Have StarOption amounts ever been adjusted?
In 2007 and without any advance notice, SVO significantly increased the number of StarOptions needed to stay at the Westin Lagunamar in Cancun. This was done about two years AFTER the Westin Lagunamar went on sale, and the primary motivation for SVO was to promote developer sales at this resort by giving developer purchasers at Lagunamar the higher StarOption values.
We learned two things about SVO from this:
1) SVO can change the StarOption value charts at any SVN resorts whenever it darn well wants to; and,
2) SVO has no problem making StarOption value changes whenever it is in SVO's (and not necessarily your) best interests to do so.
Since then, most of SVO’s StarOption changes have been relatively minor “adjustments,” but the entire StarOption program is set up to keep the fox firmly in charge of that hen house.
So, if you buy into SVO’s StarOption program, you are essentially joining the group of other SVO owners who hope the fox keeps staying fed from other means.

Watch out SVO, I finally saw "Hunger Games" this weekend, and I'm just itching for something to analogize with it. Consider yourself lucky. May the odds be ever in your favor. -n
