If that is indeed the end game and I pay a higher premium during the correction period, I am all for it. @:-)
Nice point.....but there are many of us I'm sure like myself that were saving their points (1.5M) for future dream vacations. I stay 75 nights at hilton a year (as they say here "BUTT IN BED"). They can make their changes....going forward!!
Don't devalue points I earned sometimes for stays at higher rates than other hotels just so I could keep my Diamond status!!
I strongly feel they should have rewarded loyal Hilton patrons with some sort of equitable adjustment on accrued points.
My example: -- if you earn interest on a bank account and the interest rate goes from 3% to 1%, they don't go back and retro actively take all the intest you earned at 3% back.
Bad buisness and "CORPORATE GREED" is the only way to explain this.
