I understand now about your Hilton scenario. If I ever have a need to stay at a Hilton I will keep it in mind.

Yes. But as already stated you have to jump thorugh some hoops to do it right now. Marriott Concierge (Chris), the official Marriott lurker here on FT has told us that they will be fixing the underlying problem. This problem came about with the October 2007 downgrade of their reservation system and Marriott.com. The underlying problem is that you can't cash in an award without having a hotel reservation associated with it, hence the reason for making a dummy reservation to hold the Hotel portion of a Hotel+Air Travel Package.

Yes, although since October 2007 you now have to go through an agent to make your reservations.
