Does the following work legally and in practice: some hotel reservation companies advertise that they give you 500 or 1,000 ff miles if you make the reservation through them. Through them select a Hilton hotel where you get HH points, plus airline 500 miles. I suppose it should be two different airlines.</font>
YES, this is OK because the res co is offering you the FF miles for making the res via them separate of what the hotel itself may give you.
OTOH, the hotel/ car rental co has offered you FF miles in ONE FF program of your choice, so it's wrong to milk them for multiple chunks.
