Using SVV-B to trade to WLR/WNA/WKORV/WKORV-N via II

[CaliJoe]

We have a lock off for week 51 & 52 at SVV-B that I am unable to use anymore and want to split and deposit into II.
Trying to see if I can exchange into 2 Bds for weeks 51 & 52 in 2024 at WLR/WNA/WKORV/WKORV-N.
Has anyone had success with this during peak season? Welcome tips and pointers.

Recognize that I can bank the staroptions and rent (last resort) but wanted to see if there's a way to use the popular week to trade for the same week in another resort in II.

Thanks

Weeks 51 and 52 were sold as fixed weeks at many Hawaii timeshares so I doubt you‘ll be able to book those weeks via II or StarOptions unless it’s a last minute cancellations.

NOTE: There hasn’t been deposits of the full two bedroom lockoffs at the Westin Hawaii properties in a while.

Has Vistana changed the way they deposit in Interval? Seems like they always split up lockoffs now

Like most of you, I haven't been able to use some of my Vistana (and Marriott) weeks this year, so I've been paying special attention to Interval inventory for next year. I'm noticing that there aren't many 2BR's for the Vistana resorts that have lockoffs. I can see a lot of Marriott 2BR & 3BR...

No.

Two reasons:

1. Weeks 51 and 52 are not going to be available in II for those resorts.

2. 2br are not going to be available in II for those resort (except WNA) for any weeks - only studios and 1br.

No, I don't think that is possible at all.

My small sides of my SDO and SBP don't pull 2 bedrooms at all anymore. I have pulled a 2 bedroom for 5/12 at Westin Nanea with a large one bedroom side, but Christmas and New Year's weeks rent for big bucks because owners pay a premium for the deeds on those.

SVV didn't sell holiday or event weeks, so owning or having weeks 51 or 52 is meaningless. When Vistana deposits your weeks, they will give you a blended trade power of all the weeks in the Platinum/Prime season.
