And that is why you read Flyertalk. Make your reward reservations now and if you don't make the reservations, at least start thinking about how you might use the points. If you don't use the rewards, you can always redeposit the points. I remember when the 100,000 points for 6 nights at any Hilton property went away and made several GLON reservations to lock in the old price. got some great deals.


an aside, it is only conjecture on my part that the categories are simply being renumbered to make opportunity properties into cat 1, but since the Waldorf awards are still there, that seems to make sense to me. I certainly hope they are not making some current cat 6's into cat 7's and doing away with all opportunity awards, even if I have only made one opportunity reward redemption in my life anyway.
