Good to have you back, Craig. I know we'll all try to walk the delicate line between getting as much information as we can and not getting you into any trouble!!
Welcome Craig. We really miss you on tug. Glad to have you here.
Can I be the first to ask you a question? We own at Sedona Springs (2 bd) which is a gold crown with RCI, accepted by SFX but not a 5 star with II. Any idea why?
Anne
Anne,
My Whistler resort is exactly the same, RCI gold, SFX OK and not 5* with II. I could not find out why.
Hi Craig! I so much enjoyed getting to know you on TUG...great to see you here because I'm rarely on TUG anymore. Hope all is well with you...are you still living in Miami area?

Thanks Craig. I did ask II but they said maybe it will be in the future. Oh well, I'll stick with RCI & SFX with that one.
Glad you're back.

Anne:
I meant for you to ask your resort as the information wouldn't be available to anyone you could speak to at I.I.
The resort must first ask for the designation. Once it has taken that step, any denial would be provided with guidance on how to attain the status. Many resorts that have been turned over to an HOA don't have a compelling reason to pursue the designation.
In any case, not speaking about I.I., I personally doubt any exchange company uses a designation as part of their matching process.
Craig, I'm very glad you're here.
I didn't have an II resort when you were on Tug, but I read your posts and admired your honesty
Don't know what you can or can't answer.. so I'll ask away
Do you know how II assigns trading power to Sunterra points?
I know its 6500 points for a 2bd peak time reservation. Would I be restricted by trade power or could I pretty much get anything in the II inventory? Other than those resorts with internal tradinh like Marriott preferences.
I know with HGVC and RCI.. The HGVC points will pull any top resort in RCI.. provided you give them the proper # of points.
HGVC does have quality issues, they will not allow you to trade into low quality resorts.
Craig, I'm very glad you're here.

This would be the type of question I could not answer. I cannot speak about anything that could be construed as confidential information.
Having said that, I honestly don't know the answer to your question. Points transactions were handled by a department outside of my area of responsibility.
This might seem like a silly question, but are you prevented from answering certain questions about II for only a certain period of time, or for "eternity"?
You seem to be a very valuble asset to this ts4ms because everyone here has nothing but great things to say about you. So let me take the time to welcome you and please keep up the good work because it is greatly appreciated.

It's not a silly question at all. I cannot ever speak about confidential information. However, I'll throw my two cents in when I can.
From another Fellow Miamian. I drive by the Interval offices everytime I go to my Mom's house in Kendall. I often wonder what is going on inside that complex. I'd love to spend a day there. Must be fascinating.
