Those were a fantastic value to be sure, but they were a needle in a haystack to begin with.
HUGE concern for me. I always use cash+points at the Tel Aviv Hilton, and I stay a week. In the past it's been 25,000 points and $125, now when I check it's 25,000 and $250... Over 7 days, that's an extra $875, or I have to spend 490,000 points! This change significantly impacts me in a negative way, I didn't even know about it until I happened across this thread....
It's a smart business move by Hilton no doubt, but it will move people like me into AirBnb when I travel for leisure.
