HHonors Point Stretcher awards offer a 40% savings off of normal redemption rates and, when we took a look at the current offerings, we found several Point Stretchers available for the month of August, including hotels in Colorado, Paris and Barcelona to name but a few. Members should exercise caution however, and put in a little research before booking one of these awards. For example the Hilton in Barcelona is in the middle of the business district and business in Barcelona all but closes for the month of August. And the Hampton Castle Rock is described as being in a "beautiful Coloado Rocky Mountain location." Ordinarily this is true, but as we go to press, Castle Rock is also the Eastern Headquarters for the crews working on the Hayman Fire.
