So I own two weeks of a Plat+ 2 bdr lock-off at Westin Kierland Villas (mandatory) and 1 week of Plat+ in Westin Lagunamar (voluntary). I am closing on two Vistana Villages-Bella (mandatory) section 2 bdr (non lock-off) Platinum weeks-all resales, thanks TUG . I have rented my home resort weeks (WKV and WLR) and understand how that process works. I understand how voluntary bookings work (1 wk blocks, same room type and same season only). I understand that you are NOT allowed to rent weeks you don't own but book with SO. For example, if I were to use my WKV SO to book a week at WKORV (I don't own there at all) and then rent out WKORV-this is not allowed. What is the interpretation of "home resort" since I own weeks at WKV and WLR and now are adding weeks from SVV-Bella? Anything booked 8 months out uses SO even at home resorts (excluding voluntary resorts) so how does Vistana keep track of where the SO come from? In other words, may I book a 7 month reservation using SVV-Bella SO for WKV or WLR and rent those since I own at all 3 resorts? How about if I combine and/or bank points from WKV and SVV? How well does Vistana track and allocate the points and monitor rentals. I'm not sure how to define "home resort" and the impact of renting given my above circumstances, especially if I start combining SO from multiple mandatory resorts and/or banking points from multiple mandatory resorts to use in later years. Thanks in advance for all the wise TUG input.
