Well, I guess everyone has to get old at some point. My parents have owned at SVR since the mid-90's (pre-Starwood days). They did opt-in when Starwood created the SVN program and have been using their weeks (2BR EY and 2BR EOYE) every year at SVR (they did visit SDO one year when I dragged them along for Christmas).
Due to health concerns (heart issues for my mother, a cancer scare last year for my dad) it is looking like their traveling days may be over as my mother is being advised not to fly. This will be the first year that they have not used their weeks since they purchased and they will be banking the SO.
The topic came up this weekend about whether I would like to take them over - free of course. I do have a sister who isn't interested in them so it's either I take them over or they go back to Vistana.
Both units come with 81,000 SO (so effectively 121,500 SO with EOY adjustment). SO would transfer to me even though it is a voluntary resort.
Should I pick them up?
I don't have an emotional attachment to them so that isn't a consideration at all. We have plenty of family budget room even with our current TS (SVR EY, WKORV-N, EOYO, SDO EOYE and Flex - 67,100 EOYO). Even if we don't use them they are pretty reasonable SO generators (MF/SO is lower than SVV Bella, Key West and WKV).
