You are wrong on this, there are plenty of $300-500/n hotels that can be booked for 145k for a 4 night stay with AXON; that's 36.25k/n. 300k can easily get you $4000 worth of rooms in Venice, Paris, NY plus many more; as I said before the Hilton board is very informative how how to find the best deals. Come on, you have to be just as diligent in your search for rooms at premiere properties as you are when booking Business/First class air awards.
