Star Option Reset/ Opinions on what's equitable

[Loriannf]

As a follow-up to Rocky's thread on Star Point revaluation, I thought I'd pose the question on Star OPTION revaluations. As I'm sure you know from my previous posts, I think it's unfathomable that my 3 bedroom Westin St John with its own private pool (Platinum season, 95,700 Star Options) cannot trade into a two bedroom at any time in Hawaii, or get a 3 bedroom at the newer Vistana sections, much less a 3 bedroom in low season at Harborside.

I know everyone thinks their resorts are great, and some places are obviously better than others, but some of these Option values are seriously out of whack. If Starwood would make my WSJ StarOptions more likely to get me something comparable, I'd deposit my WSJ, thus opening it up for more people to get into WSJ.

Just thought I'd throw this out there and see what everyone else thinks. Which resort(s) should have the highest StarOption value, which seasons, and what size units? Should a 3 bedroom be able to pull a 3 bedroom?

you have a very vaild point. it does not seem right that a 3br at wsj cannot trade for a hs 3br or the upcoming hawaii 3br or aruba. wsj is one of the most desired locations in the starwood network, i just don't get it. hope they change it for wsj owner's sake.

The documents I see shows the platinum WSJ 3 bdrm at 148,100 *options. Am I missing something?

You're looking at the "Platinum PLUS" season. The middle season is called "Platinum" at St. John.
