I know this is very subjective, but what dollar value would you place on 100,000 Hilton Honors points? </font>

I use 1 cent for HHonors and 2 cents for airmiles. This is to help me determine which way to go when I'm trying to earn them and spend them. I've done much better than that spending them and don't use them unless I can get that much value out of them.
For example if I was going to book a room at a Hilton and the point award were 20,000 points and the room is $219. Then it's use the points time. If the room is $89 then it's use the cash time and earn more points to boot.
