Yup, and that’s why I passed. HHonors has basically been a fraud like Skypesos since the great deval and elimination of award charts. Alas Bonvoy fka MR has chosen to follow suit at least for 90k max rooms.

The only feature tempting me to book Hilton rooms anymore are the free Gold breakfasts and those are worthless to me on expensed business trips so really only useful for leisure stays. And even then got nothing at WA 3 years ago.
