There are exceptions to the rules but here’s the basics for the majority of resorts
HGVC owners have three reservation windows:
(1) Home Week window (for most HGVC resorts this is a 3 month period beginning 12 months prior to check-in and ends 9 months prior to check-in)
The home week window give owners a three month priority access into their home resort (from 12 months to 9 months before check-in). However when booking a stay during the home week window you must reserve the exact unit size and type in the season that you purchased (for example studio, 1 bedroom plus, etc) for the exact number of days owned (full week, 4 nights, etc) based on the single fixed checkin date at your home resort. There is no flexibility. Your full point allocation is used during the home week window.
(2) Club Reservation window (for most HGVC resorts this begins 9 month prior to check-out through 1 day prior to check-in; generally requires a three night minimum)
HGVC only works like a point based system during the Club Reservation window and generally begins 9 months before checkout for most resorts. During the Club reservation window anyone can book any season, resort (including their home resort), unit size and/or type for any number of days (minimum of 3 nights). This means all HGVC resort owners have an equal chance at booking at any HGVC resort during the Club Reservation window. Expect lots of competition during peak travel season and at high demand resorts.
(3) Open Season Cash Rental Reservation window (cash rentals begin 30 days before check-out through 1 day prior to check-in; generally requires a two night minimum; available to members for their personal use only; however not available at all resorts)
