YGPM! Thanks for the info!

On a similar note, I am an owner at the Harborside Resort at Atlantis. We are headed there next month...first time for us personally using it since we bought it. I had seen similar referral programs for "friends" for Harborside and referred a couple friends last year; however, at the beginning of this year (which was really months ago for the lead time in booking) they changed the offer tremendously; it used to be closer to this; around $749 for 4 nights at the Harborside Resort - the timeshare part of Atlantis; but now, if I recall correctly, it is closer to $1199 for 5 nights in the Beach Tower; I am not 100% on that but I recall that in general, it was only mildly better than rack rate and not nearly as worth it.

Anyways - to me the beauty of SVO is the ability to exchange. Yes, the maintenance is high. I have been looking at purchases to add to my StarOptions pool and have noticed a tremendous variation in the yearly maintenance fee; in other words, I kinda am getting pummeled by the Bahamas maint fee b/c of the hurricanes, etc. We pay nearly $800/year for the smallest unit, which is the same, as mentioned earlier, as the largest unit in Arizona. If I were to buy for the sake of getting exchange options instead of a place to visit yearly, if maint fee is a concern clearly based on the pricing SVO has given me, Arizona is the place to buy. Florida locations are cheaper but have higher maint fees.

Anyways - so far we are a fan of SVO. $800/year plus the original purchase price buys us 7 nights at Atlantis every year...or more if we go in mid or low season.

Good luck to all!

I have just faxed in the "Friendship List". I am under the impression it is a one time deal, but if that is not the case, I'll re-post to get more 'friends.'

It will be interesting for those of you on the list to let us know if it works out.

Regards.

Westin Maui

We are owners at the Westin Ka'anapali timeshare resort. If anyone is interested in the same package for the Westin Maui hotel, send me a PM with your name and address. I'll send it to Starwood and they'll send an invitation. You can't be current owners at the resort to get this invitation and there may be a limit to the number of friends I can submit, but I'll do my best.
