The merchant for my payment was HYATT VACATION MARKETING and it did get the bonus points. This was 3 years ago, so things may be different now ...
Thanks, skj. I believe that Marriott Vacations purchased ILG (the previous owner of the Hyatt Residence Club) in April 2018, which is almost three years ago. Do you happen to recall if your transaction was before or after that acquisition? I realize that the change in HRC ownership may not be the deciding factor in how the transaction is coded.
