Would someone please be so kind as to PM me a referral? We will be heading to Maui later this year and would be interested in a visit to the property. All best!
<update - referral offer received - thank you!>

Hello, does anybody have any knowledge of a 2014 offer for the 6 days for $798 ? I just received one for Palm Springs but looking for Maui for April 2014. I see some people here ask for a referral.....what does this do? Thanks!
Edit: I see what the referral does now after some research. If someone is able to refer me that would be fantastic! Thank you

We are SV Owners in Maui and received a similar offer for Palm Springs. We asked to change it to Cancun and they did so without hesitation.

I'm curious if there is a specific benefit to the referring party with these offers. I'm not an owner myself, but I have a family member who is. She doesn't pay attention to this world, so if there is some benefit to her for providing referrals I could probably fill her in.
The amount you get is based on the referring party's ownership level, ranging from 20,000 StarPoints (or 400 Resort Credits = $400) for a "basic owner" to as much as 40,000 StarPoints (and I would assume 800 Resort Credits = $800) for a "Five-Star Elite owner".

You get a kickback (StarPoints or Resort Credits) if the referred party buys a Vacation Ownership Interval during their stay.

BTW, with the dozens of referrals I've made over the years, it appears I've referred no buyers! I do it as part of the FT community.

I would not expect a high conversion rate, particularly with this crowd which has a slant toward deal seekers. As you say, the real motivation is to just provide a good experience for others similarly situated.
Plus, I feel that as an owner one of your "perks" is the ability to refer others for a discounted stay. Might as well take advantage!

Same here - I've referred close to 200 people who have requested this on FT, and not a single referral bonus. I do it because I would appreciate someone doing the same for me.
