Try the HH hotel insurance policy - comes after bagging the Citi and AMEX signon points. Good to have in your travel portfolio. You can later hit BoA and BoH for Hawaiian miles to renew the insurance plan.

I am wondering what are the best Hotel programs that would allow you to get a room that night using your points for the minimum cash cost?
