Hyatt resale help for Newbies please?
First-time posting newbies here . . . Would really love your feedback.
We love the Hyatt High Sierra Lodge, and are considering making an offer for resale in platinum season -2000 points (summer/kids off from school). We're timeshare newbies and East Coast'ers, but have family in Bay Area, and can see ourselves returning at least every other year to the resort - and to trade in the off years. Have done some research about the Hyatt system and don't fully get it yet, but have family members in it and liking it. The last time we considered buying (after our visit 2 years ago), I thought about buying in at another resort for less $ - - but the trading system seemed daunting - - and we do like this resort enough despite being far from home.
The resale company is Hotel Timeshare Resals, and apparently they alone offer Hyatt Gold Passport points for resales. The asking price is $29K. Does this seem high for a platinum week (2000 points)?
I haven't been looking long, but recently saw a resale for the same timeframe (week 33 or 34) for around $20K, thru another company that presumably would not offer Gold Passport points. Is the Hyatt Gold Passport program worth paying extra for?
Reassurance - - or a wake up slap if appropriate - - is needed! Thank you!
