text: Choose the Hilton hotel that you want to stay at, look at the category assgined to that hotel and go to the Hhonors website to look up the reward certificate chart. Or, if you prefer, just click thru the screen (pretending that you are making the reservation), you will evetualy see how many thousand points you need to "pay' for that stay.
  
  I found the 6-free nights certificate is the best deal as far as points per night go.

  So far, I have only used our HH points for hotels with "point stretchers" - uses many more fewer points than regularly.
  
  I go to the HH site and put in my city area of interest and then clock on each hotel - then click under "Hilton Honors" and that will give the information of the "level" - required needed ponts, BUT it will also tell whether or not there are some dates for POint Stretchers. Then you call HGVC (not Hilton) and request a certificate for that number of points and then make your reservation at the hotel of choice (with those particular point stretcher dates.) The certificate is good for a year and even though you may need to cancel your reservation (as we just had to for a hotel in St Louis we had reserved for point strecther dates ) we can use the certificate again (until the certificate expires) at some other hotel with the eligible pt strecher.
  
  It does take some searching.
  
  Also, an Hilton person (VC) found other hotels in the area (in another case for me in Atlanta) with point strechers for my needed date that I had not found on the Web site. So you may also wnat to call.
  
  Even though the "exchange" of points is not always the best, we do use the Hilton hotels for the single stays we need to make when traveling where there are no timeshares to use. After all, we have already paid for them and that does reduce the further cash outlay.
  
  We even used them for a convention in Baltimore when it would have been over $120/day and I found a point strecher hotel there for the dates!
