Hi All,
I tried to look around a little bit and find some info, but was unsuccessful.
We love going to Maui and have stayed at both the original Westin as well as Nanea. With our several trips and interest in going in the future, we are looking to buy some sort of property with Star Options.
My question lies in the high maintenance fees associated with Maui resorts, and I was wondering how pooling properties from several locations works. For instance, if I were to buy a 1 bed every other year property in Hawaii and something in Kierland, how would my points be usable? Is it relatively easy to redeem points from Kierland in Maui, or is it a little difficult because you need to book within 8 months? Also I saw that you had preference at your home property at the 8-12 month mark just for a whole week, and couldn't use two long weekends for instance. Is that true?
Additionally, if I am short points in my Maui property but want to use a 2 bedroom one year, can I pull from Kierland or no? Are the SO pooled, or are they individual and I would need to make two different bookings?
Thank you in advanced!
