Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Beck):

You make an excelent point for the benefit of points, I'm just not certain a lot of people will trade KoOlina for four 1BR units in CO on an annual basis.

Your 4025 pts will not get you a Newport Coast 2BR during the summer (4225-5675 pts) which you could have gotten via the current II weeks exchange, and during off season you can only get one 2BR (2900 pts) whereas by splitting your LO it is very possible to get two Newport Coast 2BR units thru II Weeks. I've gotten 2BR units here using studios for exchange.

In pts you also can't get a Maui Ocean Club 2BR MV which starts at 4700 pts. I just got two Maui Ocean Club 2BR units in Lahaina Tower (which starts at 5,500 pts) this last month, one for 11-18 July and another for the first week of September. I used a 2BR Ford's Colony Silver (prob 2000-2500 pts) and a 1BR Desert Spings Gold (1200-2500 pts) to get these reservations!

So yes, there are cases where you can make it work better with Marriott points. But for most reservations which are more likely it looks very likely to be a bad deal.
