Pretty consistent skim across the board here...

Total skim: 478+280+325 = 1083 points

At $0.50 rental value that about $540 a year in extra cost each time you use points!

Ocean Pointe doesn't have a garden view. There is Ocean Side and Ocean Front. I don't know how many points were offered for Ocean Side. I do know that a lot of gold owners are upset at Ocean Pointe because silver season was actually allocated more Destination Points than their gold seasons.

This works out well for us, because we usally go in January. And when it is just my DH & I we will opt for a smaller unit with a better view. So far I am pleased with my options of the new program. Yeah it cost me $600 to join, but I recieved enough points for almost two nights in an ocean front studio in the new towers during my next trip.
To each is own, the plan will benefit some and not others.

Ko Olina points analysis

Marriott would offer 4050 points for a 2BR mountainview unit in their newly defined low season. So, 100% equivalency if you settle for one of those 27 weeks.
However, Ko Olina weeks were marketed as 50-week platinum. So, 23 weeks have now been removed from availability for those 4050 points. Now they cost from 4575 points (12.9% premium) to 4800 (18.5% premium). Other exposures are a good deal worse (17.7% to 23.9% for a top of the line 3BR oceanfront unit). This, of course, ignores the lockoff equivalencies, discussed elsewhere. They are even worse. Even low season starts at a 12.3% haircut.
I would say Marriott is exacting a very stiff price for the convenience they tout in a points exchange.
