New Starwood offer - use Starpoints to extend stay

[Henry M.]

I just got this in my e-mail today. I have a stay booked at WKORV in September. I thought it might be of interest to others. You can only reserve the additional nights within 60 days of the planned stay and the stay must be completed by December 20.

This offer is better than trying to stay at the Sheraton or Westin for the same number of points.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You've already secured your reservation for a calming retreat to The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas on Maui, Hawai'i. Now, consider extending your visit with two exceptional, limited-time offers.
For the first time ever, use Starpoints for stays at this resort.

Recharge for an extra evening for just 12,000 Starwood Preferred Guest® Starpoints® per night in an island-view studio villa. Or, with this offer, redeem 48,000 Starpoints for a four-night stay and receive your fifth consecutive night complimentary.



Optimize your stay with 50 percent off of seasonal rates per additional night.

Whether you desire more snorkeling in blue waters, another luau feast or simply additional time to lounge poolside, you can expand your moments of personal renewal. No matter how still or spirited you'd like your getaway to be, additional nights are 50 percent off seasonal rates.

12K SPs for an IV studio - and can use the 5th nite free benefit - 48K SPs for 5 nites. Not too bad for someone with SPs to use - and doesn't care about unit location/size. I wonder if this is going to become a regular offer - looks like SVO has plenty of WKORV studios available during off-season.

I got an e-mail from SVO last week with the following offers for Maui. Looks like they've got some vacant villas this fall. I'm booked up, but like the idea of being able to use Starpoints for SVO. Hopefully they will have similar deals in the future.

More villas mean more opportunity for you. If you have always wanted to visit Maui, now is the time. To ensure you can take advantage of these just-released weeks through December 20, 2007, you may borrow StarOptions from your 2008 usage year.

Ooh, I'd definitely be interested in doing that if I could piggyback it with my current reservation and not have that check out/check-in lapse of 4 hours. I hate having to check out at 11am on that last day given that most flights home leave from 5-11pm in the evening. If I could book a "free" IV room for Saturday, I'd be grateful to be able to spend that last afternon/early evening lounging at the pool instead of driving around Maui with all my luggage until it's time to go home.
