5 star elite owner member here

[memojujis]

I used to read this site for a long time. I stopped after i became 5 start elite owner at 649k staoptions. My membership fees are less than 10k a year. I own over a million options thanks to my 5 dessert oasis units with 148000 options and some requalified lagunamars that we use quite often . So i built my portafolio in an amazing way thanks to this site. Most of my units are cheap resales that i bough on ebay and purchase multiple westin kierlands back them requalified the resales and than sold every kierland close to the purchase price ( 17 to 20k cost to grandfather in the cheap resales) . I have a presentation coming on next week ( taking some family members with me ) and will like to know info about the westin aventuras program or whatever they had know. I do have a fat dessert willow week that i have no interest in keeping. My fees are crazy high and i see no value in it even with the trades ( rentals we do quite often in redweek). The sales guy told me they can take that and sell me a different inventory ( assuming the Aventuras stuff and would like to know if that will be better than what i get now. 148k at 1700 at 1.14 starpoint cost. Look forward to hear from you and thank you in advance to all that helped me in the past we have been to the maldives twice this year thanks to the trades we have done. Look forward for some responses. @puntomillas

Adventuras will be much more expensive than what you have right now on a per point SO basis.

Do I understand correctly that you are trading with SO from your WDW and then renting the exchange?

Since you have enough SO to keep 5* elite without the WDW you could look at giving it away if you no longer see value in it.

If you want to get rid of the WDW week, you could try giving it back to Vistana. You don't have to buy anything in return. Just unload it. See the Vistana, Westin & Sheraton Deedback program thread in the stickies.

My understanding when requal weeks you had to keep the direct purchase or else the requaled week would revert to just weeks as it was previously. I’m surprised to learn you were able to sell the dev purchased weeks in this scenario without any negative impact on the requaled weeks.

There is no requirement to hang onto the developper purchased weeks in order to maintain the requal status. Once a week is requalified it maintains this status until it is again sold.

Well, it’s been years since I looked into this but I distinctly recall learning that was not the case. Much better if not, obviously.
