I don't know if this is much consolation, but if you still have your signup miles and didn't get a chance to transfer them to Hilton, it appears that you can order a Hard Rock Cafe gift certificate for use in Mexico only. I don't know what the note at the bottom means - "Notes: Only flights on Mexicana/Mexicana Inter routes will be counted for Award Certificates as from July 15, 1997". Anyway, it may be worth a try:
