I had to read the email three times to make certain I wasn't imagining the terms. More than a bit absurd I'd say.

BlueEyedFF is correct. It seems that this is the default HHonors reply these days -- I received the above e-mail even after sending proof of my SPG Platinum status. This is a toughie, and I'm not sure that it's enough of an incentive to move to Hilton from Starwood.
