Hilton HHonors has undergone and continues a massive devaluation with some resorts designating and offering only "premium rewards" at values far higher than the hotel category designation.

I was considering applying for a HH or 2 CC to get 100k HH .
Searched for the Hilton Istanbul and it showed room for 40,000 per night. Clicked on it, and it went to 240,000 per night.
WOW

Thanks for all your work .

But overall HH Seems worthless at first blush .
Sounds like a scam to me
