What you are describing is literally booking the room at an Internet web site other than
www.hilton.com which would not earn Hilton HHonors points...
...so
ghostcrash asks an interesting question: is there an Internet web site similar to MyPoints which would re-direct the user to book at
www.hilton.com and earn either points in a different rewards loyalty program or a cash-back percentage in addition to earning Hilton HHonors points?
