There is no 1 bedroom at Northstar. There are studios and then 2 bed, 2 bed w den, 3 bed, etc.Interested in Welks resale. Does someone have access to see availability of the studio at Northstar, by weekday or weekend?. Wondering how far ahead would have to book to get the studio? Are there many dates available for this year or are they gone and would have to book a one bedroom?

changing schedule is allowed in Welk system, from a full week to short days? With/without fees? Thinking about buying resale points for stays at Northstar in ski season but a full week is too long for us.

Self answering, found from a rule document. It's not possible:
Reservations cannot be canceled/changed to decrease days of a full Week reservation
when originally booked as a Week.

Self answering again. I check hyatt hotel webpage and I can book Northstar lodge for a short stay for 2023 ski season. Except for a holiday week, the price is comparable to the annual maintenance fee for the required points for the stay. So, my conclusion is that buying welk points to stay at Northstar for a short stay is not a good idea.

Only concern would be availability. I’m not clear what the source of those nights are on Hyatt.comSelf answering again.

I am also curious about this. Thinking about buying Welk points to use primarily for Northstar studios, not sure how feasible is it.

I also checked Hyatt's website and found availability for studio and 2 bedrooms the entire month of March, not sure what the source of the inventory is. Maybe Hyatt has its own hotel inventory? One week pre-paid rate for a 2 bedroom is about $4000 after tax and fees, so that's still a little more expensive than the MF for the points equivalent .

Does anyone here have a Welks account and if so, can you determine if there are any studio units at Northstar that can be booked for a two or three night stay, arriving on thursday, friday or saturday. If so when is the first date available? Are there several available?

not finding any studios via a cursory review (Jan and Feb, Friday check-in) . This somewhat makes sense since many considering how few points are required for the studio compared to the 2-bed. (Note, normal points owners can book at week at 15-mo. Priority owners can book a week as early as 22 mos. Also, any weeks booked at 15-mos can be used as rentals.)Does anyone here have a Welks account and if so, can you determine if there are any studio units at Northstar that can be booked for a two or three night stay, arriving on thursday, friday or saturday.

No mention of how the Hyatt Resorts merger effected all this? Or are these old posts?

Thank you for checking, that's good to know, and I should keep my expectation low

As of now, there is no program merger, outside of discounted II exchanges, between the HRC and HVC (nee Welk). HVC is supposed to get access to hotel points in the Fall but details have not been made available. And, I have seen nothing regarding any type of program merger. From what I have heard from management, it is quite challenging due to the way the programs operate and the way that the resorts are owned. (eg. the discussion about HSH leaving HRC could not happen in HVC since the resorts are owned by a trust.)

Do resale owner need to get their own II account or does it come with the MF?
Also if I get a biennial contract, can I deposit current year points in II and still get two years to use them for exchanges in II?
For point deposits in II, I saw in another thread that 120,000 points can get a 1 bedroom in high season and 2 bedroom in low season, but is there a choice for paid size upgrade? for example, if I only have 120,000 and can see 1 bedroom in high season, can I pay $99 for the size upgrade to a 2 bedroom if available?
