Hi Experts!
Hoping to get clarification on Star Option expiration. I own a fixed week at Harborside in August. I am getting ready to move it to a week in early December. If i do that, and then can't make it and need to cancel the week and bank my Options (I would do that before the 60 day window), when would my banked Options expire? Is it based on calendar year or would it expire early August of 2020 based on when my deeded week is?
Thank you!

Assuming you have no elite status, banking deadline for 2018 SOs is June 30 2018. Once passed that date, you simply cannot bank them anymore.

You log onto the Vistana Dashboard or Villa finder and click the link that says: Staroptions Banking - or call Owner Services/reservations.

Staroptions are good for the next 2 years, regardless of when you bank them. So 2018 Staroptions are banked for 2019 and 2020.

The banking deadline depends on your Elite Status:

SUMMARY:

5* Elite Owners: No charge.
3* and 4* Elite Owners: $79
All other (non-Elite) Owners: $99

Non-Elite SVN members can request SO Banking no later than July 1
3* and 4* Elite members may request SO Banking through October 1
5* Elite members may request SO Banking through December 31

You must cancel the reservation no later than 61 days before check-in, to bank the StarOptions.
