Thank you for sharing your observation. I am also very happy with my Hyatt Piñon Point EOY resale. I’ve stayed at my home resort and Maui with my unit. I own at Marriott and Vistana too (both resale) but I really like the point system which allows me to book weekdays or weekends.

Question: since I own EOY odd, if I buy EOY even at the same or different resort, can I combine the two accounts? Or will I still need to pay the off year membership fee? Am I better off selling my EOY and upgrading to an EY?

Daisy

If you own two EOY units, you will not be able to combine them, and will need to pay the off years fee.

If you like the Hyatt system enough to have two EOY units, you would be better off having one every year unit.

I completely agree -- Biennial only makes sense for people who either want to "dip a toe in the water" or already have other units but want an "in" to the Hyatt/II resorts that are otherwise hard to obtain.

The answer is wholly dependent on whether you want to mostly use your Hyatt week in other Hyatts (get the least expensive 2200 point week you can), or if you want to trade through II (there are many strategies here, depends on what you want every year.)

I am finding the issue with trading a Hyatt in Interval when I want a Marriott is that Marriott preference. I see more with my Marriott than my Hyatt even far out.

I've never had any problems -- Marriott resorts pop up all the time when I'm searching. I've stayed in a few. And they're nice. But, to be fair, I don't care about the brand-name on the door -- it's all about location for me. I'd rather have the two-star in the dead-center of town than the four-star on the outskirts.

That's because Westin also has preference with Marriott. I however never use my Westin in interval. Hyatt points go further

This.

My wife and I see the world, two and three countries at a time, trading our Beach House week through II.

And basically we just ask ourselves -- "where would we like to go?" And then go do it. We're in the process of moving so everything is on hold this year. But next year I hope to knock Singapore and Malaysia off my list.
