Yes - with Cash and Points the tax is charged on the cash portion,
plus there is a CA occupancy fee of close to $50 at some hotels,
(and a nightly valet parking fee... $$$).
But no tax/charges when it's all points.  :)

sometimes it's necessary to read between the lines, but yes, if he wasnt referring to bidding (highly unlikely), you would be right
