That is the crux of the issue here. Hilton has a communication problem. Why let your loyal customers needlessly panic?

In your case, if you call Hilton's main CS line, they can tell you whatever you need to know. All the info is backed up, otherwise we all we be screwed.

So I would be more worried if it said, say, 328 instead of 80,328, rather than if it said zero.
You hit the nail on the head. When it says "0", its an IT issue every time.
