You have the time warp machine that allows you travel into Apr 2014 to make a successful stay? I think we all love to hear that.

They got the hotels confirmations that the stays would be OK. The hotels better honor such when they finally arrive to make the stay. If the hotels eat their words, they could not rely on HHonor to fix that.

This time the program has a huge point devaluation. Last time it wasn't this big difference in point levels. That may make a difference.

For a location where substitute is non-existent or very difficult to find, the risk is too big for some of us to take.
All the data is there in the link I provided and you can answer your own questions if you had clicked and read.

The HHonors program didn't start in March 2013. People in years past have booked over a year in advance, and have completed stays without issue. No time warp machine needed.
