Hilton needs to get on the ball here. The Marriott has posted their "PointSaver" awards for the winter of 2004. A fellow worker, and HH Diamond, was discussing strategies with me for 2004. He needs a three-day stay in Florida. Marriott can give him a stay at a category 6 for 78,000 points, while the Hilton is 117,000 points. This is for a June stay. Now he is booking hotel stays with the Marriott because he has a focused goal. He would stay with the Hilton if they were competitive The Hilton is loosing business because for the moment they are not competitive.</font>
It seems to me that it's a LOT easier to get 117000 Hilton points than 78000 Marriott points, particularly when you earn by staying at hotels.
