I am glad to report I managed to get a Standard Redemption at the CDG Hilton for the dates I needed. I'm now down to 347 HH points and don't plan to earn many more so all is good on my end.
So what are folks going to do with odds & ends of points? I'm sitting on 140K, which would formerly have gone toward GLON in London maybe but with the deval...guess I could use 'em for a night at a Hampton Inn in Topeka.
