First Time Resale Buyer just doing research... There is likely a thread out there already, but I'm struggling to find it if so. I am looking at buying a Mandatory SVN Unit. I was hoping someone can point me in the direction of rules that accompany this. Main Questions are below... I...

Hi all, Where can I find a copy of the Ownership bylaws, governing docs, HOA docs, etc... I am about to close on a property with Westin Lagunamar and just got the closing documents, and want to review the docs before signing. If they are in public record, what county are they recorded in...

Hello! I apologize if this becomes very lengthy, but I am in quite the pickle and I am hoping someone here can help me begin to grasp the lay of the land and what my options are here. Sooooo......years ago, when I was dating my now ex-husband, he decided on a whim to purchase a timeshare from...

Now that Marriott and Starwood are one big family, I don’t think I still need both credit cards. If I want to have only one card, which one should I keep? For paying maintenance fees, is it any different using one over the other? I do own weeks in both systems.

I received an email from Marriott about them being hacked and losing my data. I was also contacted by Boughton Law, who has started a class action in British Columbia, Canada. Has any else had this problem or been contacted about the class action? If anyone is concerned about this, Boughton...

I am currently an owner of the Westin Nanea in Maui. I am getting close to purchasing my second timeshare and wondered what this board would have to say about where. I am considering picking up a 2BR at WKORV in Maui, as we do so love the island. However, I have been peeking at Aruba...

Missed the July 1 cutoff to bank my StarOptions and have 44,375 remaining for the calendar year 2018. Any ideas what to do with those StarOptions, can I see them? I really don't want to lose them. Thanks.

HI :-) Does anyone know if when you redeem Starpoints in the Starwood loyalty program, if they include the resort fee? I know they do in the Hyatt system and didn't want to assume this is the norm :-)

So, I'm new to timeshare. I've never owned one, but I do know about some timeshare systems. I got persuaded into a timeshare presentation at Sheraton Vistana Resort. (On the plus side, everyone was very polite and patient. I didn't feel super rushed to decide...even though the offer was for...

Does anyone think Marriott would ever combine Marriott Vacation Club with the Vistana timeshare program? They did it with Marriott and Ritz Carlton destination clubs. They are linking Marriott Rewards with the SPG points program. So I wonder if they might combine the StarOptions program with...

The stories of how ARDA, a trade association that represents the interests of timeshare developers, and alleges to represent the interests of timeshare owners, increase in number and magnitude every year. It is clear, ARDA'S most influential constituency are timeshare developers, who are one of...

This is a unit I own and reserved last summer and with a crazier-than-expected work schedule I completely forgot and now hoping someone can use this week! It's a 1br premium unit for one week, Saturday to Saturday 7/22-7/29 for $450 (less than $65/night!). Let me know if you are interested...

I know that in the past I have gotten letters about 2 for 1 promos when renewing my interval international membership. Has anyone seen any of these recently targeted to either Vistana, Four Seasons or Royal Rosorts owners? Typically, I've seen these targeted to Starwood/Vistana owners but they...
