The woman on the phone told me my platinum benefits would not be recognized. I told her I was not sure that was allowed... I don't care that much about an upgrade, but I saw one post earlier that said as platinum they still got free breakfast. Can anyone else confirm?
Was your timeshare deal booked through Vistana Signature Experiences? If so, then you will be considered a timeshare guest and your Plat benefits will not be honored.
If your timeshare deal was booked through Starwood, then I would expect the Plat benefits to be honored unless the T&C of the timeshare offer states otherwise.
