Unusual Phone Wait

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • There is a 1-hour booking wait with early notices.
  • This differs from Hilton; the user asks if Hyatt Vacation Clubs are normal and to be contacted.

Hi, unsure if your usual booking wait time is 1 hr, but considering all the notifications about needing to book early and that your website says there's availability, this honestly surprises me. Is this normal for Hyatt Vacation Clubs?

But it certainly isn't for Hilton. Hopefully, someone reaches out.

Loss:
$249
Cons:
  • Call wait time to book is not good

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Unsure ~ availability and information isn’t very clear. And I read all terms and conditions.

Huge Pain And a Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Canceling during the cool-off period is difficult; exit dept never answers.
  • Fax is useless; certified mail was sent with no resolution; do not sign.

Please dont waste your time. We have been trying to get in contact with support in regards to canceling our contract during the cool-off period.

Granted, we sent certified mail as well but the fax number they provide to send documents is literally useless. And the exact department we need, the exit department, never answers the phone. Other people in different departments have to try to assist us as much as they can. Take my word.

DO NOT SIGN. Do not make the mistake we did.

Thank god we realized our mistake with enough time to fix it but even this has proven to be such a pain. I couldnt imagine trying to do this outside of the cancellation period when youre completely legally stuck.

Is a nightmare! Not beyond zero. Contact is almost impossible and i am losinv 3 weeks of vacation unless they do something today. But i cant even talk to them. I pay almost 3000 a year fee.

AI Highlights
  • 360,000 points to Interval, but Hyatt did not enable the transfer.
  • Points aren't showing as deposited; days spent trying; expiration 12/31/24.

My 360000pts need to be deposited to Interval but they cant help me bcz the Hyatt didnt enable that function. My points accrued are not showing to be deposited to II.

I have been at this for days spending hours a day.

Today is the last day, it will be expired 12/31/24 and sheer reason is Hyatt didnt do its job. It is a nightmare!

User's recommendation: Dont go near it! The emotional trauma is not worth dealing w Hyatt. Had it and if i lose 3000 worth of 3 weeks vacation

Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • We own the Welk Resort for 20+ years.
  • We invested in HVC; experiences have worsened.
  • Customer service is non-existent and they focus on selling.
Updated by user Nov 14, 2024

Have not heard from Hyatt lat all! Today, I received a request to complete a survey, which I did

Original review Oct 30, 2024

We have been owners of the Welk Resort for 20+ years. We bought into the HVC thinking it was the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, things have gone from bad to worse. Customer service is non-existent.

No one will listen, no one helps or cares. Their only interest is selling.

Pros:
  • Location
Cons:
  • Poor customer service

Preferred solution: A room change is all we want at this point.

User's recommendation: Would not recommend

  • 4-day, 3-night Hyatt Vacation Club reservation opened 9-14-23 Carmel.
  • Trying to reach activation to book a suite; no answer on two numbers.
Updated by user Jun 14, 2024

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. We contacted them directly with our concerns.

We believe that "Pissed Consumer" assisted significantly. Thank you.

Original review May 30, 2024

Hello. I bought a 4-day, 3-night Hyatt Vacation Club reservation, open-ended, last September on 9-14-23 for the Hyatt in Carmel.

I have been trying for 2 days to reach someone in activation to book a suite, hopefully in mid-September. No one answers the phone, at either 800-417-**** or 888-223-****. My reservation # is 204****. I have called 5 times in 2 days and waited on the phone for 10 minutes each time.

I also left two messages asking them to call me back at 612-799-****. Can someone please return my call?

Loss:
$699
Cons:
  • Unable to reach anyone
  • No one returns calls
  • On hold multiple times with no one answering

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Seems pretty shady. I am terribly disappointed in their tremendously poor customer service. Would not recommend.

Missing points for 12/31/2023 transfer

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • Tried expiring Hyatt Platinum Points transfer to Interval International; Hyatt Lounge shows 0 points, 9:00 pm PST Dec 31, 2023 alert; points gone.

Hello Team,

Around 2 pm, 12/31/2023, I started trying to transfer my Hyatt expiring points. I went to Hyatt Lounge to deposit my expiring points from Hyatt into Interval International.

Once on the site it states I have 0 points to transfer. In the upper left corner there is an alert that states: "Deposits to Interval International of expiring Platinum Points must be completed before 9:00 pm PST on Dec.

31, 2023." It's well before 9 pm, but my points are gone. Please assist me in correcting this matter.

Thank you,

Daniel L Morgan, Sr

Cons:
  • Many

Preferred solution: 1. A more user friendly website. 2. An accommodation comparable to what I initially paid for prior to Welk being sold to Hyatt. 3. A representative that speaks to my family without degrading our intelligence.

User's recommendation: DON'T BUY INTO TIMESHARES THAT CAN BE BOUGHT OUT BY OTHERS

They keep changing the website to make it “better” but it’s just more complicated. Every time I speak to customer service I get a different response. It takes hours to set up a vacation.

AI Highlights
  • Waited too long for a representative and questions were not fully answered.
  • Use requires an exchange that moves Hyatt points to Interval.

I waited way too long to get a representative and then my questions were not answered fully. I have many points with Interval International but the only way to use them is to set up an exchange and move points from Hyatt to interval, despite fact I already have points in Interval.

Interval doesnt know how Hyatt vacation club conducts business and same for Hyatt. Its very frustrating to get a vacation exchange set up.

User's recommendation: Don’t buy a timeshare from Hyatt.

Gifting

AI Highlights
  • Offered a $250 Visa Card at the update; mail promised.
  • July 22 email says use by July 31 and no longer with BofA.
  • Card not received; calls, emails unanswered.

Beware, owners checking into the resort are gifted various items to attend a owners update. I was offered a $250 Visa Card and was told they were currently out of them but would mail it to me once they came in.

This was July 9th. Fast forward to July 22nd. I get an email from Welk Gifting letting me know that I have until July 31st to use the Visa Card because they are no longer working with BofA.

Since I have not received the Visa Card yet, I have called and replied to the email twice now and no one answers. If you go to your owners update, dont leave without getting what was promised.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Nice property

I can't get ahold of anyone to make a simple change. I have been told at least 4 times that I would receive a call back from this company.

Preferred solution: Either a date change for my stay or a refund in full.

User's recommendation: I hope you have better luck getting customer service than I have.
