I didn't bank them, I forgot. can I deposit into Interval to extend the usage?
 
You can't deposit StarOptions unless you still have the entire VOI in tact. Have you used some of the StarOptions for this year? If not, you should be able to deposit the week. If so, you need to find a way to use them.
 
You may be able to use them for resort credit if you have an upcoming stay booked for 2026.

I have the entire star option available.
 
how would this work?
Assuming you have qualified SO (ie from a developer purchased unit or retroed resale VOI) you can convert the SO to resort credit at the rate of 9000 SO = $110.

You’ll attach this to a future reservation. You must have an existing confirmed reservation at a participating Vistana resort.


Call Vistana Owner Services to request the conversion. Specify the number of credits/SO and the reservation details. You can also do this online via the chat feature (I’ve used the chat feature - it works well).

They’ll deduct the SO and attach the credit to your reservation; you’ll receive an email confirmation/receipt. Present it at check-in with the concierge to activate the credits.
