Re: Starwood Vacation Ownership (by Mike R.):
We are owners at Diamond Resorts, for the last two years traded 7,000 Diamond Points into Interval for 2 dbroom lockoff at Westin Mission hills in Sept 2008 and Oct 2009. We went on their presentation. They are selling new units at Desert Willows 2 bdroom EYO Gold $18,500 or 2 bdroom everyyear $27,500. We told them no at this point but signed up for a hotel points program to return in the next 18 months stay at the hotel take another presentation and receive 50,000 starpoints good for hotel just for looking. Payment about $1,500 that is good toward new unit. Seems like Mission Hills is pretty available for trade on Interval during Oct. Also looking at resale finding Mission units yearly $5,000 to about $8,000 with maint fees around $1,500. Liked the idea of being able to trade out to other units. Is it very difficult to do that, also what are the real benefits of the hotels.
