I think hilton is okay
I have been a hilton member since I was 13 years old. I am now 20 years old, and with only 5 stays, I am staying at the Cavalari Hilton for 6 nights. This would normally cost over $2000!!! So I love hilton honors, and you gotta love 10,000 point nights at Scandic hotels. I have two hilton credit cards, and occasionally transfer miles into hilton. It is true, it isn't as good as it was in the past, but the program for 6 night stays at level 6 hotels, is still a great deal for VIP members in my opinion.
Cheers
Timo
