What you'll get for your Vistana points
Typical Vistana owners hold 30,000–200,000 StarOptions per year. At current secondary-market rates, that translates to $2,875–$6,325 cash for a typical year's allocation when selling to a buyer service.
Vistana StarOptions trade at $0.025–$0.055 on the secondary rental market. A typical 80,000-StarOption allocation rents for $2,000–$4,400 per year. Hawaii (Westin Ka'anapali, Westin Princeville) and Caribbean (Westin St. John, Sheraton Vistana) properties command the highest per-StarOption value. Self-rent on Airbnb/Vrbo is the primary cash-out path for Vistana owners — Timeshare Rental Pros, the cash-buyer service we reference for other programs, does not currently purchase Vistana StarOptions.
How selling Vistana points works
Submit your point details
Tell Timeshare Rental Pros which Vistana (Sheraton / Westin) contract you have, how many StarOptions you want to sell, and your use-year expiration date. Takes about 2 minutes.
Receive a cash offer in 24 hours
Their team reviews your points against current rental demand at Vistana resorts and emails you a transparent cash offer. No hidden fees, no obligation.
Accept and get paid in 24 hours
Sign a one-page contract; payment lands in your bank account via ACH (or PayPal/check if you prefer) typically within 24 hours of contract execution.
They handle the rental
TRP books and rents out your points on Airbnb and Vrbo. You have no booking management, no calendar to track, and no risk if a renter cancels.
Selling vs. renting vs. using Vistana points
- Use them yourself: Highest "value" capture if you'd take the vacation anyway. Worst option if you wouldn't.
- Get cash for them (this page — what we recommend): Timeshare Rental Pros pays you cash up front, before any rental, with zero work and no fee. Best for almost everyone — especially if you don't want to manage a rental or have expiring points and need cash now.
- Self-rent on Airbnb/Vrbo (DIY): You can list it yourself and may net a bit more per point — but you handle the booking, listing, calendar, cancellations, and platform risk, with no guaranteed payout. The harder path.

Heads up
We don't have a cash buyer for Vistana points
The cash-buyer service we recommend buys points from a set of major points programs, and Vistana (Sheraton / Westin) isn't currently one of them. We'd rather tell you that than send you somewhere that can't actually help. Here's what does work for Vistana owners:
- →Self-rent your points on Airbnb or Vrbo — book a peak week and list it yourself. More work, but you keep the full spread.
- →Look at resale and exit options for the contract itself. Use the brand's own program first, and never pay an upfront-fee “exit” company.
- →Convert your StarOptions to Marriott points — Marriott Vacation Club is a program cash buyers do work with, so converting can open that door.
