I think that the poster's confusion and his minimal post count which was solely confined to the subject thread where you read that, as well as his own doubts that he was speaking with a supervisor, point to this not being ended. Moreover, the discount is not very much over 4 nights at a Category 6 hotel.
If it is still listed as a benefit by AMEX, then I think that it is going nowhere.

Oh well, I tried 
! Perhaps EmAAx could ask friends/ relatives if they wanna stay 1 night free. Or close his folio & make the subletting guest put his own credit card on the folio.

If AXON goes, that seals the deal for me at Hilton. The last good reward going down the tubes.

I am the primary AMEX cardholder but my husband also has a card on this account and it varies slightly in the cardnumber. Right now he has more HH points in his account but the diamond desk made me take the points from my acct for the AXON as I am the primary card holder. Was this correct? Seems like he should be able to use an AXON award using his points too..
Can an authorized user of Amex Hilton use AXON award with his/her own points?
Or must it be the primary cardholder?

I have transferred the AXON to family members several times. The points came from my account but they put the cert in my sisters name; I even received a stay credit and points for their miscellaneous room charges.

Can I purchase the AXON7 with the no-fee AMEX Hilton, or just with the Surpass? And after the end of this month, is it really not going to be offered any more, as the post above says?

I booked an AXON7 award this week for my trip to BOS in July. Went through no problems.

I think the idea AXON will end this month is a false alarm, personally. You may request an AXON award if you hold either AMEX card.

I'm not sure. It may be true. If you look at the benefits of both hhonors american express cards AXON7 is no longer listed. It says a category 6 costs 145,000 points. http://www304.americanexpress.com/ge...Hilton-HHonors
as noted in the September 2011 thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hilto...ging-axon.html, some American Express websites list outdated AXON point costs (i.e., showing 6 as the top HHonors category).
