I just bought a timeshare from Orlando Sheraton Vistana. I own 67,100 points or 22000 starpoints. Is it hard to exchange with other Starwood resorts like Atlantis or Hawaii?
I don't claim to know a thing about Starwood, but in any and all other systems with which I'm personally familiar, the odds of using Orlando to exchange into the Bahamas or Hawaii are just about the same as the odds for winning the lottery. I'd love to be dead wrong on this observation, but generally speaking "iron pipe" can rarely be realistically expected to get "gold bars" in an "exchange".
