Vistana exchange on Interval, how does it work?

[tosvus]

Hi,

I have Sheraton Flex for 58000 home options. When I go to Interval, there really is no interesting vacation time/unit that comes close to but under 58 000. I have to go down a bit and get units around 25000-44000, as others are over 58000 and there is apparently no way to pay in between. My question is, if say I exchange for a 44000 points unit, does it only deduct 44000 (so I could bank the remainder), or would it take the full 58000? If so, could I bank in Vistana PRIOR to going to Interval, so it says I only have 44 000 points?

Thanks!

Tom

II will ask Vistana to pull whatever amount is needed to complete the exchange, nothing more. If you already have SFlex options on deposit with II, they will use those first and then pull the remaining amount to complete the transaction. Depositing first is a way to control which VOI they pull from and also a place to put unbanked home options at the end of the year. In my case I have two SFlex VOIs so sometimes I want the options pulled from a specific one and will deposit in advance or immediately after I do the transaction in II as it can take a couple days for them to pull the options

Here is the chart for the number of home options needed to do an exchange in II. The amount needed varies by unit size and the travel demand index (TDI) but is fixed and hasn't changed since Flex launched in 2015. This means you will never see an II exchange amount displayed for your SFlex other than these preset numbers.
