Here are the conversions for my two Nanea 2 BR resort view VOI:I have started to create a conversion tracker to keep track of the amount of points allocaetd to each VOI. I know everything right now is still speculation or information gleaned from attending a sales presentation, but at some point I suspect we will get official numbers. For now we can start tracking based on what we have learned in the other threads and update later if necessary. I don't have time at the moment to go through the other threads to update this sheet, creating it is as far as I got. But if anyone else wants to take a stab at it, feel free. The lined Google Sheet is open to comments (opening for edit gets messy). If you find something to add right click on the cell and select "Comment" then indicate what should be in the cell. Mainly looking to verify the breakdown of the sheet is correct but also to populate columns J, M and N. For resorts that are weeks based, I would prefer to populate N and calculate M. For Flex based items, it will just be M that gets populated to indicate the conversion of points. Based on the comments I can update the data in the actual cells.

I tried, but the database has prepopulated choices for number of SOs which don't match what I own, so I was unable to do so.
Aventuras is less valuable than a weeks ownership at Lagunamar. The lower the conversion ratio, the more valuable going from SO to CP. This Aventuras would be 30.08; my 2BR LO Gold + is 23.82. Also, I'd be happy to report in on MFs but the Vistana site has been down and I can't get to the association page w/ all the MF breakdowns.
165,000 SO = $3,032.82 2023 MF = $0.01838/SO or $0.4342/CP
Those are great ratios.
I did the math on platinum plus and gold plus studios at Lagunamar and the skim came out as 5.01% and 4.04% respectively. Haven't figured it for any of the others.
I think it was expected that the Maui properties would get better CP ratios than many others, but the flip side of that is that the CPs required to book the Maui properties are very high. As far as I can see, best value is still using Home Options for Maui resorts in high demand weeks and SOs if you want to use other resorts in lower demand weeks where it's possible to access inventory at 8 months. If you own in the Vistana Maui resorts, there is no reason to convert to CPs unless you want to go elsewhere in the Abound system and are willing to live with some fairly severe points devaluation.
For reference, here's my ratios:
When I went on the page where you elect, it gave me the option to elect either or both SVV and SDO, but it wouldn't let me split the SVV 2br L/O, so you should be able to elect by deed.
Should have kept my mouth shut or done my 2023 election more quickly. Received an email from them today saying there had been an 'error' with some of the Abound values shown online for Lagunamar and I should check to see the 'corrections'. Sadly it has now reverted back to the 2,275Is anyone else is seeing in any difference in what they were told they would get v what the new system now live is showing? We were told WLR 1BR Gold Plus would get 2,275 but it's actually showing as 2,800 in our account. I'm not complaining though as that's probably one of the better conversions of just 44,000 SO
1) WLR is voluntary
