Meh - you are being too cynical! Just let the new programming team, hired from Delta, do their work and let their new audit team, hired from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, do their quality control review.

On the positive side:
Doubletree Shanghai Pudong: 40k (before) ; 25k (now)
Conrad Seoul: 60k (before) ; 44k (now)
Conrad Tokyo: 80k (before) ; 59k (now)
Palmer House Chicago: 50k (before); 23k (now)
Hilton Mauritius: 50k (before); 41k (now)
This is not too bad, actually. It's rather a rate adjustment which is much closer to actual daily price than a mere devaluation. The downside is it's getting more difficult to get a point worth more than 0.6 cent $, but on the bright side a point won't be less than 0.5 cent $ worth.

If Hilton wants Hilton Honors to be nothing more than a form of restricted cash back, many of its customers would be better off going for something less restricted in its value -- something like actual cash back. Are we there yet? Not so sure.

When redeemed Hilton points are fundamentally worth no more than a fixed cash amount per point, the point of collecting the Hilton points -- at least via partner activity or where partner point alternatives are relatively more valuable -- gets undermined and a replacement option makes more sense than would otherwise be the case.
