There used to be a link running around somewhere that made it available to all. What am I missing here? I've been sitting on about 150k Hilton since their severe deval a few years ago... I'm hard pressed to even find redemptions worth about $0.005 making the value of 85k $425. Hardly a bonus to get excited over?
It depends. I used points last year to stay at the Phx Pointe Squaw Peak (horrible name...) last December. The "resort" is old and by many standards, "meh."
On the other hand, a suite at Squaw Peak offered holiday workspace for my spouse and I, outdoor fun for my 5 year old, and a chance to mellow out away from the family holiday madness. In my situation, Hilton points are valuable because there are fun properties near my young family. Of course, I eyeball the SPG properties in the area too....
