celticanvil -
If you transfer from AMEX to Hilton, the exchange ratio is 1000:1300. However, if you transfer to CO or DL, it's 1000:1000. Then if you use Hilton's exchange the CO or DL miles double going into HH points, so overall it 1000 AMEX going to 2000 HH. Other posts say to use Delta if time is a factor (this is even though Delta sends you a certicate that you send to HH.)

FlyingRev - I would certainly consider using some of your AMEX points (doubling them as above) for a VIP award. ALON being a favorite for 6 nights in Hawaii (100000 HH points costing you 50000 AMEX).
