Does anyone have the 2022 points chart?

 

[GTLINZ]

i don't think it has changed since 2017. At least not yet.

Thank you for all of the great information in this forum.

I am new to HRC and trying to figure out how to optimize exchanges into Interval Interntional (II). The following points redemption chart was shared in this post: Using Hyatt points in Interval International.

Is the chart above current? Are the TDI ranges or seasons the same for every II TDI?

In the case of TDI 95, a range of 90-150 means even below average TDI (<100) weeks are priced (in terms of points) as a high/peak weeks.

For TDI 95 that results in 42 out of 52 weeks being high/peak weeks.

I would have expected a more even distribution, with something like 50-80 being low, 85-115 (medium), and 120-150 (high). In the example above, it seems like it would be very difficult to "stretch your points" by traveling in the off season. There are no "low" season weeks and only 10 medium weeks.

I would love to learn how people are maximizing their exchanges into II (if it's even possible).

Depends on the destination. I am actively using Hyatt points in II to exchange into early season ski weeks in late November in Whistler which are priced at 540 points for 1br or 800 points for a 2br. Combining with free skiing on Edge cards during that time, it's a fantastic deal.

So I just bought 1 week deeded of a 2 bedroom at the Hyatt Coconut Beach (Bonita Springs), week 50. I assuming I have no points but would like to learn about the Hyatt program as I want to know what I can do with my ownership should I not reserve that week. Can someone please direct me to a "primer" on owning Hyatt TS?
Thanks

You own a Bronze week. Either you reserve week 50 in your unit -- any time between one year and six months in advance of your December week, or you "cash your week in" and get 1300 points to spend in the Hyatt or Interval system. At six months, your unit is "cashed in" whether you like it or not.

If you choose points, you can drop them into Interval, where they are good for two years. If you want to stay in a Hyatt, you may chose any week at any unit -- as long as the total cost is less than 1300 points.

What does 1300 points get? Sadly, the answer is "depends." If you trade down in size or season, you get more time. If you want to trade up, you get less time.

I typically got two weeks each year by trading down to one bedrooms and studios.

Scoopkona wht is week 49 Hyatt Sierra worth? if i put it into Interval, will I see other Hyatts pop up. Yes i know it is a low week.

Scoopkona wht is week 49 Hyatt Sierra worth? if i put it into Interval, will I see other Hyatts pop up. Yes i know it is a low week.

If I recall, 1100 points. Just look it up "HRC point charg High Sierra." You will never see any Hyatts in Interval with your Hyatt week. You trade Hyatt for Hyatt on the Hyatt website and nowhere else. (Keeps people from gaming the system.)

 

[GTLINZ]

You cannot pull Hyatt thru Interval. If you could , you could conceivably get a week worth more than 1300/870/430 points for those values.

As Scoop said, they wisely closed that loophole.

 

[Jackieb]

I see Hyatt with my Marriott and other timeshares in Interval today. Hyatt Pinone, Sirena del Mar, today. Wonder how that is coming through. Just checked it a few mins ago

Well i see some Hyatt properties, even without owning one.

What they are saying is, in II you cannot use Hyatt to exchange into Hyatt. This is because Hyatt wants their owners to use their internal system for trading between their own resorts instead of using Interval International. So the only people that can see Hyatt in II are people who are trying to exchange from a non-Hyatt resort such as Marriott.

HRC owners cannot see other HRC resorts that are on II.

My apologies - i should have been more clear in my statement. I assumed this thread, being in the Hyatt forum, was talking to Hyatt owners.

You cannot see Hyatt availability thru your Hyatt interval membership. They closed the loophole where you could save Hyatt points booking Hyatt thru the Hyatt interval portal.

Sorry for the very dumb noob question. I’m not a timeshare owner yet but am interested in HRC. I’d like to see how far my points would go on II if I purchased a Diamond week (2200) but understand that I can’t do that without already being an owner.

Am I correct or is there a listing somewhere of how far HRC points go at specific II properties (I realize TDI is on play too). Thanks!

