Everyone is making up a currently non existent junk fee.

Buy CV and you get enough points to book into anything you can book in your flex season.

There is no week the week is owned by the trust. You own a right to a share of the trust. Like a mutual fund for timeshare.

You still get your deeded week at WSJ BV but no staroption. If Flex Option is modeled after after DC Program, Flex Option has no rights to anything including the Flex system, until junk fees are paid to Vistana (Starwood) before the Flex Options are accepted back into the system.

Just to clarify - you are speculating that this will happen in the future - not describe the program as it is TODAY - correct?

Yes, I said "IF" modeled after DC system. Only folks like Okiwater who bought Flex program/option can tell us what is written in their T&Cs. If I buy a timeshare, I will always want to know what my exit strategy is.

I'll repeat: no clear cohesive strategic plan or vision.

So using WSJ as an example, VGV mandatory with SO, BV non-Mandatory with right to reserve one week in your villa size in your season (or use of your week if it is fixed) and CV non-Mandatory Flex System with no use/nothing unless you pay junk fees to Vistana to become part of their FlexOption system.....do I have this right?
My head is spinning! :shrug:

Someone has offered me a CV resale but it seems to be much more complicated then it appears....off to read the FlexOption thread.
