Another pay to downgrade pitch. Our tour at SDO was rather pleasant even though I didn't really believe their plan to sell to big companies.Dual ownership gives me all kinds of options for booking Abound properties which fits the way I travel currently. Also adding 2,000 points wouldn't even get me to 7,000 for Executive, a status I'm already grandfathered into because of my Vistana ownership (3*) which I would give up in the process...and all that would cost me is $35K
The new equity offer you were told about seems to be similar to what they are offering on the Marriott side. Trade in Marriott weeks and they give the equivelent number of Club Points as long as you buy 2,000 new points. It may be a good option for some with high MF per point on their deeds. What is the equivelent MF per Club Point on Sheraton Flex?
I agree that having legacy Vistana products are much better than Club Points in most respects. So many more booking options. With StarOptions or HomeOptions you can compare the value of each booking method to determine which way to go.
