I ended up with some unexpected time off and was able to borrow options from next year for a one bedroom unit at WKORV-N for ten days, arriving tomorrow!

So... if anyone out there is looking to use a few options, there appears to be plenty of availability :D

Huh??? Explain this to me again? You borrowed against next year's options? Did you pay your 2009 MFs. I thought you can only do that 3 months before the next year. Wow! Cool. :cheer:

Wow, if airfare wasn't so sky high, I'd be sooooo tempted. The kids are driving me crazy this summer at home!

Kath, you can borrow for a reservation that is 90 days out or less, so in this case it was 10 days out, so no problem if there is availability.

Aloha, wish I were going soon.
 
Good for you, TWZ! :cheer:

Did you get a good deal on airfare? :confused:
 
Excellent! Enjoy your vacation!

Ahhh. So you had an existing reservation for 7d and you extended it by 3 by borrowing? Or did you borrow for all 10d? K
 
I borrowed all 10 days. Made the reservations today, flying tomorrow :)

Airfares... well that's a different story. Luckily, I had plenty of miles and used them instead of paying waaay too much (it would have been $1,000 per ticket on United for their nonstop service from SFO to OGG).
 
How many miles is it to fly to OGG from SFO? I paid 75k miles to do a coach/first class combination on Delta.
 
Wow! Great call. Have a great time and pick up a map of the 2 properties for us please!!!

I was told by an elite rep on the phone that there's so much availability in Maui through the end of the year that SVO is allowing you to borrow options from next year beyond the three months and that you can get "bonus" nights on Maui or Princeville. I wish it did me so good, but alas no....:(

Interesting - I bet we start seeing some Starpoint "deals."
 
Wow, "bonus" nights? Perhaps I should call and try to extend my trip to Princeville...

There was a thread about it awhile ago. You can stay at both Hawaiian properties and/or extend your week with StarOptions....

Oh, yeah. That didn't work out for me. When I see someone write "bonus" I think "free". :banana:
 
Imagine my surprise when I arrived at WKORV-N and was greeted with this view in an oceanfront unit after having made my reservations only 24 hours before... Maybe it is time to buy a lottery ticket too! :whoopie:

Good for you! What unit are you in???

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
 
Sweet, twz!!

Ken555,

The promo I was talking about did offer complimentary nights. Here's the most recent email I received. There was one a few weeks ago that allowed you to split between 2 properties AND receive complimentary nights.

"Golf on four championship courses on Maui, Hawai'i, when you tee up for the three-day Aloha Team Classic tournament in October.... Plus, use StarOptions to stay five nights at The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas and receive two consecutive complimentary nights.

For villa reservations, call 888.882.8365 and mention the aloha rate code."
 
Thanks, I think I did get that same email. It was only for WKORV, right? That's probably why I didn't call (I've been there once this year already, and now planning on visiting WPORV next month). But, that's a great deal and I wish I could use it!

From the 6/15 email:

Book your Hawaiian getaway today by calling 888.882.8365 and mentioning the aloha offer.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visit two Hawaiian islands and extend your stay on us.

Looks like the people trading in via SVN end up with a better deal than the owners. That's 11 nights for 148,100 StarOptions.
