I made a home resort reservation at Bay Club for spring 2019, during the home preference 12-9 months window, sending in my paper request form in to Bay Club/Hilton. I've been thinking of changing to an earlier date, now in club reservation period. There are lots of units available in club period.

Will HGVC-Bay Club charge me to make this change? Looks like online I can only cancel the reservation. I am hoping if I call Bay Club # , they will make change n/c.
(I can't do now cause I'm waiting for friends to decide when they can travel, maybe in a week's time. ).

Has anyone else had this situation? Thanks in advance!

You should be able to cancel and rebook the new dates w/o a fee.
Even though it is in the club-window, it is still a home-week booking.
I'd call the main HGVC member line to do this.

The Rules: "After the Home Week Priority Reservation Window ends, Members will no longer have an exclusive window to book their Home Week, however, they may still make a Home Week reservation, subject to availability." (emphasis added)

But if I understand correctly, if it's a home week reservation, you will have to book the exact unit type you bought, and adhere to a 1 week reservation checking in and out on their week regimen

and book in the same season that you own.
IOW, its gotta be a HW reservation to be a HW reservation.

Just a follow-up, I called the Bay Club HGVC number, and they said no problem... I just had to send them in another copy of the reservation request form. They emailed me blank form, I filled out, scanned with signature and emailed it back. Reservation was changed the next work day :) It's a plus and a minus that Bay Club usually has units available.
If DD and another friend couple decide to come later, I think I can get another unit fairly easily.
