You can't get outsized value out of southwest points like you can with other hotel and air points. It's a fixed value rebate program.
I'm not talking about the other attributes of the programs themselves, or status or companion pass, or whatever the WN fans get jumpy when you dare criticize. I'm talking about the currency.
But, yes, I will concede that there is no way for those with Hilton status to get 2x the value of Hilton points like there is with southwest points for those who get status and travel in pairs (minus $5.60 per sgement of course). That wasn't my point. It was about the value of the currency.
