Thanks all thus far! I have seen some of their site info now and must join the program at Hilton. (Now the other question is, of course, are there any bonusses to join HHilton and if so, what may they be? If they have a referral program, I will let myself be referred by any of you on here who have helped if this gains you points!)

Since I am not yet an HHilton member, I feel so... new to this one! Wow, brings me back to the early days of my own FF programs.
Yes, i know they take a while to post to the new hotel acct, but the funny thing is that my wife has EXCACTLY 5000 UAL miles... Exactly. Couldnt be better, I suppose, as she never flies them anyway.

I may have it so SHE signs up but I may also wanna try to see if I can put HER UAL miles into a new ACCT that I open at HH! I wonder if that will work?

Sorry for all the questions.
