I stay a lot in scandics every year, when Hilton is out it will make it less atractive to stay at scandic, unless they improve a lot. now the only notable diff betwen blue and gold is the f&b vouchers (which i almost alays must ask for to get) upgrades almost impossible and so on. I would say they offer no extra service to loyal customers.( or maybe im just unlucky)
So upgrade for gold/dia or points as hilton do it, would be nice
And as expected when new owners, prices went up

What will happen with the points? Will you get to choose Hilton or Scandic? Will they be transfered to Scandic if you are based in Scandinavia? If thats the case, will Hilton match the points? What partners will Scandic have? Will you be able to redeem Scandic points outside of Scandinavia?

They say that points you have at hilton can be transferred to the new program, and that they will match status you have.
I think they will provide more info in september, last mail said so

Many Questions Remain Unanswered
Well, it might be nice if we knew the following:
1). What are the tier categories for SPECIFIC Scandic hotels under the new program?
2). What is the conversion value of HHonors points to Scandic points?
3). Must we convert all our HHonors points into Scandic points? -- I am loathe to choose the conversion scenario for just that unwelcome surprise!
4). Are the Scandics in Belgium, Italy and Germany staying in the chain or are they converting to Hilton Garden Inns (and I believe I read somewhere that the Bari property is so converting!)?
