Hilton are a sub par to poor brand on a lot of occasions. For your precious vacation time and money, there's no way I'd be booking them. Handy as you say for the odd nights here and there.

I think you'd be mad to factor plans to renew GGL at these crazy levels seeing as you've only just got it, and that was on reduced spend using Double TPs.

Enjoy life as Gold... possibly Silver and don't put your well earned money through BA !
