I'm sure if you did a straw poll on this site you could find the owners of 20+% of those as they have picked them up with the intent to (or have) Requaled them.

I did an analysis of the Platinum 3-season deeds available and I believe there are about 250 annual 2BR 3-season Platinum deeds in existance, total. All of the other 3-season units were sold either as 1BR or as EOYs.

I'll bet that TUG members own at least 20% of them.

Oooh, let's see if we can find out. I own one 2-bedroom plat SDO unit. Anyone else?

Lets set up a poll and ask...

The unit on your deed must be.
1064 1072 1081-1100 2064-2072

The week must be
1-21 50-52

[CORRECTION: To be a true Platinum week at Sheraton Desert Oasis the unit number must be in this range-
1064, 1072, 1081-1100, 2064, 2072, 2081- 2100, 3064-3072, and 3081-3100
AND
the deeded week must be in this range: 1-21, 50-52]

OK, so looking around it seems the poll functionality has been disabled in this form :(

I own an EOY Odd Plat. Or are you only interested in the EY deeds?

In addition to my EY 2 bedroom Plat Plus week, I also own a EY 1 bedroom premium Plat Plus week. At one point, I also own two EY 1 bedroom standard weeks, but I've since divested myself of those two units.

I think all would be useful as that kinda benchmarks the ratio of 2Br and 1Br and the EY / EOY, after all, if considering the retro a SDO 2BR P+, then that is a pool that restricts further after you back out the 1Brs and EOYs

Hmmmm, not sure if you can vote twice in the SAME category, but go ahead and vote once, and then I will add another vote to that category. That's how I get the polls to come out the way I want them to... ;)

Anywhere but home, as often as possible.
Owner of 3x SDO Platinum 148,100 Weeks

I own 3 Platinum 148,100 weeks... bought them all at the same time, resale, and then immediately re-qualified them back into Starwood (for us it was worth the money as I find it easier to trade by Staroptions rather than II).

I did an analysis, and dollar for dollar, SDO "true platinums", bought resale, and then re-qualified, makes a lot of sense both in terms of cost and ease of use.

I know many will disagree with this approach, but it worked for us.

Cheers,
Westin Owner

Did you vote in the poll at the top of the thread? Please vote, and I can add 2 more votes to the category for you.

Yes, some of us were curious about how many true Plat units are owned by Tuggers. Did you see the first post on this thread? The conversation started on another thread and then Denise created the poll.
