I actively seek the best deal for myself at this time because of the devaluation giving me a wake up call. I will occasionally stay at Hilton properties, but the Hhonors program has little to do with my decision and thinking about the program makes me tend to stay elsewhere.

I think they really bungled it by calling reductions "enhancements". I would rather have a accurate presentation of the changes than double speak.
Companies don't value every customer. And those they do value are not valued equally.
