Now, if they really want to come up to the level of Starwood points flexibility, will they let us use HH points like cash at checkout to pay for food or other expenses? Many Starwood properties accept points like cash. Example 700 SPG points = $10 off your final checkout bill. In some resorts, the buffet breakfast = x SPG points. I love that about Starwood and hope Hilton Honors starts doing that. If they do that, I'll be using my Amex HH Surpass card for everything.
