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.
This is the NEW and IMPROVED MyPoints
It takes Erewards about 15 seconds to make this transfer. Go Figure

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.

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.
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
Free is a very Good price!

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?
