1. Agree it was outrageously short notice from Hilton - note many UA staffers do not YET know about this so it was for sure HH pulling this plug with only a few hours notice.

2. There will be many FURIOUS Mileage Plus members tomorrow and in the days to come.

3. I always think posting something that affects lots of FT'ers is good on Miles Buzz even if it was in HH and UA forums. The proof is in the pudding - more posts on this here than anything in HH Forum.

4. There is precisely 53 minutes left to do this folks, and thereafter the Hilton door looks like it is closed.

5. This one might have even caught Randy by surprise? That is VERY hard to do, so maybe he already knew? Anyways He was cautioning just 2 days back not to rush into a HH transfer as the 'value' of points when in there is nowhere near as good as airline awards. (I totally agree).

6. This little incident gave me a wake-up call and today I am buying Randy's Award Guard insurance today.

7. Hilton pulled the Delta transfers only weeks back. Wonder if other airlines will be next? Could just be that Hilton thinks 2 for 1 transfers are not in their best interests anymore?
