I don't know the details of the program, but here's the link to their website on the topic.

We own Welk San Diego a part of the HVC and I was told that there was an Exit Program, got an email from owner services and responded. All it said is that they will put you on their list and if there is anything about exiting they will be sure to let you know. I imagine all they will ever do is take it back for free!

welk used to have a fair deedback program, but IIRC they really only ever took back platinum points.

then that slowly turned into not taking back anything and ive honestly not heard of a successful WELK ownership deedback in quite some time despite it still being advertised as an option.

hyatt (og hyatt) is a different story though im not sure very many hyatt/hyatt owners are in the situation where they cant sell or give away their units and thus dont have as big a need for a deedback program compared to hyatt/welk owners!

I don't know the details of the program, but here's the link to their website on the topic.

I contacted them and received this response: "...we have registered your interest to exit your Hyatt Vacation Club ownership. At this time we do not have an exit offer for your ownership. We will contact you in the future, should an exit option become available...." Useless.

I had 2 weeks and was interested in reducing back to one. I initially got a similar response, but a few months later I called directly to one of their “specialists “ and they did buy back the week.
