Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

BCA's Summary and Analysis:

Our complaint history for this company shows that the company responded to and gave proper consideration to most complaints. However, one or more complaints are unresolved meaning the company failed to properly address the complaint allegations or their response was inadequate.

Customer Complaint

This complaint concerns unfair business practices and rigid exit barriers by Hyatt Vacation Club regarding ownership ID 1556992. Hyatt obstructs a reasonable resolution to a product no longer viable for my family, creating a "merry-go-round" of corporate redirection. Procedural Failures Following a previous BBB complaint, Customer Advocacy Director Hutch Farrell explicitly directed me to the Exit Team to cancel. I submitted the required forms, but on October 6, 2025, I received a denial from Wanda. She claimed no exit options existed and suggested selling externally. Predatory Market Control Hyatt's recommendation to sell externally is disingenuous. Hyatt maintains a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on external sales, creating a predatory "catch-22": they refuse to take points back directly, yet reserve the legal right to block any private sale I might broker. Consumer Violations Hyatt frames this as "Real Estate" to avoid standard return policies, though these are intangible points with zero utility outside the Hyatt ecosystem. Consumers shouldn't be held in perpetuity to an unusable contract. Forcing me to third-party markets while controlling them via ROFR prevents a fair resolution. Requested Resolution I acted in good faith, offering to sign over the ownership for Hyatt to resell. On October 31, I requested management intervention. I seek an immediate release from contract ID 1556992. I request Hyatt cease these circular tactics and provide a straightforwar Resolution Sought I am seeking an immediate and direct release from contract ID 1556992. I request that Hyatt cease these circular redirection tactics and provide a straightforward surrender of the ownership.

Mr. Small, Our records show your ownership contract was transferred to a private party on April 21, 2016. You no longer have a Hyatt Vacation Club ownership contract under your name. Best regards, Hutch Farrell Director, Customer Advocacy

Mr. Wille, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. I don't know that we have an avenue for you to exit. The Kaanapali Beach location is not currently offering an exit option. I will circle back to you next week with an update. Best regards, Hutch Farrell Director, Customer Advocacy
