You have to be careful with that. In a comparison shop, only one set of expenses will accrue toward hotel rewards (because they are different brands, unless you happen to have both loyalty programs). Also, unless you have a hotel-branded credit card (they all have annual fees) it is hard to rack up quite enough points to make the finances work out. When converted to dollars most points are worth very little.
