I get that. The two sweet spots of Hilton points redemption for my personal and some business travel is the 5th Night Free and in season rates, mainly in FL, when rooms in the areas I'm traveling to are easily $200+/night and can be had for 30,000 points. Add in the occupancy tax savings and it's easy for me to still find value. I do agree the the PointsGuy in that Hilton is merely adjusting the points to be more in line with cash prices in a strong travel market.
