Had an update this week and they really pushed 4 Star Elite. I was curious if anyone was 4 Star Elite and if they see any benefit.

I'm 5-Star Elite.
Benefits I find useful (and I use) as a 5-Star Elite:
- Early check-in of 2:00 pm
- Late check-out of 12:00 noon
- Bank StarOptions as late as December 31
- No fee for banking StarOptions
How hard do you have to push to get the early check in/late check out? I agree that the extended banking deadline and no banking fee are both useful.
We were thinking, if we did this, to purchase something on the resale market and have them requalify knowing we would need a minimum spend. Has anyone had success doing this? If so, any tips?
I've received it every time I've requested in Hawaii and that's been at least a dozen trips or more. I've also received it at WMH the one time I requested it. I did not receive it at Westin Riverside and my understanding is that it is rarely granted at Riverside due to their small number of villas.
Good to know. We're heading to WKORVN at the end of May, and early check in & late check out would be great!
I'm only 3-star elite, but I've always understood the benefits of 4-star elite to be minimal.
Question for those who are 5-star, do you get the 5 suite night awards each year with Marriott Bonvoy? Or only if you stay the actual 50 nights?
Yes, was just wondering if by any chance being Platinum through Vistana 5-star gave you the 5 suite night awards/annual choice benefit without having to actually stay 50 nights. I had read something about that when Bonvoy first launched, but figured it was false!Marriott Bonvoy is the hotel program separate from Vistana timeshares. The suite night awards are when you get 50 hotel nights. Vistana timeshares stays however, do count towards that 50.

Lately I’ve been booking an extra day or try and find a cheap rate online for an extra Night. That’s the best late checkout you can get!Good to know. We're heading to WKORVN at the end of May, and early check in & late check out would be great!
Does anyone know if there is something in writing somewhere that states benefits for being 4 or 5 star elite owners?

Interesting in that chart that they no longer offer Bonvoy status with 3 or 4 star. As we have discussed previously the waitlist feature is useless.
Don't you get Bonvoy Gold automatically if you have a developer purchase? I don't think it was ever a 3* or 4* benefit.
The 5x SNAs are one of the choices of threshold gifts you can choose amongst at 50 and 75 nights credited. Those happen to be the thresholds for achieving Platinum and Titanium status through nights credited.
