I have a Sheraton Vistana Villages Gold Season, Every odd year, first usage 2017, Bella Section, Star Options pass to new owner, 67000 StarOptions. This is not a lockoff but thats good because the maintenance fees are less.

I will pay the 2016 maintenance fee.

The StarOptions can be combined with your StarOptions.

I knew you were going to ask me that!:ignore: I was hoping someone would know. I will go through my bank records and post it here in a few minutes.

You can log onto your Acct. at www.mystarcentral.com and look it up.

Or go to the maintenance fee database at the top of the Starwood forum, and look it up.

I don't know if this is right?

I found a payment for $702,60 on my December 2014 Credit card bill. I think that is correct.


**I just checked and the fees above are correct. $702.60. I tried to pay for next year but it shows a zero balance.

Did you see the 2 ways to look it up that I posted in #4 above?

Just checking -- the MFs are billed every year, yet usage (and the 67,000 StarOptions) are only available every other year. Is that correct?

Half the MF + $30 + the SVN fee is billed every year, and usage is every other year, so $702.60 is the fee every year.

If you add the 67000 StarOptions to your ownership they could give you enough points for a two bedroom prime time-- in the fancier resorts --every other year.

I have had a few inquiries and I wasn't sure of the right answers. So I checked with Starwood. This is the information you will need to make an informed decision.

First use is 2017. The maintenance fees are paid every year. They are 1/2 of the annual maintenance fees paid yearly. The Bella Section is definitely Mandatory for StarOptions to transfer to the new owner.
You would be responsible for the 2016 fees of $702.61 and the closing costs from LT Transfers.

Contract 718331
Gold Biennial odd year
67,100 StarOptions
Unit number unit 02105
Non lockoff two bedroom
purchased September 2014
Maintenance fees $509.00
Taxes $59.61
SVN fees $134.00
Starwood fees are
Deeded week 37
Floats 1-6,18-22, 35-50

I'll pay Maintenac fees

I'll pay this year's maintenance fees of 702.68. I think they're due in December.

What can I do to make this more attractive??

I think the thread got waylaid with conversations about Starwood. This is a really nice resort and it comes with 67000 StarOptions every other year.

Would you like me to add that you are paying next year's maintenance fee to the first post for you?

Maybe respond to your email. Sent email. No response yet. In the meantime, I ran out of money because I'm paying all my MFs right now. :(

I still have it!

I listed it on Redweek. I've been getting lots and lots of emails but, so far, this week is still available.
