Let me lift my skirts and show you the goodies for a second...

Last year, my status with Hilton was expiring [it could have been one of those "call and they'll make you Gold" things, but it wasn't]. There was this promotion (ACAQ) which got you 50K points after 4 stays.

So I did it twice -- two different accounts, and then combined them.

Those 8 stays got me 100K+ HH points, and a very nice Christmas vacation with my wife at the Cavalieri in Rome.

The moral of the story is ... if you're gonna play the game, you gotta get serious about it.
