MyPoints = Hilton points
 

I know there are already some threads that discuss this issue but they are buried on unusal titles.

Just redeemed for 2,500 Hilton Points and after they took my points and just before I sent my Hilton account number this is the message that is posted.

To complete this transaction: Enter your Hilton HHonors number below and click submit to ensure that your Hilton HHonors information is recorded correctly. Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for the Points to appear in your Hilton HHonors account.

2,500 Points have been deducted from your account for this purchase

This is consistent with the amount of time my last redemption took. :td:
This is the NEW and IMPROVED MyPoints :confused:
It takes Erewards about 15 seconds to make this transfer. Go Figure :rolleyes:

1 day
 

Last time when I redeemed MyPoints for HHonors it only took a day. I think they just say 6-8 wks just in case.

Is this the best use of Mypoints?

It depends on one's needs. I think 5000 united miles for 10,000 mypoints ( or 2500 miles for 5000 points ) is a very good deal. I have done it few times. In the old days i always moved mypoints to hhonors and also got certificates for marriott reward points. But transfer to hilton is quick and an easy way to top off that account.

we're all spoiled by "1 day" turn around mypoints used to have. i think we're now in the "just in case" territory now. mine haven't been posted and it's approaching 4 weeks now.

That is very unusual because my transfers ( total of 7 since the re-launch )
have been posted to my hhonors account within 2 to 3 days.

My Hilton transfers have been taking weeks since they redid the web site. I'm at a month on the last one, and it still hasn't shown up in my Hilton account. Used to take one day or less.

I redeemed 2500 MyPoints for HHonors as well on 12/15/05. Still waiting... no response to emails.

Peace!

Been about 3 weeks for me...

My November Hilton redemption took 6 weeks. My December one hasn't posted yet. It's awful.

I agree :) The value is in how you can best use the reward. 1 airmile = 2 Hilton points in my mind. So both the Hilton Points and the Airmiles have the same value. It's how you enjoy the reward that counts.

Last month I flew First Class to the Big Island of Hawaii and stayed at the Hilton for 6 nights all free. Most of those points and miles came from charging everything on credit cards (Phone, Utilities, Groceries, gas, Prescriptions) and paying them off at the end of the month. Not one dime toward interest payments. A wonderful vacation for FREE :D
Free is a very Good price!

2,500 Hilton HHonors Points

Temporarily Out Of Stock

Out of stock???
It is not like they send out a cert!!
Mine have not posted either, and when I reply to their form letter, I get the same form letter back again about the 72 hours and the holiday. Is there any holiday periods in India that we don't know about?

Boycott Mypoints!!

Looks like almost all the good redemptions are OOS :(

I just redeemed for the 2500 Hhonors points, so they're back in stock.
