My experience has been that this part of the process takes a little longer to get finalized. If you don't see any change after a week, contact Customer Advocacy.
That took a few days longer than the VSN change when I went through this a few months ago. As with the VSN issue, if it takes longer just contact them again, and reference your current II corporate membership number to make sure the new VOI goes to the same account.
If it's enrolled in VSN, it should be able to be used in the same corporate II account. I would contact Owner Services and ask them to move the new VOI to the preexisting corporate II account number.
Hard to say now that we have Abound and your new week is not Abound eligible. It is possible they are putting ineligible weeks into a different II account so they don't get the $0 exchange fees into Marriott and Vistana.
That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that.
Doesn't make sense and apparently doesn't have to make sense because they are setting up new accounts/ forcing new log-ins for every new Sheraton we buy. They just won't combine anything anymore for us.
In the past, probably not. I suspect now that your new II account will charge you an II exchange fee of $164 where your Abound II account charges $0 (when trading Vistana to Vistana/Marriott). If you can get this new week in your existing II account, that week may also be afforded $0 exchange fees.
I just completed two. It takes a terribly long time to close on properties in Hawaii. Most recent resale purchases I made at WKORV North took about 4 months and Vistana still doesn't have them listed in my portfolio. I need to call them.
