SVN 3 star elite mystery

Hi,

I haven't been reading the posts for awhile, so forgive me if this has already been discussed...

I called SVN to make a reservation using my VV week, and to convert my other timeshare I own (my entire 2 bd/lo at WK) into Starpoints. I mentioned that it was too bad I cannot convert again next year since I converted both sides of the lock off.

The rep told me that I CAN convert every year, because I am a 3 star elite member. It surprised me because my VV week was a resale, while my WK week was bought from developer. I had assumed from reading TUG posts before that they were not counting resale weeks for elite. Of course, I did not want to argue with him about that. If they want to consider me elite, by all means. However, I am still doubtful of it. I will try calling someone else (via the Elite number they gave me) to verify my status.

Isn't this weird? Has anyone gotten elite status from a resale?

We've been told several times that we aren't eligible to go from 3* (developer purchases) to 4* when we recently bought Kierland resale. I'd love to hear that you were given 3* on a resale. It could just be that the regular reservation people don't know all the rules about being eligible for 3*, but the people at the Elite number will know. Please let us know what they say - and get the name of the agent who tells you!

I have bad news. I talked to another person at SVN, and they told me that the first person I spoke with was not correct. So, what everyone else has been saying is true. There is no such thing as a free lunch...
