It should be interesting to see what happens with the 2015 deposits. There's no way they won't deposit lot's of Orlando and Palm Springs properties.

Your post got my interest because I made a discovery today. I have a saved list of Starwood and Marriott properties plus a few others which I use for searches. Normally I get 5 screens worth of stuff, but lately I've been getting only 3. The 1st unit in my list is a 2015 but further down in the list I have a 2014. Instead of just using the first one (they are identical except for the year) I scrolled down and picked 2014 and was back to a " normal " list of 5 full screens. I wonder if there is an II glitch?

Not to add insult to this whole discussion, but I just saw a reported Hotwire booking of WKORV for 9/5-11 2014 ($180/night+taxes); these are just the studio sides. I plugged in 11/1-8 2014 and saw same price.

Nothing available for exchange or getaway in II though.

The units for WKORV (fall of 2014) were deposited by Starwood into II in September 2013. Now if you were discussing 2015 it would be different. If there is not a Bulk Deposit by Starwood of 2015 units by the end of Sept 2014'for 2015, something has really changed.

Let's not confuse "availablity" and "priority."

-"Priority" has nothing to do with availability. If Starwood isn't depositing anything, you can't have priority for it.

Tomato, tomahto....it doesn't matter whether I am first in line for zero inventory or last in line for a lot of inventory. The result is the same, I'm not getting a trade and EFFECTIVELY there is no Starwood preference.

Not ONE Starwood unit in ALL OF 2015? All resorts, all seasons, all unit sizes? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

I'm curious about whether OGS for hawaii are being filled. I have seen the studios at WKORV(N) in II for January, but what is surprising is no Princeville units are showing up.

I thought WPORV was an easier trade than Maui.

Yes. My OGS for summer 2015 was filled with a 1BR at WKORN.
