August 8th Update: Hilton HHonors Category Changes (1 hotel only), 8 new bonuses

A relatively quiet day to end off the week!

News, Tips & Tricks

Hilton HHonors announced in April that rather than having once a year
category changes for award nights at their hotels the changes would come
more frequently. We let you know about the first set of changes back in
July and now the latest change is out for August. The good news is that
it is only one hotel and that hotel is located in Florence, Alabama. I
of the mindset that this change shouldn’t really affect any of us here
in Canada unless, and that is a big unless, one of our readers does make
it out to Florence and decide to use their HHonors points there! I can
think of better places to the use the points…..
