I felt that it would have been fair to allow existing holders to count the point value of existing certificates towards the new ones. I was willing to pay the difference in point value between my existing certificates (45K and 40K per night times 6) and the new ones (50K per night times 6) to be assured of having the ones I wanted. Since MPG mades the changes without announcing the conversions, I ended up with a NC6 for my OC9 at no cost instead of paying 30K for the upgrade and paid 30K to upgrade my OC8 instead of 60K.

I had a OC9 with a 45K per night value and I wanted a NC6 with a 50K per night standard point value. The difference would have been (50K - 45K) * 6 = 30K. I also had a OC8 that I paid 30K to upgrade to a NC6. The difference would have been (50K - 40K) *6 - 30K = 30K. 30K + 30 K = 60K.
