Why the dog pile on USFLYER999? gleff's was a silly, timewasting post from the start and RDY3238's subsequent lecture was itself the epitomy of uncool. Come on folks, this is a terrific forum from which we've all benefited. Let's not clutter it with valueless posts.</font>

Looks like the gig is up, at least partially. E-mail just in from HHonors indicates that the profile update bonus will be cut down to 500 points (twice) come October 1st.

With the update bonus lowered to 500 x 2 points quarterly, we'll actually have to do some online hotel booking!
It was nice while it lasted.

Yep, I got the bad news in an email as well. For those of you who didn't get it, here is the exact wording:
"Members may earn a maximum of 2,000 HHonors profile update bonus
points per calendar quarter through September 30, 2002. As of
October 1, 2002, members may earn 500 HHonors profile update bonus
points with a maximum of 1,000 HHonors points"

500 miles? We might as well have a Goldpoints update thread!
Uhh.. how often can we request quotes from Skymilesautobuying.com and vehiclemiles.com?

I hate to wade in on this post with a serious question, but could someone please tell me the address for updating your Hilton profile? I thought it was http://www.hiltonhonors.com/profile, but this merely redirects to the main homepage.
Similarly, I was sent an offer of 1000 points to change my PIN. Despite following the link in the e-mail and changing my pin, nada points.

I think the url was: www.hiltonhhonors.com/profile but it still goes to the main page. Probably part of the programming change for the profile point reduction. It was a good run while it lasted.
