I think you're right. I just couldn't rule it out when I posted yesterday, having encountered the message shortly after cancelling my old membership (and clearing cookies but not changing my IP address).

That's wise advice, certainly for anyone who can live without being able to redeem for other airline miles. As others have pointed out, Hilton redemptions are still available and are a good option for many (and I guess some people value magazines and ski-lift vouchers). On the other hand, losing a flurry of members can't be good for e-Rewards marketing and just might prompt them to review the way they've handled this.
