I'm The First!!
I didn't think I could be any more underwhelmed by Hilton this month but...
I just received an email with this subject line: "You're invited: Be the first to find out about the 1,000 Reasons promotion from HHonors."
a) I'd learned about this "promotion" weeks ago here on FT.
b) I already registered.
c) I've already moved all my nights for the quarter over to Marriott, and am 6/9 through my Platinum challenge.
I'm eternally optimistic though. I actually opened the email, thinking that maybe there would be some kind of unexpected bonus in there.
Nope.
Oh well, so far Marriott front desk people are much better at acknowledging elite status than Hilton - so this may turn out to be a long-term relationship.
