In all, wanted $30 extra for the HHonors points on a 7 day rental</font>
FWIW, your car rental rate (or code used) does not have any effect whatsoever on HH points earned, as the points are credited by Hilton, and the only requirement is to show Alamo car rental agreement or car keys at check-in at the hotel. Alamo rental must be in conjucntion with a Hilton stay.
Keep in mind that besides HH points, you can earn airline miles directly from Alamo.
