“I was able to use 980,000 Hilton Hotel Points (so far) to get 36 of the [Louisiana] Cajun Navy rooms” in a Hilton hotel in Columbia, South Carolina, Bever wrote on a Facebook post .

Hoping to inspire others to donate their points to volunteers, he posted the idea in several Facebook groups, including in Raleigh.

“The vast majority of the Cajun Navy bore their own expenses,” he wrote. “Many use their vacation/comp/sick time to help the rescue efforts [and are] donating boats as well. It’s important we take care of the people helping others.”

Lauren Debettencourt, senior manager of loyalty communications for Hilton, said the company was moved by Bever’s donation and has matched his point contributions to a charity of his choice. People are able to donate their hotel points to various charities including the American Red Cross’ hurricane efforts at www.pointworthy.com/partners/hilton/.
