I have not seen any changes to Hilton's award structure except for the addition of the Platinum level properties and the increase in points required for a free airline ticket. I believe the points required for free stays is unchanged. JGill, have you seen something else?

I have already written a letter to Marriott Rewards expressing my displeasure with the changes. I am seriously considering changing loyalty to the new Starwood program. With no capacity controls, a generous 50% bonus for Gold members, and the extra 5K miles bonus for every 20K transferred, this is looking real good.
