If that's the case, they're still in trouble with almost everybody. The wording seemed to indicate your perception was accurate, but then the charts that went with the wording (and the examples that went with them) seemed to indicate that most hotels would keep their current categories. I'm hopeful for the latter. If Hilton would just get on the ball and let the award chart out, all this speculation could end.
On another note, the AXON award as it is now will become rather worthless. I can get the same amount of nights for 9,000 points + less a night. If they bump it up to include Cat 7 hotels and/or decrease the points needed, it will become a benefit again.
