I don't want to go out and buy a ton of points only to find I can't transfer them.


P.S. - In case anyone thinks that what I'm doing is underhanded, I will say that I actually created the account for legitimate purposes because I thought I was going to have to stay in a few Hilton properties for work. That didn't happen. Also, once upon a time I had a legitimate HHonors account with a ton of points on it that got closed due to inactivity. So I don't feel so bad taking a little advantage of Hilton.
