Grandfather Gold/Diamond members in to the old structure or something, but don't slash the value of the points that your most loyal members and brand ambassadors worked to earn.
They should grandfather in people who EARNED gold and diamond. I feel that anyone that has 15 or so stays or 45 nights or 5,000 base points in the past 12 months should be grandfathered in or have a different redemption structure.
People who have gold status by having a Citi Reserve or doing four stays in a year through an MVP or other fast track and only have four or five stays a year at Hilton are not their most loyal guests and didn't work to "earn" the status.
Come on Hilton, let the people that stay in your hotels enjoy some R&R time in your properties for our vacation instead of giving away the points and status to CC churners.
