Exactly. Which is why I don't see why peple with status (and especially ones not having a trivial time keeping it without every stay counting) would be interested in using AA miles for HH stays instead of transferring AA miles to HH points, no matte what the valuation is.

But it turns out the person I was writing that question (that you answered) to is HH Silver, and if they are never above HH Silver anyway, I guess that explains why they might be interested in using AA miles for HH hotels, even though I (who am intrested in stay credit) wouldn't find AA miels for HH hotel bookings a good substitute for transferring AA to HH and then booking with HH points.
