Flybynite

I tried to book at the Hilton Paris and the customer rep. told me that Vegas hotels don't participate in the Rewards. I was like "what are you talking about." I was thinking not a bait and switch tactic. I told her to look into it and ask a manager. She came back afte 5 minutes to let me know that it's possible and she'll transfer me to a reservation clerk. I don't know what they're smoking but apparently not all is informed. Oh, and don't hold your breath on the paperless reward redemption. That's on hold and they don't know when it'll be effective. In the meantime, I didn't get the date I wanted and had to settle on a date a month later. I believe it is better to use your points quickly now since it seems things can change on the dime. I want to know if anyone has any wise ideas to convert the points into Cash!!!
