[ 2022 ] Became 5* Elite today....

[jimwu921]

Just opened up Vistana app and realized the system recognized me as a 5* elite. I got all my contracts through resale so no way I could be requalified without buying direct. Those must got automatically enrolled along the Abound conversion. Anyone seeing that too?

You are just so special!

No change in mine.

I checked my account. I was 4 star. Now it’s listed as 3 star!
I own Harborside.

Holy Frijoles! I’m 5* elite, too! Woo Hoo!!!

 

[jimwu921]

Are those mandatory and brought through resale?

The life span is probably very short but enjoy while you can

I should have enough Abound points to be either presidential or chairman’s club, so I’ll be good.

I am listed as 5* as well (was 3*).

Anyone who is listed as 5 star, were you expecting to be chairman in the abound program? And do any of you have Harborside? I’m still floored I was Dropped to 3 star!!

Where on the site do you see your Elite status?

I also can't figure out where to look for this Elite status on the Vistana website. Maybe it doesn't list anything because I have no status?

I'm not sure, but I tried banking (since 3 star elite gets until October 1st), and it said I needed to bank by July 1st -- so I assume I didn't get upgraded.

Darn! I would have loved to have a way into executive level. I'm just 550 Abound points shy.

This is my thought as well. I think I confirmed this by virtue of trying to bank and I have the normal VSN member banking. I have 201,300 staroptions which would have qualified me if I bought direct. So it appears there was some logic to how they did the upgrades / downgrades.

Congrats to those that got a lil boost!

I also checked via the banking option and confirmed that I have 4-star elite status. All of my units were purchased via resale and were not requalified. This maps to "Presidential Owner" Level in Abound.

Either via Vistana app on the phone or website star option banking page. Your banking fee will be waived.

No Harborside here. That might have to do with Harborside not with Abound at initial launch. 5* should be converted to chairman in the new system.

 

[Erinaadyn]

How many star options have you 4 star in Vistana?

 

[dsmrp]

No change for me. We were 3 star and are still 3 star. Only place I could find this is in the Banking page.
All my (2) units are either direct buy or retro; I don't have any mandatory resales.

Thank you! I could see it when I went to the banking page. I haven't tried the app yet.

 

[teddyo333]

How many star options have you 4 star in Vistana?

391,100 Star Options (310,100 in Abound). I think 81K may have been excluded because it was added to VSN after 8/9.

Harborside doesn't currently qualify for Abound so it wouldn't raise anyone up. Within Abound currently you would be whatever they are converting 3 star into. Within Vistana through you should still get all the benefits associated with 4 star. It's a mess isn't it.

Deleting post because I posted a similar question on the Marriott forum, so avoiding double posting....

My resale non requalified mandatory ownership has me at 3*elite today.
