Thanks for this very informative thread...

I have another Four Seasons Residence Club question:

I'm interested in Troon/Scottsdale during Platinum weeks, but have read about someone "upgrading" from a Gold week and don't know what that means -- a private swap, or a lucky opening after Platinums allowed their priorities to expire, or a one-time payment to Four Seasons? A Gold week purchase would of course be a lot cheaper, but I really want to be there during winter. I have no idea what kind of offer, if any Four Seasons would make to convert a Gold Week obtained from a third party into a Platinum -- probably not likely, based on what I've read about their handling of ROFR.

(Well, I guess that's about four questions blended into an internal monologue!)

Thanks in advance for any info!

Hello

We moved a Gold week to a Platinum week last year. Our Cdn Thanksgiving is the last week in Platinum - we had the week after that we moved up. IF space is available (so probably won;t work for the best weeks in the summer when there seems to be a shortage ) you pay a nominal amount ( call to confirm - like $125 or $175 ).

I am guessing that this is easier for an owner and maybe less so for a renter - but don't know for sure.
