there are many times you see a resale being offered with x amount of starpoints with the deal. so they can transfer the starpoints from one svo to another svo,at a different address.
I've seen a lot of erroneous information in ads. For instance, the owner of the unit I am currently buying on the resale market initially advertised the great flexibility of the SVO system, including being able to convert to StarPoints to stay at "hotels around the world."
Later, when we determined that resale owners do not get this flexibility, she offered to transfer 240k StarPoints to me to compensate for losing the StarOptions Conversion ability + another 80k if I paid the 2008 MFs. I would have taken her up on that, but she called SPG and they said for a transfer the 2 parties had to live at the same address. She then offered to change her address to mine to accomodate the transaction, but I declined because of the risk of being audited and having both of our accounts closed for fraudulent activity.
