Instead of cancelling, rebooking, and paying more points since the rates went up, can I check out a day early and get the points and money refunded to me? I called Hilton and the hotels directly and got mixed messages. It sounds like this could be possible on the points reservation but maybe not the points & money. What's your experience with this situation? Thanks!
