Yeah, right... I would not buy a used car from the Gguard.. Did HH put you up to this charade? The point below represents how I feel about the OP's post:

Yep, I feel already motivated... Where do i sign up for union membership?
There is no reason why you should have to work twice as hard. Who in the world advised HH to make things worse for their customers during one of the worst economic downturns ever? A bad idea that competitors (e.g., IGH) are using to lure loyal customers away from HH. Leave the points where they were and work at your normal pace.. That will help your bottom line more than the devaluation fiasco.
