This was an okay redemption, but not a great one, and one that I probably wouldn’t choose to do if I had time to think about it. I made a last-minute Points & Money booking through the Hilton app. My final cost was $214.22 and 68,000 points. I didn’t have enough Hilton Honors points in my account to pay for an award night, so I chose to do a Points & Money booking. The cash cost was over $600 and an award night was 90,000 points.
