I just finished our owner's update here at SDO. Very low-key and low-pressure. The salesperson said he couldn't really improve on what we already owned. I've found him to be an honest guy and this is our second time having a presentation with him.
Some interesting points to add:
- The Vistana to DC conversion tool was deployed last night (this is probably what the maintenance notice was about). He said today was the first day they could actually use it to see what the conversion values will be for different ownerships. Owners will be able to see the same thing when the system goes live this summer to convert.
- After I asked about what our portfolio would convert to, he went and got a printout of our portfolio that included all of the exact conversion values. (I wasn't able to get a picture of this as he didn't leave us alone after this - but I have no reason to doubt it is authentic given it was prepared upon request and took about 10 minutes and all the information on our ownerships lined up)
- As I suspected and was confirmed in the other thread conversion values for deeded weeks are based on the actual week, not the number of SO it converts to.
- Our WFlex ownership converts at 28.86:1 (WFlex to DC). This is lower than was reported in the other thread from Denise, so I'm not sure why there is a discrepancy.
- Our WKORVN OF week is worth 8325 points. This is close to what
@dioxide45 had guessed they would be worth. Orlando for us isn't great (2625) and our SDO Plat is worth around (can't recall the exact number).
- There does appear to be some significant skim. WKORVN OF will take between 8200 and 11475 to book in DC (probably averaging about 9500 just glancing at the chart values - see picture below).
- Since we are 3* we will be given Executive level in MVC with plat for life (already reported). Our overall portfolio is worth over 9k annualized points based on the actual weeks plus the WFlex. He did say we could buy more WFlex if we wanted to go up a level in DC (this was really the only sale he tried to make).
- I asked if mandatory resale units would convert even if they were not retroed, and he said "yes". The printout he showed us had it listed with the points value along with the value of our account. He said it wasn't worth doing a retro on it since it would be in the system and eligible to convert. He did say pricing would be going up to match MVC in the summer and would be DC points only.
- No clarity on the VSN fee situation. He said it would go up to take into account the new features, but couldn't say by how much or if all other fees would be waived.
I have to head to the pool...will try to post some additional points charts pics I snapped while he was away getting our conversion sheet.
[edited to correct SDO value - from memory though]
