Bottom Line
Many of you likely status matched with Hilton recently, like I did. I haven’t used my new status yet but, am thinking about where I might want to redeem some Hilton points soon. If you are planning on staying in any of the 31 properties that are changing category, be advised of these changes coming July 13th.
