I noticed that they released the individual points charts for the resorts, so I put it all in a booklet for everyone's convenience. All copyrights belong to Marriott Vacation Club.

I had to compress the file from 20MB+ to less than 2MB to get it to upload here, so the quality of the images on the pages is not great... but otherwise, it looks fine.

They really decided not to do this anymore? It does not make any sense why they would not, aside from a little money

I haven't seen their version of a single booklet with a nice cover and table of contents since 2021. Just the individual resort files they have online.

I think others aggregated it into one file for vacationpointexchange.

I noticed Harborside isn’t listed. Will they be included in 2024?

Last update to Vistana owners said they expect to integrate it into Abound (presumably with Marriott reservation system etc) by mid-2023. IF that is indeed the case, owners should be able to elect points for 2024.

When Abound launched last year, @kozykritter posted some charts he received following a recent purchase. Those charts included HRA, but were never released officially due to the inability to add HRA to abound for 2023. It's a bit out of focus, but here is the chart he posted:

I also used this chart at the time to come up with an approximation of election values for HRA owners based on my best understanding of how MVC does it. If the chart above is where things end up, I expect the numbers below to be within ±3% of the actual election values.


HRA PLATINUM Season SPECULATED point election value:
Small 1BRLarge 1BR2BR2BR Lockoff3BR

I downloaded ~90 individual files from the website, put them all in one file, added my own table of contents, added page numbers, and compressed the file so it can upload to tug...

Slow day at work, so this kept me busy for a couple of hours :)

The individual resorts' 2023 and 2024 points charts are here:

Now we just need Interval to update their TDI charts for 2024. I know they don't jump around much but the Easter holiday always moves around. I think it's week 13 next year.

MVC Just posted a Points Charts booklet for 2022-2023 (both in one book) in the Abound contest for the Vistana website. One of those things that you click on to get extra entries. I imagine it will be on the MVC contest next week. The book is quite nice, with a nice cover, table of contents, and 2022/2023 listed in separate columns on the same pages.

But what use do we have for 2022 charts at this point? Am I missing anything? They have the 2024 charts already - would have been very nice to include in the booklet in the as part of this promotion. The other thing I don't like about it is that they separated MVC from Sheraton, Westin, and Ritz. There are 4 different sections in the booklet for the 4 clubs. They always separated Ritz from MVC (so I also did that in the 2024 attached file) I don't see much reason to separate MVC from Vistana, and virtually no reason to separate Sheraton from Westin as the rules that apply to those are the same. Missed opportunity imo. :shrug:

@StevenTing Not sure if you saw this one first go around? I couldn't find it on VPE.

It’s very nice someone would take the time to do this. Thank you DanCali.

I’m not sure how others are using this. 90 resorts. I seem to look for inventory at the same 11. Rarely do I need to consult the points chart but when I do I simply check it out on the MVC website.

What am I missing?

Some people may like to print it out or save it down to their computer so they don't have to log in every time they want to look at it. It takes a bunch of clicks to get to where they have it. Then you need to check it resort by resort.

I think it is useful. It gives one the ability to check without signing in to the website which can be problematic at times. It also gives you the chance to double check the accuracy of points calculator which I've seen be wrong one time. It also gives you the chance to compare multiple weeks or different arrival days in case one is comparing points costs.

Is there a good up to date summary chart that shows all the MVC Resort points conversion by season? Bonus would be if the Vistana resorts are included.

Aren't the points frozen for how many are needed to reserve any particular resort? If so, why would new books be needed? If the points spent do vary year to year, then I'm misinformed.
