+1 and let's not forget that they are also changing the earnings structure for the HH AMEX product in May eliminating the bonuses on drugstore and cable/phone/internet providers.

When are these changes going to take effect?
I have a bunch of reservations to be made for the end of the year.

These rates are absurd!!!! The "premium" rates will be even worse.
At least Hilton gave us all notice fairly early in the year so we can switch loyalty programs if we want instead of waiting until December to announce this.
At least bring back the diamond force for rewards stays at these redemption rates.

Well, I guess we have until March 28th to book stays at the current rates. Guess time to spend some points.

The hotel I am looking at went from 50k points per night to 80k points per night. Even with the 5th night free...that's pretty ridiculous.

Just as an example, I have an upcoming 10 night stay at the Conrad Maldives. Right now, it's 375K points. Under this new scheme, it would be 95,000 x 8 = 760,000 points with 2 nights free. Over 100% increase.
Outrageous.
I hasten to add: I am assuming that the fifth night free will replace the current VIP award structure.
