Brarob,
If U have a friend with $50 in e-rewards funny money, s/he can put 3K HHonors points in your account instantly. 2500 Mypoints becomes 2500 HHonors, but many people have waited > 1 month for it to arrive
. See the thread in the S.P.A.M. forum.
If U are a basic HHonors member, U can get 15 PP$ by choosing Points & Points. Do U have a valid reason to spend $167 on a Hilton room? (Not worth a mattress run.)
Otherwise just buy 3K points for $37.50 or 10K for $100, in which case U will have enough to spare for an Opportunity-level Hampton Inn.

Mypoints is a great option. Assuming that there are things that the vendors there are selling that you need -- 2500 points can come pretty fast. Office Depot for example is a very fast way to get 4000 pts with just a $400 purchase. It beats buying points from hilton because you are (theoretically) getting stuff you need with your $.
