I have stayed in the past at some "Hilton" brand hotels that did not honor points or credit you for stays but those were rare. HGVC/HC member have been complaining for the last several years that given the reduced value of HH points the conversion of the HGVC/HC points to HH points is now basically loose loose situation. With this new "perks" plan it now looks even worse!
Never use just one example. And without much background info, it's hard to say if there was an apples-apples comparison, a glitch, or whatever...
FWIW, I've seen situations like that in NYC hotels quite often in the past, especially Sunday nights when rates then to be low. It wasn't hard to find deals where it would cost $100 for the room, or P&M of $109 + 24,000 points, for example.
