A GLON is an award entitling the member to a free 6-night stay at almost any HHonors hotel in the world. Until May 31/2003 it cost 100,000 HHonors points. Now it costs 150K points & is called a GLON2.
Some hotels, very elegant &or in expensive high-demand cities or resort areas, were called Premium in the old chart or Level 6 in the new. These require a 150K-point GLONP (old) or a 175K GLONP2 (new.)
An ALON is the Aloha cousin of the GLON.
BUMP means that someone wants to revive an old thread by pushing it to the top of the recency pile.
