Hilton said when they announced the Honors 'enhancements' that the maximum point cost of properties would not (at least initially) be higher than the pre-modification maximum points price. I can't believe that Hilton wouldn't try to slip in some kind of devaluation with changes to their program. But the only one I thought they might use is to take the highest pre-modification point cost (which previously varied seasonally for most properties) and use that as the new point cost. The kind of jump Kat mentioned would either make liars out of Hilton or the jump arose from an error in the new program's IT. Given that Hilton's IT is generally held together with chewing gum and tape, I tend to think that is the issue with a property going from 5k/night to 30k/night - at least until I see otherwise. (As a side note the 5k/night properties in Egypt and Jordan are superb. We spent Christmas there on points.
