Confused on weekly point math

[rishj09]

I am probably missing something very simple but something is not mathing out. Lets say there is a week that costs the below amount of points. Why is a Sun-Sun stay more expensive than a Sat-Sat. I would think its the same amount of days (1 day of each day, i.e. 1x monday, 1x tuesday...) but the Hilton website has different totals for the Sun - Sun compared to a Sat - Sat.

NVM, figured out the issue. It was on a platinum/gold boundary causing the differences in pricing

Glad that you figured it out because there weren't enough details in your post for me to.

This is related to something I've been playing around with. I typically run at a point deficit each year and am always borrowing from next year (by design). And I'm currently at 16 cents per point blended across my 2 deeds (Anderson gold studio retail + Boulevard gold 2 bedroom plus resale). So to truly optimize and extend stays, I should pay with points for weeknights and pay with open season cash on weekends. In this example, it's perfectly cost neutral for a 1 bedroom on weekend nights but actually becomes a better OS deal on a 2 bedroom and especially on a 2 bedroom plus (which I prefer because they are the villas at Bay Club). Just something for the group to think about if you are thinking of buying additional deeds to get more points - open season can bridge the gap with no ongoing commitment.

Does your Open Season calculation take taxes into account?
