Can several Hyatt weeks be added to schedule a Diamond week? (by Carvan A.):

The short answer is yes. Hyatt offers a flexible system that allows you to use your fixed week or "bank" it internally for Hyatt points. A gold week will get you 2000 points and a silver week will get you 1800 points. Together you have 3800 points to use internally. A diamond week (2 bdrm in highest demand season) will require 2200 points so you can use some of your 3800 points and still have points left over. You can use 1300 of the remaining points to exchange for an II 2 bdrm timeshare. The Hyatt system also allow you to go for three or four days at a Hyatt resort using the Hyatt points. This is, in my opinion, the best system out there except for the fact that one does not have as many Hyatt options as Marriott, for example, offers.
