I was told SOs convert at a 23:1 ratio (I think that is what I heard). So 44,000 options would be about 1900 DPs EOY. So if we assume 950 DPs annualized, it is about $10 pp. What is the maintenance fee on 44,000 options?
Each of the Flex program converts at different rate to DC points.

sorry. I don't recall exactly, it was Aventuras Flex, I think between $500 and $600 yearly

Only Nanea is 23:1. Others are worse...

Per a post in the "speculation thread":
  1. Nanea 23:1
  2. Westin Flex 28:1
  3. Adventures 30:1
  4. Sheraton Flex 32:1

Per the Vistana Dashboard, the estimated fees for our 44000 EOYO Westin Flex is $522.66 for next year. MF's on EOY's are paid annually.

Is that annually so the real MF is $1,044 For 44,000 Westin Flex?

Hi - i went through my owners update today and was told the merger would be effective in April 2022
If I was placing a bet on that April date, I'd take the over.

You should look at the Vistana MF sticky. All the information is there. Westin Flex MF is $0.02103/point.
And Sheraton Flex for 2022 is $0.01843/point. Best to always run this number, hard to tell sometimes when looking at estimated fees because that may include the VSN fee and the VSN fee will vary by owner depending on how many VOIs they own.

I'm pretty sure I saw something saying 28.81:1 for "Westin Flex StarOption":"Marriott DC Point"
