Hyatt wants you to pay $299 to attend a timeshare presentation. That might sound crazy, but there’s the potential for a good deal here.

Hyatt Residence Club Bonita Springs, Coconut Plantation Timeshare

Quick Thoughts

Paying $299 for the privilege of sitting through a timeshare presentation might not have been the first item on your list of New Year resolutions back on January 1, but this offer could still make sense for someone who’s interested in a comparatively cheap Florida getaway in the next year.

The resort fee is included as part of this package, so you’re paying $100 per night (plus tax presumably) for a stay at what appears to be a very nice resort. When checking a bunch of dates over the course of the next year, an average nightly rate of $279 or thereabouts was common, so $100 per night is a great discount in comparison.

In addition to the much lower paid rate, you can also choose between a $100 resort certificate or 10,000 World of Hyatt points. Choosing the points is a no-brainer as 10,000 points are worth in excess of $100.

There are some limitations to this offer though. For starters, the terms state that World of Hyatt member benefits aren’t offered for this type of package which means you can’t take advantage of Globalist status and/or suite upgrade awards to get put into a one bedroom suite rather than a studio suite. It also means you won’t get a 4pm late checkout, etc.

I initially thought that booking a stay over New Year’s could represent even better value, as a three night paid stay from December 29, 2021 to January 1, 2022 prices out at $594 per night before tax:

Hyatt Residence Club Dec 29-Jan 1

However, the terms state the following:

Holiday and special event periods are excluded from this offer but may be available at a premium rate.

Foiled.

Still, paying $299 in exchange for 10,000 World of Hyatt points and a three night stay which would usually cost ~$900+ seems like a decent deal if the Hyatt Residence Club Bonita Springs, Coconut Plantation is a resort you’re interested in staying at, albeit at the cost of 90-120 minutes of your life spent saying no to a timeshare.

This might be a targeted offer. I received an email about this timeshare deal and clicked through to learn more about the terms. It prompted me to enter my zip code, so out of interest as to whether it was a targeted offer, I entered our Virginia mailing address zip code which isn’t the one on my Hyatt account and it said that either my Priority Reservation Number and/or zip code was incorrect. When entering our Florida mailing address zip code, the offer showed up.

That made me think this offer was being targeted at Florida residents, but Nick got the same offer and he’s in New York. If you’re interested in this offer but it says you’re not eligible when clicking through, it would be worth calling Hyatt on +1 844.770.2582 (the phone number given in the email) in case a rep is able to offer this deal to non-targeted World of Hyatt members.
