I think you guys lucked out. As of this morning, it's a flat 1,000 bonus points for an update.

I updated today twice - got 1000 points for each update! They were supposed to change this to 500 per update (only two per quarter). Oh well, I'm not going to complain!

If you check your account a bit later, you'll see you only got 500.

I did my first one, got 1000. Checked back later and it went down to 500. I tried to to a second update but got no points for it.

You're right - just logged in and only got the 1000, even though it showed the larger total points after the second update. Probably a practical joke to us quarterly profile updaters!

Ok. Just got my second bonus by using IE instead of Netscape.

It'll tell you initially that you got 1000 (and your account balance will go up by 1000). If you log out and log in again, you'll see that you only got 500.

Still an easy 1000!

I did my two updates this morning and received a combined total of 1,000 points. After I made the changes and clicked save, a window popped up indicating that I received 1,000 points; however, when I checked the activity only 500 posted.

My guess is that Hilton forgot to update the pop-up window to reflect the 500.

I had the same result as TTT103 ... 2 posts for 500 points each totaling 1000 points.

It may have said that when you did it but if you log out and log back in you'll find that you were only given 500 points for each of two updates for a total of 1000 additional points/account.

In appreciation, we've awarded 500 bonus points to your account.

I got 500 HHonors points twice, and then I updated my wife's HHonors account and she received 500 HHonors points twice. Give me 500 HHonors points each time and I'll make sure I come back to the HHonors site at least twice a quarter.
