Can you Hawaii luxury less than $200 / night?

Can you find a Hawaii luxury hotel for less than $200 / night from December 5th - 15th?

This should include all taxes, resort fees, and account for any points earned or spent.

Here is the analysis I have done

Financial Analysis

I'm currently booked into the Sheraton Waikiki under their 35% off, 5th night free, double points promotion.

I calculate the total cost per night is $201.34/night. Daily rate is $235/night, plus taxes and resort fee = $288.75/night. Each night earns $235*6 points = 1410 points, at $0.03/point the value is $42.30 / night, so total cost per night is $246.45. Include the free fifth night, include resort fees for that night and we come to the $201.34/night.

Don't forget that all SPG property food is at a 46.7% discount. 35% discount, plus 6 points per $ spent at $0.03/point equals an additional 18% off for the 46.7% discount.

It was suggested a significant discount off this rate is available, so let's see it.

Try and compare similar beach front properties and include all costs, include the cost of points used, taxes, resort fees and any other costs. Deduct benefits such as points earned.
