Unfortunately I just realized that you need to bank before July 1st and not end of July. :mad: I own every other year so I wont have staroptions next year. I really wanted to make it to harborside in June 2015. Any ideas how i can still make this happen? Do I really have a chance if I tried Interval?

You don't really have any choice. If you don't bank with II (or some exchange company) or use it this year, you are going to lose the week completely.

I don't think you have a very good chance of getting Harborside in June on II. Generally, Starwood does not deposit high season weeks in II.

Your best bet is to deposit with II immediately, and put in a on-going request for the entire year. If you can't do that, then I suggest that you set your sights on a different resort. But again, if you only request one week in June, you don't have much chance of getting it.

Reserve a week and then rent it. Use the proceeds (and perhaps a bit more) to rent where you want to go for next year. Not fun, but might work out for you.

Call Starwood sales in Orlando and purchase a few new ownership weeks totaling at least 359,000 StarOptions. This gets you to 4-star Elite and extends your banking deadline until October 1 :D

Have you tried calling and appealing to them for mercy?
