They had two voluntary weeks at Vistana Resort, all bought developer, and it was done as trade in and now only have Sheraton Flex. I think you undersell the attachment most owners have to their specific resort outside of Hawaii and TUG. And honestly, for how they use their timeshare, Flex is a good product and is improving their timeshare experience being able to book a 2 bedroom with multiple view options for Christmas at Sheraton Steamboat Springs. Next year will likely be Christmas in Kauai when before they were primarily in Florida and exchanging for points (which still have value if you take advantage of certain ways to game Bonvoy).What did your parents “upgrade” from?
I think most owners never gave up their highly desired units for flex ownerships. That inventory would still remain in the VSN. Places like WSJ and HRA are currently not in any flex program. I wonder if they are holding their inventory for those resorts for a combined product?
I think the VSN will operate just fine for a few years. I suspect once a combined product rolls out people will want the ability to book both brands and it may turn more people onto giving back what they own to “upgrade”, if that’s something they would have to do.
