1. Hiltons are moving (or have moved, I can't recall) to rules under which a HHonors member gets points only for a direct booking or a booking done through a very few select partners. If they already have you captive, why give you more points?

What's the deal with this policy? I called HH today to find out if an Expedia rate I found at a Hampton qualified for points, and it didn't. The CSR said that no Expedia bookings will qualify for HH points.

With that policy, I might as well use Priceline and save even more money per night.
