Re: Starwood point and star options (by Shanna E.):

Thank you Tracey. It is confusing because people are listing the starpoints value on the ads. So even if you purchase in a mandatory phase like Bella, you do not get the starpoints, only staroptions. Do you have to pay the SVN fee since it is a mandatory phase? If you purchase multiple resale timeshares, I have also heard that you can trade them in for a retail purchase. Do you know how many you would need to do this? Can they be any Sheraton properties? Thank you for all your help! We are new to this and are trying to figure it all out.
