I had a question for all:

For those of you who have more than 100,000 points, are you going to cash in the GLON award for 100,000 miles (even though you may nothave anything specific planned)?

Most likely, in my case.

While I feel for those of you who have chosen Hilton as a primary program, I personally can't be too upset. I ran up 115,000 points with ~8 stays (mostly in 2001), so I can't really complain that Hilton is giving me over a year to use a GLON at the old rate. And the Gold status that I've had for the last 2 years was through one of the 50,000 promos, and using AAGU on the last day (2/28) I now have Gold for another 2 years. I've had a very easy time with Hilton, and I can deal with the devaluation as a result.

I, too, have the problem that another poster has- I'm not used to staying at hotels for more than a few nights. It makes choosing a hotel for a GLON that much more difficult!
