I am more than tires about these threads. We had them in the IHG forum, in the SPG forum and now in the Hilton formum.
So what?
everything is getting more expensive. Hotel get more expensive, we get more points and the point rates have to increase too. So what? I know, the first very bright poster will now argue that that the rates in the Springfield Hilton went down. They did, because the US is sufferering from its past mistakes. And the rates in the Springfield Hilton went even more down in a strong currency like the AUS$ or the Euro. Given the decline of the USD and the USD linked Hilton points currency, it is not a surprise that these rates go up too.
