Yes, surpass does so even though your get 12ppd it's better to save the 3% and use the Citi Hilton reserve at 10ppd.  Hilton TA charges in USD but the WA charges everything in shekels.  If you're a Diamond, register for the double points promotion and use one of these cards, should get about 30% of what you spend back in points for a future stay.

Does anyone know if the superior rooms were ever opened up for Sukkot?  How far in advance did they do it?  Trying to figure out if they will become available for Pesach.....

Thanks!

I also have one room booked with points but need a second room.  Any idea how far in advance the rooms opened last year?  I definitely need 2 rooms so deciding if I need to make other arrangements...
