@Wolfgheist But… you can only combine them together to use at any resort 9 months out. You can only use the 12 month booking window for your specific home week. No combining to use 12 months out. In other posts, you have lots of questions about 12 month booking windows versus 9 months. Wanted to clarify this for you.

Wanted to add to the above post that the two deeds will show up in the same account as long as they are deeded the same (with the same names on each).

From my understanding, 'home week' is a misnomer that is what got me confused in the beginning. It seems that 'home week' actually means 'home season'. Any week in the gold season is a home week for a gold deed. Any week in the platinum season is a home week for a platinum deed.
If that is correct, then my question is what if I have both? Can I book in gold season with my gold deed and use my platinum points? Can I also book in platinum season with my platinum deed and use my gold points combined with platinum points? @RX8

If you own both, you can thus reserve a week in gold season in the unit size you own at your home resort and then can reserve a second week in platinum season in the unit size you own at your home resort during the home resort reservation window. They aren't really points at this point. They don't really become points to combine for a single reservation until the nine month club window.

If you are booking during the club window (usually this is 276 days or less) then you can use any points in your account (saved points, current year points, and even borrow points from the following year). It doesn't matter which deeds you have just the number of points in your account.

At the bottom of your dashboard it will always tell you if you can book Home Week (season). Since I never use mine, I always book Club season and borrow, mine always shows ineligible.

I don't own a fixed week, but I did explore buying a week 51 Hawaii resale a few years back. Week 51 is obviously platinum. I was told by HGV that with the event week deeds like that you only get to use your 12 month option for the exact fixed week, not any platinum week. That was a verbal confirmation, so not 100% certain thats correct.

I own an affiliate with a fixed Platinum week. You'll find that a bit at the Carlsbad resorts where the Gold season is generally float and Platinum season is typically fixed summer weeks.
No..."Home Week" is a type of HGVC reservation (as opposed to Home Resort, bHC Priority, Club, or Open Season Reservations). It is true that Home Week reservations can only be made for weeks in the the season you own.
No. You can't use points from another deed, nor saved or borrowed points from the same deed to make a Home Week reservation.

When your points are all in one bucket, you just need the amount of that years point to make the home season reservation. HGVC doesn’t delineate the difference between the two. You can’t use borrowed or saved points to make a home season reservation. I have 2 Vegas platinum 2 bedroom deeds at Flamingo and Boulevard (both worth 11,200 points). If I make a home season reservation at The Flamingo, it takes 11,200 points from my bucket. If I owned a gold season, it still wouldn’t matter as long as I had the required same year points in my account.
HGVC doesn’t see any difference in points. Platinum, gold, different deeds or properties, once they are in your account on Jan 1, they are all the same and can be used anyway you can.

I believe this is not correct. HGVC doesn’t see a difference in same year points. As long as you have the required same year points (not borrowed or saved), you can make your home season reservation.

You will see them with ski weeks at Breckinridge and Park City. There some Japanese holiday weeks in Hawaii as well.
You may be right…I’m not going by personal experience. But someone else reported being unable to make a Home Week reservation online even though there were sufficient current year bHC points in their account (I believe it was at either the Quin or W57).
When they called to make the reservation the CSR told them that they had already used the points from that deed.

I think that’s a bHC issue and you can’t use regular HGVC points in a bHC reservation before the club booking window.
It may well be a bHC issue, but the points they were attempting to use to make the Home Week reservation were also bHC…just from another bHC resort.
They were surprised that HGV could actually tell which points are being used even though they only show us point buckets..

How does HGVC know which deeds to take from? If I make an RCI reservation 2 years out, how doe they know which deeds to take it from? There’s no option to choose at any point, at least I haven’t seen one. Doesn’t make sense to me, but that doesn’t mean I’m right. I guess once you get to 9 months it really doesn’t matter as most would be making club bookings anyway.
I’m hoping that whoever this happened to joins in. But my memory is that they borrowed their W57/Quin points and then bought another bHC deed.

I know on the HGVC side that they don't which track which pts are pulled from which deeds. I can not comment on bHC pts but don't you also own HCNY?
Just W57 and the Quin.

OK, no idea then because I thought that others had previously reported they couldn't tell where the points were drawn from on the bHC too.
That was my understanding as well. And I think I'll return to that belief unless the person who was unable to book their bHC Home Week reservation chimes in (or I find out differently from personal experience).
