I've received another Hilton Honours Gold VIP card...and the first one they sent, last year, doesn't expire for another year!? The value of this card must be very close to zero if they can send them out willy-nilly to AP members. Also, it pisses me off that they send it to me in French, as a resident of Quebec, no doubt, they assume everyone in La Belle Province is francophone.
It seems that the real advantage to this card is that they let you double-dip in both the Hilton and AP points programs.
