Use this link to tell you about Starwood Resale. http://www.tugbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63224 Advantage of Starwood is that they have a home resort time frame 12 to 8 months for the home resort people to book their time. Marriott only has home resort preference for Hawiaan properties. My sister has a Marriott and hates it. She tried to book 364 days in advance at her home resort and the resort was booked up. If you own 2 Marriotts you can book 14 months in advance and the whole system is open to all Marriott TS people. That is, the people who bought in Florida can book in Newport or any where except Hawaii 365 days in advance with having only a single TS and 14 months in advance if 2 or more TS units. Starwood has volintary and manditory units. Purchasing a manditory property, resale, give you full access to the Starwood system. There are 5 manditory resorts in their system. Buying resale, volintary gives you access to your resort and Interval International. You can not trade to another Starwood resort except through Interval International and you can not convert to StarPoints. Check out the above link
