It is a slap on the face how Hilton devalued the program in 2018 - that is my point. I personally had a planned long stay I had enough points just a couple of days ago, and I can`t afford it now - "thanks" to Hilton silent devaluation. Obviously, if I knew it was coming, I would had booked it before devaluation. So much for being loyal. Not any more.

The other was the Hampton Inn, Cleburne, Texas. Stayed there on a 5K reward three years ago.

Have used several of the New Mexico 10K properties several times.

Still a couple of 5Ks in Egypt

you cannot possibly compare what hilton does to points vs spg or hyatt. The latter two probably maintained the same value over the last few years with very few adjustments (the linked bloody murder scream by a blogger over 2 - two! - properties going up is indicative of how unusual that is)... Hilton on the other hand seems to devalue at 10% annual rate.. we went from being 1c pt just a few years back to less than half cent/pt...

Exactly! Hyatt still has plenty of 5K properties, and they have had those for as long as I remember (7-8 years?), and those 30K Park Hyatt properties still have a great value of aprox $1K. With Hilton, it is 95K for Conrad Tokyo for much lower $ price, etc.

But again, my point of the Hilton silent devaluation is cutting off 5K properties without saying a word about it is a very bad practice.

I've added a wiki. Please add devalued properties as you find them.

Which properties doubled 10k → 20k?

Hilton points are being continuously devalued, as I am reminded every time I try to use them.

It's like Weimar Germany. Can the 1 million point AMEX sign-up bonus be far off?

per paul00 in the thread "Four New Hilton Perks":
"Reward nights at Hampton by Hilton Minsk City Centre in Belarus, DoubleTree by Hilton Melaka in Malaysia, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Ningbo - Chunxiao and Hilton Garden Inn Foshan in China, and Hilton Alexandria Corniche and Hilton Alexandria Green Plaza in Egypt have gone up from 5,000 to 10,000 points per night

Also, Hampton by Hilton Swinoujscie, Poland has gone from a maximum of 10,000 points per night to 15,000 points. Previously Category 2 was fixed at 10,000 points, while Category 3 was fixed at 20,000 points.

Standard room rewards at a number of properties in Russia have doubled from 5,000 points/night to 10,000 points/night:

• Hampton by Hilton Nizhny Novgorod
• Hampton by Hilton Samara
• Hilton Garden Inn Ulyanovsk
• Hilton Garden Inn Volgograd
• Hilton Salalah Resort, Oman
• Hampton by Hilton Krakow, Poland
• Hampton Inn Columbus Airport, USA - from 5K to 27-30K for Standard

​​​​​​​etc, etc. I recall some more jumps from 10K->20K, but I don`t remember those (one of the properties is in Singapore, if I remember correctly)
Keep in mind that Hilton devalues them in batches, so what is 10K today, might be much higher tomorrow.

You can find such a wiki in the Announcing Four New Hilton Honors Perks thread.

I'm certain that the Krakow property went up some time ago and several of the other properties listed also appear to have been raised a while ago.

Are there any properties that we can say with certainty actually increased award rates last night or is this just another thread for an ongoing trend?

Not a while ago, but beginning this January 2018. The most hotels jumped up within past week. paul noticed them on March 8, 2018, while I noticed on March 12 - 100% positive that those jumped up just recently. So you are wrong.

Unfortunately, many of us can't stay at one property for 5 days. That said, my first stay of 5 days will be later this month in NOLA. No reasonably priced condos available.

Okay. So some hotels jumped up in January and an entirely separate batch appear to have jumped up together in the last week.

Who owns SPG now? Oh yeah, that company that just devalued your points at 1,082 properties (I helpfully linked to it) and that's going to kill of the SPG program once and for all at some point relatively soon.

But hey, if you're getting great value out of Marriott, IHG, Hyatt or whatever, go for it, the programs aren't looking out for your interest, only you can do that. If you want to ditch Hilton for another program, be my guest. If you want to seriously argue that SPG is a good long term proposition... well.... okaaaay. If you think Hilton's some unique proprietor of evil, I submit you're not paying attention.
