Well one year I lost the points because my agent / friend did not tell me that he had not rented it. Other years I just take it back in CUP points and try to use them somewhere before I loose them. That's a difficult task when you been there and done that to every club in the system. And I'm kind of burned out about it all, preferring to take Holland America Line Cruses instead of going back to all the Hyatt places I have already been.. But I would go back to the ones that are hard to almost impossible to get into , if i could. Until I get wore out on them also. I've used my point for 2 bedrooms in Key West because that's all I could get when I only needed a studio, I pushed them into EE , where I now have to many to use, and then I don't like paying another $300 to use them. I've give a one week to my sister to stay at Coconut plantation. etc. but still with only 3 Hyatt properties I'm point overloaded. one reason being that I get about 5800 points from my Hyatt 3 bedroom week at Breckenridge. ( Summer float points combined with winter points). I've been to HMSS Breckenridge every year for 15 years straight for the 4th of July week. But this year I said not this year. you cant tell the parade from one year to the next. they look identical. Breckenridge is a wonderful , real town. place and historic. But this year / summer I decided to take a 40 day cruise and 4 day before to the Baltic sea countries, St Petersburg, Scotland , Iceland and including 7 day to Norway at the end.
That's why I started going to Puerto Rico for 6 weeks at a time for several years and loved it, and bought a resale there also, ( I had consecutive 6 weeks reserved in PR 2 years ago when it was hit by the hurricane - and now I have 5 comp stays promised to me by Hyatt use - I worry that I will ever get them. i.e. by the time they get the PR club reopened They may have lost the records of what they promised us that were cancelled due to the Hurricanes. BUT I'm hopeful. they are trying I think they have set up a specials team at Member services to work with the people effected by the PR cancellations. ( I understand that Marriott owners that were effected by the hurricanes that year were not re accommodated in any way - they were told "Tough luck" by Marriott! That's what one effected member told me so I don't know if that's true or the whole story. And as you can see under my avatar on the left I have 3 Mexican timeshares, ne of which I have never used it. ( The Mayan Palace - Near Playa del Carmen) and its the most expensive one . I did stay there twice however using my RCI points to trade in, but have never stayed there as a member. One reason being that there is no maintenance fee due unless you use a week. (Except one every 10 years - for which you get no stay. Just have to pay it - But now that I am over 76 years old I can. now stay one week a year at no cost. I need to start using that, which then lets the Hyatt points pile up. so I had to many Hyatt points I needed to use to do something before I lose them.
Ok enough . I guess you get the picture, and I just came back in to turn my computer off when I saw you question, I was headed to bed. its now 1:30AM here in Denver. so that why I just started to leave you a short note before i turned the computer off, but as you see I started rambling.. and I could probably go on more about how I'm overwhelmed with to many points, and why my best solutions for me this stage is to sell my Hyatt Main Street Station. (And P.S. the reason I don't use up all MSS points during ski season is that I am single, never really needed a 3 bedroom, and then about 9 years ago I hit a tree on peak 8 at Breck and broke my leg and sort of then eventually gave up skiing after going back for a few ski days before i quit permanently. ( Hospital bill $500,00 and doctors $500,000, $900 ambulance ride for 9 miles to local emergency room , and then $3700 for ambulance "taxi" ride to Denver for surgery and recoup. All paid by insurance but my out of pocket cost was about $700) - I was not recklessly skiing or goofing off - but my mistake was I was not looking ahead, I was looking at my feet and day dreaming about what I was going to fix for dinner - when the tree surprised me ! but it was to late.
