The latest round of Hilton HHonors point devaluations makes exchanging your HGVC points for HH points an (even more) awful proposition. Even the W 57th St 1:50 ratio makes little sense.
Hilton currently has 7 categories of hotel with Cat 7 requiring 50,000 points for a night. The new HH effective March 28, 2013 will have 10 categories with "seasonal rates" that reach 95,000 HH points per night.
For instance, I just booked the DoubleTree Suites on Times Square for New Years. It was 50,000 points per night. Under the new category structure it is 95,000 HH points per night. Almost double.
The average 2br Plat owner of 7,000 HGVC points will now be able to reserve 1 night in a standard room at a category 10 property if points are exchanged at 1:25.
Even the 5th Night Free is a worse deal than the previous VIP Award that it replaces.
