Marriott also devalued in the past year--but I forgive them for two reasons (a) I am now getting a 50% Platinum bonus versus previously 30%, and (b) they have a lifetime elite program.
So for me it's adios Hilton. I'm just not going to be pacified with a free night having a rapid expiration--which as we all know, is pretty useless in and of itself. Most of us need at least two nights somewhere. I guess the idea is to force the user to redeem some additional points or pay in more dollars--and we all know who that really benefits....
