You can also apply for a couple credit cards that are fee free and and get the same 100K for no out of pocket expense (just credit pulls)

Or if you spend that $737.50 on actual stays at Hiltons on relaxing vacations, pay using the surpass and having gold status plus the current 3x Weekend promo plus my way, Amex booking bonus, GG 40% sale, Gold bonus, etc, you will end up with around 50K and have plenty of nice memories of your stays. (plus th current Surpass 50K sign up promo if you dont have it)
What is 40% GG sale?

Most of the time I'm SPG/Hyatt kind of guy, so not that well versed in Hilton ins/outs, so my valuation might be off.

I was considering Hilton Bora Bora property (over $1000/night), so even $0.01/point is a steal.
