You know how to max out Star Options and Star Points by heart (Charts ? We don't need no stinkin' charts !)

Timeshare sales tours are merely scouting expeditons for your master SVO plan, resale, of course.

You take up the developers offer of free breakfast/free tickets/$100 vacation credit just so you can tell the salesman you are a TUG member ;)

You're a voluntary resort owner and you spend time thinking of your strategy when calling SVO to get the week you want deposited in II.

You root for the Cardinals for the Superbowl since there are no Starwood properties anywhere near Pittsburgh!

When someone says that they are looking to requal a RW resale 2Bd LO WMH Plat worth 148.1K SOs with a WLR EOY Gold, but can't find the SVO OM that tells you whether it is a M or V resort and you are unsure of whether the SVN, II or SFX exchange is a better value, and need to find out how many incentive SPs you can get with the EP to make it worth it, and how many 'phantom' SOs you can use for your other TS to get to 5*/PFL....

you know exactly what they are talking about.
Wow, I DO know what your talking about! :eek:

You give in and set thru a Owners Review and you know more than the sales lady and she has to refer to her manager to confirm what you are saying is true.

You see the acronym "WSJ" and think "Westin St. John" instead of "Wall St. Journal."
