I was thinking of Maui for our 20th anniversary next year and was wondering if a one bedroom at WKORV-S can pull a 2 BR (WKORV-either property) in the summer season from II

A 1 bdm. can trade into a 2 bdm. with an instant online exchange, but you aren't likely to see any 2 bdm. units in the summer in online inventory.

It would be rare for a 2 bdm. to show up in online inventory in the summer because:
1) Starwood tries not to deposit prime summer weeks in II, and
2) If any summer weeks are deposited they will used to fill ongoing requests first.

If you need a 2 bdm. in the summer, you should put in an ongoing request with a 2 bdm. With an ongoing request, you can't request a 2 bdm. with a 1 bdm. deposit.

You think a SVV Plat 2BR LO would have any chance for a 2 BR using the ongoing request?

Yes - but you want to get your request in ASAP, and request a wide range of dates, rather than just one week.

I am going to check with DW, select some dates and put in a request. Thank you for you help.

I think an ongoing search might be the ONLY way to get anything for 2011. We haven't seen a single Starwood Hawaii week deposited for 2011. This is new. We used to see large bulk bankings for at least off-season weeks, and now there seems to be nothing at all. I think we need to all be aware of this and act accordingly.

I have a request with a decent trader, not Starwood, 2 bedroom, for January on Kauai. If that request comes through, I will let everyone know.

Westin Kaanapali Maui now available in Interval

Hey guys,

This is my first post though I have been a long time Tug lurker. I am able to see lots of availability on-line for Westin Kaanapali (villas and North) from looking to exchange (with my Harborside) for the dates of January to June 2011--even some two bedrooms. So go get them!!

I have had an on-going request since April and just received confirmation of my exchange into a 2 BR WKORV for Friday May 27, 2011 through Friday June 03, 2011, using my 2010 SBP gold plus 2 BR unit.

This is the first banking for 2011. That's very different from what happened last year. I am so happy to see the weeks, but it's been six months coming. Plus, there aren't that many, unless there are multiples of some of the weeks.

With so many dates, there are likely multiples of weeks available. It is so great to see availability in Hawaii again! :D

Too bad I cannot afford the plane tickets... :bawl:
