Other Middle East and Africa Frequent Flyer Programs - Has SAA scrapped Hilton conversion?

The option to convert SAA points to Hilton Hhonors has disappeared from the website page here:

http://ww1.flysaa.com/voyager/Programme_Guide/content/spending/spending_content_frame.html

although it still appears on the Google cache of that page dated 16 October.

Has this been scrapped?

I hope not, as it was the only sensible use of the slug of Emirates miles I will accumulate in January.

It appears they did back in October or so, maybe a month earlier. We have two SAA accounts with 5,000 miles each which I had wanted to convert to HH points.

Does anybody have any idea what we can do with these points (apart from a free rental car day in South Africa, where we are not going to be for a while to come)? It doesn't appear that gifting or any conversion is possible. I'd hate to lose these miles, but as they're set to expire in December 2010 I can't see what to do with them. Maybe offer them through the Coupon Connection?

Any ideas are appreciated.
