At this property, a referral gets you a one-bedroom studio villa for $798 for a five-night stay including a $75 resort credit and a Avis rental car credit (IIRC $150-$185). That average nightly rate is much better than one can get on a normal booking.
Yes, a referral for a specific property must be generated by an owner of that specific property. Your parents would only be able to provide a referral for the Westin St. John and your parents' other ownership properties. The rates/terms for those referrals may differ from those of a referral for the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas.
