Same applies to Turkey and Egypt, yet those countries have 5K properties as of now. Even more so, devaluing properties in Russia doesn`t make any sense whatsoever. I doubt they will go back to 5K after FIFA 2018.

That middle of nowhere City in the U.K. is in the top ten biggest cities in the country and boasts a university that is in the top 100 in the world.

cant speak for others but my post was to provide proper prospective on devaluation rate and overall approach to managing loyalty program at hilton vs spg and hyatt..
i do not know what marriott will do with spg but i have reasonable trust in hyatt approach and at the same time i am quite certain hilton will continue to devalue

I agree there is nothing new, but the ways the programme is devalued can be subtle and easily missed. So although there is constant concern I'm pleased that OP has called out this specific example ^.

Europe 2018 Hilton Honors 28 hotels at 5,000 points - Loyalty Traveler
The blog post seems like a good place to start from to get an idea of what has changed. There are a number of links in there to low priced Hiltons.
The increase in category 1 hotels at 5,000 points from 24 hotels to 28 hotels in Europe in 2018 is almost entirely due to 11 additional hotels in Turkey.
Since Hilton Honors is changing reward prices without notice in 2018 for many low level hotels, these reward rates are subject to change at any time.

I am not that concerned about the 5K or 10K properties. However, for the last three years or so I have tried to book a week on the beach at one of a handful of properties. I will check points needed and I am always 50K short. I will go earn some more and come back and I am still 50K short. I can not earn them fast enough to catch up with the inflation, particularly for something other than city or courtyard (parking lot) view at a beachfront property.

And we haven`t checked all 10K properties and haven`t started to check 15K and up ones. I guess Hilton though they could hide this silent devaluation and nobody would have noticed.

If I can ever sneak up on a week, I will burn the points and be done.
