Points & Money Rewards showed a published table in the
Hilton HHonors Expanded FAQ when I published a
Hilton HHonors Points & Money Analysis on my Loyalty Traveler blog two days ago. Within hours of my post all references to the Points & Money table and amounts were removed from the Hilton website. The Points & Money table had been around since April 2011.
Old FAQ:
11. I don't have enough points to book a room using Standard Room Rewards. Is purchasing points my only option?
Not having enough points shouldn't keep you from seeing the world. That's why HHonors members can use a combination of HHonors points and money to book a standard room. Availability of Points & Money Rewards varies by participating hotel and booking date. The chart below displays the number of points you'll need:

12. How quickly can I earn an HHonors reward night?
Faster than you may think! Enjoy free nights for as few as 7,500 points per night with Standard Room Rewards. Or get to a reward night even faster with Points & Money Rewards for as few as 6,250 points + US$30 per night at participating hotels.
All references to the amounts shown in the Points & Money table were removed. In place of the table the HHonors Expanded Rewards FAQ page now reads:
The number of points required to redeem Points & Money Rewards varies by room, hotel, and booking date.
