When trying to compare an award of hotel points and ff miles I guess it makes sense to do it like that, but I'm sure I'm not the only one here who uses hotel miles for hotel stays and not airline tickets.

How would your calculations look compared to a two weekend nights stay award at the hotels? I'm going to use the five day figures posted by pgupta ...

Hilton ~ 9625 hotel points + 1500 hotel points (miles converted back to Hilton points) = 11125 points = 31.79% of two weekend night stay (35,000 point variety)

Marriott ~ 10125 points = 28.93% of two weekend night stay (35,000 point variety)

Let's also check my personal favorite, Hyatt ...

Hyatt ~ 3750 points + 563 Platinum bonus (Hyatt Platinum is equivalent to Gold in Hilton and Marriott I believe ...) + 300 airline bonus = 4613 points = 30.75% of two weekend night stay (15,000 point variety)

Looks like Hilton edges Hyatt slightly, but that's using Hilton's double dip, isn't it? If we throw in Hyatt's Nights after Nights, it's not even close!

Hyatt, with Nights after Nights ~ 30.75% of two weekend night stay PLUS one free weekend night (and only one more night later will earn a second weekend night).
