I've updated the Points & Money section to indicate that Hilton is still using the original P&M award chart (reproduced above) that was abruptly removed from their website back on 10/3/11.

beltway great thread and thanks for putting it together. Early posts of this thread refer to post #14 for more info and that information has since been moved to post# 19. If possible correcting those references will remove slight confusion for a new reader. Hilton is currently offering a 30% points back promo on weekend award booking and it might be better to use that in some cases than the AXON/GLON or even better if they are stackable (I do not know about it). A mere reference to certain promos in the first post might help as well.

I've modified the Point Stretcher entry to reflect a) the current absence of any PS offerings and, b) more importantly, one FT member's report of being told by the Diamond Desk that Point Stretchers have been permanently discontinued. It's a bit premature to treat this as definitive, but it's nevertheless worrisome.

With the recent launch of Points & Money Rewards the Point Stretcher rewards have been discontinued. Our new Points & Money Rewards option lets you get away faster than ever using fewer HHonors points.
I'm starting to switch some stays to Marriott (mostly precipitated by the discontinuation of WN as a HH partner)...guess we'll see how it goes.

If I want to stay at the Conrad in Tokyo from March 24 to April 1. What is the least it would cost me in points? I am a gold member.

For the basics of AXON rewards, see post #4 above.
