Sad news to wake up to.

Sorry to see the end of points + cash

​​​​​The new system will mean a much higher rate of points or cash required.

Plenty of opportunities for hotels to quietly move to a higher number of points with no bands. Bad idea Hilton! We will soon forget that a hotel used to be 20,000 points and is now 50,000 points.

This will devalue the points that we hold.

Amazon will only apply to the USA, so no benefit there.

I am unlikely to be giving away points, so no benefit there.

It would have been nice to see actual increased benefits for Diamonds such as late checkout, but I guess with constant giving away of diamond status to people year after year there are too many.

Maybe after many years of Hilton we have to accept that the benefits are dead.
