Awards Redemption
I see that the Hilton in Cyprus has a cat 1 reward.It is due to be raised in June.If I use the points prior to the june increase,can I book the hotel for Sept.and beat the increase.Looks like a decent property to use with the az trip.

You definitely can. I've done the same with the Hilton Strasbourg and also with a couple of Scandic whose award categories recently changed. However I worry what will happen at check-in when I hand over my points voucher.
