I seem to remember Starwood started II bulk deposits last year around August for 2015. Hawaiian week's came through in September I believe. I was just wondering if anyone has had any II exchanges completed for WKORV or WKORV-N for 2016?

With the changes that are going on*, and the fact that Starwood has 100% control of deposits, the definitive answer is, "who knows!"

The best practice is to put in an on-going search ASAP - OGS are filled before any inventory appears online. I would not count on getting an online exchange - especially trading a small unit for a larger unit.

*Some people have predicted that Starwood will be hoarding good inventory for the Flex Points program, so that they have something to offer to owners as soon as they buy-in.

I have an OGS in II open exchanging my resale SVR for WKV memorial day weekend 2016. Hopefully I get it. One would think I would given its starting to be hot season that time of year. We love WKV and are hoping to go a second week. Plus, SVR MF are cheaper than WKV so would technically be an upgrade! :D

WKORV/WKORVN bulk deposits that made it outside of OGS(pre 2015) have typically come at the Sept/Oct and again in Feb/Mar.

The 2015 Feb/Mar bulk deposit never made it past OGS (but I know that units did become avail that were snagged via OGS). I'm not holding my breath for the Sept/Oct deposit at this point (for instant exchanges).

So like Denise said above, your best bet is to set an OGS at this point. At this time, those seem to still be grabbing units. However, its possible that could change as well.
