Also, is it me, or does the Cosmo have pretty poor point redemption value? It's 35,000 per night, and even with the 5th night free deal, that's 140,000 points with nights costing $200-$250? At $225 average, that's .8 cents per point if you get the fifth night free, or if you just stay 3 nights $675/105k = .64 cents per point. I suppose there are some additional savings from not having to pay tax (is there a resort fee here?). In general I guess don't value Marriott points at upper level Marriotts or Ritz's more than .8 cents per point.
I dunno about a poor point redemption value. I've got a NYE reservation - I redeemed 35K points for a room that was $600/night before tax ($660 after tax). That is almost 2 cents per point.
