Edit: Plus, hotels see it as lost revenue, not a cost. I don't believe they sell a bottle of water and a snack for less than $1.25.
I don't understand the unedited portion of this response.
You were the one who suggested that hotels prefer to give points because they cost less than water/snack.
I don't see any reason a property would assume that a customer who takes points will then buy a bottle of water and a snack. Many Hamptons don't even offer the water/snack they give for sale.
