You go into your account from the main page now to do the upgrade, the /profile one hasn't been functioning for many weeks.
I'm on the main profile page now, I'll keep hitting refresh every few seconds until midnight because I don't want to miss one possible second of not hvaing the points (actually, I usually get them the ast day because I just never get to it).

Unfortunately, things are not as they initially seemed.
The bonus confirmation message still says 1000 points and the total points at the top of the page does initially show the addition of 1000 points after the profile update but when I logged out and logged back in, the total was only increased by 500 points. So it would appear that maximum update bonus per quarter is indeed only 1000 points, i.e. 500 points per update. I guess its no surprise but the programmers didn't quite finish the job.

Interesting thing happened. I logged on, changed the phone #, got the 1000 pt. popup and the total points went up 1000.
I logged out, logged back in, and total points is back to initial total.
So I logged out and in again, nothing has changed. I changed the email address, got the popup again and the total points increment 1000.
I logged out & in, point total is still 1000 up. I changed the fax #, and got no popup or point change.
The net result is that I got 1000 total points for my efforts. In line with what people said would happen, but a strange way for it to occur. Time was @ 00:40 CDT on 1 October.

It appears the Hilton programmers had a few too many...you do end up with a total of 1000 points (eg 500 points twice), although the messages that appear in the box say you are being awarded 1000 each. If you blink twice or thrice and go back and look at your total, you will see you got a total of 1000 pts for your 2 efforts to update.
