Got an offer for The Welk. I guess the rebrand is official.

I received an offer in the mail today to stay at The Welk (tour included of course) San Diego area. It’s listed as Hyatt Residence Club on the literature. It was mailed to my Carlsbad address. I won’t be going but I just noticed the re-brand.

I've been getting those offers as targeted FB ads. For the Welk Escondido

If you go, we'll all be interested about what the Welk people are saying about any possible merger. It's probably all horse[excrement]. But it will be interesting to see which direction they're going as they shovel it.

That would be an interesting bit of intelligence gathering. I don't think we have enough interest in Escondido to spend time there, though

My understanding is that The Welk is a Hyatt Vacation Club resort (vs HRC)

You are correct. I just checked the mailer. It is HVC.

Will there be a two-tier club like the coming HGV/HVC Hilton/Diamond? Seems like it.

I get that.

But when I was selling this stuff back at the turn of the century, it was called Hyatt Vacation Club. I still have a bunch of room cards because I was really good at picking up my daily "demo room" cards for Beach House/Windward for the day. And really bad about returning them. They all say Hyatt Vacation Club on them.

I suspect there will be for a while; too many differences to work out to merge the two into a single program. A reduced price exchange in II may be the best option for now.

Just saw a Hyatt ad for Escondido this morning courtesy of my Facebook feed.
If I had not already been there -- it would look appealing.
However, I am one of those who feel it's a bit too far from the Ocean and San Diego.

But it is close to the Temecula Wine Country. :)
