i'm so surprised that more people haven't heard about the Hilton program or the update points.

it's a good feeling knowing that so many of you are signing up and getting points for updating your profile.

awesome, isn't it?

we're taking a trip to denver next month and are staying at an Embassy Suites. $149/night, but i'm using 15,000 points for THREE FREE NIGHTS. free cocktail drinks every night (i don't drink, but it's still a freebie), free newspaper, and free HOT breakfast for EVERY person in the room EVERY day.

can't beat that.

also, you can transfer FFMiles to Hilton. 5000 AA miles = 10,000 Hilton points. for some of you that may be a better value than a FREE RT domestic ticket. if FFMiles are "worth" 2 cents/mile, 5000 miles = $100, but since you can get TWO FREE nights at a Hilton for a mere 10,500 it may be something worth looking into.
