SVO Resale: Rules of Thumb for good ratio between Staroptions and Sales Price, Maint

[duke]

We have bought three mandatory SVO weeks at 3 different resorts - No $599 fee.

David is correct. There is no $599 fee for anything.

Also, no matter what you are told they will not requalify a voluntary resort by paying a $599 fee.

Very interesting ---- so you found that your family could make do quite nicely with the 1BR --- giving the option to split it into two 1BR stays at the same or multiple resorts in the same year. Now you really have me thinking ....

I suggest you see the units yourself and look at the staroptions chart to see how many staroptions you need for your travel plans.

Beyond trading, it's often possible to simply buy an Interval Getaway and have a very cheap vacation in Orlando without giving up your week.

This is a great point and should be emphasized, especailly for Orlando.

I just did a search for Orlando between 2/1 and 5/1 and found these resorts (among others):

- Marriott's Grande Vista Resort (studio, 1 & 2 bed)
- Marriott's Cypress Harbour (2 bed)
- Marriott's Imperial Palm Villas (3 bed)
- Marriott's Royal Palms Resort (2 bed)
- Marriott's Sabal Palms Resort (2 bed)
- Sheraton Vistana Resort (1 bed; Apr 28th only)
- Sheraton Vistana Villages (1 bed; April 29th only)

Prices are about $350-ish per week. Some of these didn't have much availability...so if you really need that 2-bed every time you might want to purchase...or look at other resorts (there were 40 resorts with availability, I only listed those from Marriott or SVN).

I don't get to Orlando often, but I know I'll get there via II using this program rather than trading or buying.
