Home Week or use the Priority window was restricted. Now I have to pay closer attention to what bucket I am using.

All bHC 2025 points are available.
All HGV deeds were consolidated into bHC deeds, so we're 100% bHC now.
 
Welcome to the Elara bHC owner's homeweek dashboard LOL

All bHC 2025 points are available.
Something isn’t right about your account for HW bookings. You said that all 2025 pts are available, but your HW booking page states that you don’t have any available 2025 pts. It should give a date when you can book your HW if you have available pts. I would suggest that you call the club (use the bHC line)

Agreed. If something doesn't flip and open up Feb 2025 Platinum week booking in the next couple of weeks I'll know for sure something is wrong and give them a call.

Now that you mention it, owners may well be have to call to reserve at Elara bHC during the Home Week priority period since they aren't fixed weeks. Or at least it may be true while HGVC works out the bugs in the system...;-)

Most resorts, I am able to book HW (Valdoro, Ocean Oak) just not Sunrise Lodge.

I book HW at HHV's Lagoon Tower online pretty much every year (well...every other year). I was more thinking of the Penthouses at GW and GI where once upon a time you had to call to reserve. Not that it necessarily has anything to do with the Elara bHC owners...but now I am curious to see what happens if one of them attempts to book a home week reservation on the phone.
