Ownership Buckets

I am currently at Lagunamar. I was talking with some friends about January inventory at Lagunamar.

I own Platinum Lagunamar weeks so i should be able to book available January properties with staroptions. On January 7, 2024, I show no availability for a week stay.

Friend one has some Lagunamar developer gold weeks. On January 7, 2024, she sees no availability for a week stay.

Friend two owns Gold resale weeks. He could book a Lagunamar week in a 2 bedroom starting 1/7/2024.

This makes me feel like resale owners are in a separate bucket.

My final thought is that we own three consecutive lock off weeks in some specific rooms, I think in March. VSN allows us to trade through Star Options, Abound, or Interval International. I suspect that when I trade, my actual room gets deposited into whatever program I am trading into for someone else to book.

Does this make sense?

January, weeks 1-4 are good season. You own Platinum.

It is only 3 months from now. Not in the Home 8-12 month window.

Were all the searches dome at the same time? It could be that there was a cancellation.

yes all searches done at same time. My Gold resale week sees availability Jan 5,6,&7 where others who own Developer Gold and Developer Platinum see nothing

I would expect the resale gold week to pull from different inventory. VSN inventory is what VSN members haven't booked yet at the resort.

Yes, just mildly surprising that it hasn't been made available to others, since I am past my home priority period for January.

Maybe resale units get a 10 or more month priority

Voluntary inventory should somewhat be available for resale owners as long as they haven't reserved. I don't know how they allocate, but you really have a 12 month home resort booking period with a voluntary resale.
