Jammanxc,

Thanks for this reference. We can consider this property. Looks like we will cross the street to get to the beach. Have to see if that's a deal breaker for the wife, with little boy.

BTW, I did an analysis of this property using the 35% off, 5th night free, + double points promotion and the SPG promo looks equal or better.

For the getaroom.com property, the net daily rate works out to $113.36 = $100.82 rate + $27.66 taxes and resort - $15.12 SPG pts earned.

The SPG 35% off comes to $116.21/night = $135 / night + $31.42 tax and resort - $24.30 points earned. This works out to $142.12, though take into account fifth night is free and add resort charges for free night and it is $116.21.

If we eat $89.76 of resort food in 2 weeks, which I think highly likely, than they are exactly equal since promo offers 46.7% off. Any more resort food or expenses and the SPG promo is better.

I will talk to the wife about the Kaulani, though will use the 35% off promo, unless I'm missing something.