See post number 5 above. For example, any two bedroom in II would cost 1,300 points, except in low season, when it may cost less.

You can purchase a Diamond week without already being an HRC owner. I bought two of them on the resale market as a first time owner, but one 2,200 week provides plenty of flexibility especially during non-peak times. If trading within the HRC system, you can usually get a 1-week studio for around 430 points or a 1 bedroom for around 800 points. I’m on my phone, so don’t have it in front of me, but the HRC trading points/booking chart by property and room type is posted in the forum files.

2200 points will get anywhere between one and six weeks (even more is technically possible). TDI isn't really in play except for the fact that low-season II weeks cost less, and therefore give you even more time.

I have one 1880-point week, and have more than enough points for my wife and I. So, while 2200 points is the most efficient way to wring the most time from one maintenance fee, a 2000 or 1880 point week can ALSO work for you, especially if you can get one on the cheap. And you don't mind taking merely four or five possible weeks instead of six.

 

[Commomc20]

Thanks all. So with 2200 points, I’d be able to trade for any property I find in II, including (for instance) Westin St John, Aulani, Westin Princeville, etc?

 

[Commomc20]

I should have added, any two bedroom unit at a resort in II with 2200 points.

Technically, yes. Hyatt can pull virturally anything. I use interval at least once a year with my Hyatt ownership. You CANNOT use interval to book Hyatt properties at lower point values - they block you from gaming the system. So by default you are looking to trade into other systems ...

What you need to understand is that some of the better systems have an internal priority. I will use Marriott as an example, they are likely the biggest. Other Marriott owners have access to Marriott INTERVAL inventory before you will ever see it in Interval. So a lot of inventory is snagged by Marriott owners using INTERVAL before it became available to non-Marriott owners.

I go off season and have been able to book what I want without searching. I believe from reading posts over the years that you are better off putting in searches and will be able to get some great trades - but it will be work for you. Others who do this can tell you better than me (i.e Scoop) and hopefully will post here also. I just want you to understand that althought Hyatt will trade into most anything, you are often behind the curve on inventory from other systems.

 

[Commomc20]

Thanks much that is helpful. So Hyatt points go far in II, I just might not find some of the properties I want available (ie certain Westins like Saint John, Maui, or Kauai) because I’ll be behind Marriott owners, is that right?

If I want to trade for certain Marriott/Westin properties, am I better off getting a Marriott timeshare, or can I still get those if I go slightly off peak?

If you really want to use interval pretty exlusively for Marriott properties, you would see more inventory with a Marriott ownership. I am not sure exactly how it works - but I think Marriott inventory is seen in Interval for 2-3 weeks only by Marriott owners then if not taken become available to anyone else who has the power to see it. So a lot of high demand locations are grabbed before they could ever be seen by you. How that works may also depend on its age (how far in advance it is deposited). You can go search "Marriott preference" in the Marriott forum to learn more.

But be aware when I say Marriott - i mean Marriott (not Westin or other "now Marriott" properties that are being bought and brought under Marriott corporate - it is likely Westin also has their own internal priority within Interval). I am certainly not familiar with each system, but I do know that is how Marriott works. This "priority" within Interval has always been based on weeks - whereas Hyatt has always been points and is a different animal.

If you want to have access to Hyatt internal exchanges and Interval, Hyatt would be a good choice. You are not tied to a full week with internal Hyatt trades. With Interval, you are tied to a full week. I really enjoying using my ownership for both Hyatt and Interval. Maybe you start with Hyatt and if you get an appetite for Marriott trades you also buy a trader week for interval. You can also search about "trader" in the Marriott forum. I think most folks strongly suggest a lockoff and you may be able to upgrade your 1br to trade into a 2br and the studio may be able to be upgraded trading into a 1br. The idea is to get 2 weeks out of ownership of one week.

Again i am not an expert in Marriott or other systems but have thought about getting a Marriott trader in the past and read up a bit on it.
