This is what I learned from a presentation in St. John:
1. SVO uses II (Interval International) for timeshare exchange
2. It is deeded, at least for timeshares at the Westin St. John
3. You get lifetime Gold/Plat/Plat+ depending on which week you buy (low season=gold, shoulder=plat, high=plat+)
4. The Westin St. John is a "red" or highest ranked property in II, no matter which week you own there.
