oh no. as you had the opportunity to choose whether you keep your points at hilton or transfer them, i don't see any logic in it. if anyone would be paying, it should be scandic as they're taking business away from hilton (as the reward stays with transferred points can from then on only be done at scandic).
i suppose it was just a fair deal as hilton sold scandic and had to give the scandic customers with the deal. (as most of the people who transfer their points are frequent scandic visitors...)

sadly enough there are a few people who have transferred their points even though they didn't mean to.. and so far they've all basically been told to...
