While you will want to check directly with Hyatt to confirm, Hyatt owners
are guaranteed their home resort and week, as long as they do it 6-months
to one-year in advance. If you want to trade for another time or resort
within the Hyatt network, you will need to familiarize yourself with
Hyatt's three usage periods:
Home Resort Preference Period (HRPP): Starting 12 months in advance of
your fixed week up until 6 months prior to check-in, Hyatt owners are
guaranteed the right to reserve their fixed week and unit at their home
resort. Reserving at your home resort during this period is free (unless
you make multiple, separate reservations). Owners can also call Hyatt
anytime during this period and exchange their deeded week for points to
reserve time at other Hyatt resorts.
Club Use Period (CUP): The last six-months before your fixed check-in
date, you are no longer guaranteed the use of your fixed week; you can
now make reservations at any other resort within the Hyatt network --
assuming there is availability and you have the sufficient number of
points.
Limited Club Use Period (L CUP): The six-months AFTER your fixed check-in
date, you can reserve at any Hyatt timeshare resort with availability,
but only within 60-days of check-in.
