I just got a text saying I'd receive my 10K points after my first stay at either participating hotel. I call shenanigans... they are trying to back out of the original offer. I signed up via text at 1:16am on Tuesday.

WEAK. Oh well.

Got the same text just a few moments ago as well, but fortunately I checked and saw this welcome piece of info on my activity:

Just emailed back asking why they are reneging on their earlier offer. If they don't honor the original offer, it's going to have the exact opposite effect of a loyalty program.

I called at 11:27 am yesterday and spoke with Renee. I still don't see any points posted.
And now I received the text msg about receiving the points after the first stay at either participating hotel.
We should not let this slide. They are trying to weasel out of this one.

+1. This is just embarassing. What loyalty program uses a HOTMAIL account? Seems borderline phishy to me.

I also just received the txt about staying to receive the points, but checked my account and the 10k are already there. Here's hoping they can't retract the points!

Personally I am surprised they would run such a dumb offer predicated on a dial-in requirement, the phone lines are jammed - I get a "not in service" recording.
Basically this is now a 10k bonus for staying at a Hampton. Not bad, but I'm going to "unsubscribe" if they continue to spam text me (also pretty stupid). Does HHonors have any adults working there today?

Very shady to change the terms of the offer, that you now must stay at one of two properties, after so many of us had texted in yesterday with the understanding that we would receive the points by following the original instructions.
This reflects very poorly on Hilton.
