My sister has Select Level in Abound. She recently banked some of her 2025 StarOptions and everything stated an expiration of 12/31/2027 including her email confirmation.

StarOptions banking was supposed to align with Abound Club Point rules starting in 2025. Did they give us an extension?

The chart below is from a 2023 thread (link).

*This policy and timeframe will continue for two calendar years (for 2023 and 2024 use) and then align with the Club Points use rules beginning with the 2025 Use Year.​

What do you want to bet that when 2025 rolled around, nobody at MVC remembered that they were supposed to update the banking rules for StarOptions? Maybe all the people who knew about it had left the company and they’ve sort of forgotten. Until they remember, of course.
 
My guess is they were going to use the new cross brand owner website platform to apply the same rules to Star Options and Club Points. It was originally targeted for Q4 of 2023 and it's now 18 months later and no platform yet. Every update I do I am told they are actively working on it but we'll see. Otherwise they likely don't have the IT setup to treat them both the same across two different reservation systems and owner platforms.
 
maybe we shouldn’t point this out if we would like it to continue. :censored:

Although as a Presidential member it looks like I get an extra six months.

Likely the Fortran programmers at MVC can’t figure out the programming language being used by Vistana.
