Your profile doesn't say where you live but it would be far preferable to go to a local property and see what you can do. I've seen stories here about properties that will do 'virtual' deals but I've never done them with Hilton (and wouldn't elaborate if I did). In my case there are lots of properties in the DFW area including a somewhat older Hampton on my commute that works for this just great. I just make a res, check in, go to the room long enough to claim the cookies and water (prob worth more than a mere 250 points) and go. It works just great.
