Hilton just allowed me to book a GLONP award even though I do not have the 150,000 points in my account. I was able to convince them that I will continue to update my profile and receive the 2000 points per quarter so they advanced me the points. I may be into them for the next 18 years, but what the hey!
Hilton is a wonderful company and their agents are so willing to please. All you have to do is ask them, and they are more than happy to do it!

I think that Hilton has just finally relented to an advanced understanding of physics.
Newtonian conceptions of time are just plain wrong. Time isn't linear. So, there's no reason that I should "wait" to update my profile in the future. There is no "future" as we normally conceive of it.
So, if you repeat the magic incantation, Hilton will let you do all of your quarterly updates at once.
Bet your high school physics teacher would be proud of your hotel stays!

I know that everyone is rushing to the defense fo gleff, but I am critical. He seems so avant guard and yet...
October Profile Update...that is SO three months from now.
If you were on the cutting edge you'd be hyping the January Profile Update.
Get with it!!

I believe that by setting the clock on the PC ahead you can fool the system into letting you do the updates for the future. I was only able to get to the year 2025, because that is all my system clock will go to. I have contacted the company to see if there is an update to the bios so I can continue to stack the bonus points, it took a bit of explaining, but they are going to put several people on it immediatly.
They actually laughed, saying the Pentium will never last that long, I reminded them about how mainframes were not supposed to last until Y2K, they are not laughing now.

Not only did I get it all the way to In The Year 2525, I wrote this neat little song about it.

This is the tragedy of oldies radio. All these long haired teeny boppers knowing all the GOOD music, yet never having to have endured the 1960s to do so.
One of the classic one hit wonder outfits.
