Agreed. I just reached out to Marriott to see if they will do a match/challenge. Months ago I qualified for Diamond so I have no status motivation with Hilton for the remainder of the year.
When I can earn 3 free days from Marriott by the end of the year or gain enough from the HH promo to be 2/3 way to one stay at Hampton, the scales have starkly tipped to Marriott. Obviously Hilton is free to do what they want and they are making a business decision (as am I), yet I wonder if the benefit will outweigh the business they will lose. My guess is Diamonds and others may get a targeted promo if/when Hilton feels the pain of such a extremely flimsy Q4 Promo.
Seriously, would it have killed Hilton to at least give the 1k bonus for every night stayed???
