My account shows the same increase. Points creep is everywhere!

Can't say I'm surprised though. 7K for $100 was something of an outlier compared to the other hotel redemption options.

I checked my wife's account - she still has $100/7K HH rate. Maybe her account is older than mine, I don't see another reason why is that.

I'm also still at $100 for 7,000 HH points. If that ever changes, I will seriously rethink whether to continue playing in e-Rewards' sandbox. And I've been playing there since e-Rewards started.

My account is now showing $125/7000 .. I don't usually cash in for Hilton..

My husband's account, which he does use for Hilton...also went up to $125/7000. He just cashed in $50 the other day...

I'm now at $125/7K even though the only thing I've ever cashed out was for Delta miles.

Mine (& rest of household) crept up to $125 also, I'm at $116 and was planning to cash in $100 for 7K today. Did the math & the $75 redemption for 4500 HH pts is now the best rate at 60 HH pts/$. the $125 option is now 56 HH pts/$ (down from 70).

It seems to me that the accounts originally sponsored by HH still have the $100/7 K option. At least mine does. Others can share their experience.

DH and I both (Sponsored by USAir) redeemed $100 for 7K HH on a few days ago, now both accounts show a redemption rate of $125 for 7K.

The Starbucks cards look like good value. Would you guys agree? $145 e-rewards for $50 card?

On a $ per point basis, yes, it's better to redeem the $75. However, is it still true that you can only redeem this award once every 3 months? If so, to maximize your total HH points, it's better to do the $125 option (assuming you get more than $125 every 3 months).

Still, this stinks. tls

Rats. When I last checked a few days ago, the option was still for 7k HH for $100. Now that I am closing in on the redemption, 48 cents to go, it jumped up to $125. Grumble.

I signed up under Delta and my rewards redemption options are still offering 7,000 Hilton for $100.

That's what I use mine for.

I'll add to that as well as I was "invited" by HH and I'm still at $100/7,000 (for now)
