except HH have uses for certain limited situations, so UR/MR/TYP is likely worth more on a practical basis.
But enough arguing! Can we please display the achdus which is the linchpin of yahadut?

Or why dont you use a card that gives you other points.
Such as a card that gives 2 or 3 points for travel....

Its true that HHonors has horrible partner redemption values but if you plan to use them for hotel you can easily redeem them for an awesome redemption rate that makes it WAY for valuable to put it on a Hilton card, plus you are right you are going to get a boatload of HHonors points from the actual stay itself.  Another reason to get the Hilton Citi or Surpass card is because Cardholders are automatically HHonors gold so you'll get a 25% bonus on the points for the actual stay and you also then should get a room upgrade and drink certs and whatever Gold benefits they are offering then.

Can anyone confirm if parking is free at the Waldorf Jerusalem, I see on the wiki it says it's free, but many wrote that there is a cost.

It'll say along the lefthand side of their hotel homepage if it's free or what the daily rate is.

Free.

Entrance to garage is on your left right after the front entrance.  Big white doors. You have to ask the guy by the main door to click his remote to open it.

Very convenient.  Elevators go straight up to your floor from the garage.

That's awesome!  Another really cool benefit to this card, to be able to use the points and free night's certs elsewhere and get a free meal at WA courtesy of Citi.

And the background is that it says in the fine print of the card that the credit has to be used toward an actual hotel stay but D93 was able to enjoy a WA Jerusalem restaurant meal and get the credit without staying at the hotel.
