I have no issues with Hilton properties. What I don't understand or seen (maybe I don't know where to look) is what are Gold benefits going to be 2019 and forward. Free breakfast? Lounge access? Upgrades? Free coffee and water? These are the things going forward in retirement that will mean something. If it's just a bump in points earnings, what good does that do you when your not traveling a lot anymore.
