Hi. We currently have the flex and I have come across a 2BR Odd year (not a lock off) in the Bella phase with 67,100 star options. I believe that makes it a mandatory resort, correct? Also, is this a good resell option if it is not a lock off? Not pricey to purchase and MF reasonable (definitely Italy less than our flex). And - can you combine a deeded week with flex for a longer stay? Thanks.

It’s not a platinum week. You can do better......2 bedroom non lockout worth 81K

you can combine Star options at 8 months at any resort (if you purchased flex from the developer)

If you are picking this up, it should be free. The high season 67.1K SVV mandatory weeks aren't as coveted as the Prime season 81K. The 81K Prime season has a better MF to SO ratio.

I assume you are speaking of the one on eBay. It is mandatory but you would only be able to make separate reservations. But you could make them back to back. The flex you could do at 12 months, but the resale booking time for anything other than Bella would be at 8 months.

Couldn't the StarOptions from the Flex ownership be combined with the StarOptions from Bella at the eight month mark for a single reservation?

Yes, but that wasn’t how I understood his question.
