IMHO this is one of HH weak points. In the past, PS award dates are posted weeks, if not days before the next round begins. This Essentially means that July stays are difficult to plan ahead because current chart ends in June.

Obviously they dont want us to utalise points from the old chart.
Come on Hilton play the game fairly!!
We cant order international awards till 1/10/03 we cant order point stretcher after june-
At least Starwood made good on their changes.

It is tough to predict when/how Hilton will handle the next batch of point stretcher dates. In the past, they would announce the dates for the next 6 month period, e.g. Jan-Jun; or Jul. - Dec. They used to announce the dates a month or two ahead of time, but this past time, the dates for Jan-Jun '03 were not announced until Dec. 20. Given all the major changes to the hhonors program in the last 6 mos. or so, and the sometimes short notice or no notice altogheter, it is anyone's guess how/when the next batch of dates will be announced. I'd guess they'll announce them sometime late in June, but that's just a guess. It would be nice if they announced them a month or two ahead of time so that we could plan accordingly.

I just noticed this myself while trying to find a Point Stretcher reward for sometime in July or August. I was really hoping to book the reward the print out the certificate this week so that I could get it for the current redemption levels.

Yes I too find it curious it is not a "rolling" system of 3 or 4 months out - all the time. If they can do 6 months out end year, why not a rolling system?
Right now there are May (??!!) and June loaded, and nothing else.
But IIRC in December you can "see" 6 months out to June as well.
So back to thread title, WHEN do they load up July and on dates?

It's about time for the point stretcher dates to come out!!!
It does not make a good impression that they have not been able to update the website. Also, I hope they will come up with a more user-friendly way to check points stretcher dates than what they had so far...

They had one. Discontinued it a just a few years ago. 
It was a nice little printed pamphlet that used to list all the properties and dates, by country/state. Made it very easy to shop around and inspire you to pick a place to visit.
No more. Best they have now is that cumbersome and poorly formated "Fax Back" document.

International Hotels with 2nd Half Pointstrecher Dates (not including canada/mexico)
Outside of Canada & Mexico not a single Hilton branded property. I’m assuming (perhaps hoping) that Hilton International hasn’t posted theirs yet.

What I do not get is that before Xmas they load all months to June for PS awards. Yet come June, you can't see July on onwards for all hotels. It is hardly rocket science to have a 'rolling month' system - say 4 months out ahead all the time.

Well, I sure hope HIlton is not loaded yet. Could there really be ZERO London offers for the whole six months?
