In 2008, I noticed that I been a casualty of the final divorce. I had been burned by the final split when somehow Scandic (in Copenhagen) managed to draw down Hilton points out of my account for stays where I had already presented Hilton award certificates in paper forum that covered those stays in 2007. Neither Scandic nor Hilton ever did me right for that blunder on their part despite my well-documented paper trail at the time. Don't recall how many Hilton points I lost because Hilton let Scandic draw down my account even after I had already had my account drawn down to get the proper paper award certificates (with certificate numbers) to use for at least a dozen Scandic Copenhagen room nights in 2007.
