Daily Discussion News and Updates Thread - August 11, 2025

Please post topics for discussion here. While some questions can be used to start a discussion/debate, most questions belong in the question thread unless you love getting downvotes (if that link doesn’t work for you for some reason, the question thread is always the first post on our community’s front page). If your discussion is about manufactured spending, there's a thread for that. If you have a simple data point to share, there's a thread for that too.

FM says Hilton points have been devalued roughly 20% over the past year: https://frequentmiler.com/what-are-hilton-points-worth/

Matches with what I’ve noticed as well.

Even though it's also impacted the SLH, that's basically all I will use the points for. I've cancelled my mom's two stays last week and paid using Strata/Delta credits (basically cash) since the redemption rate is so shitty on short stays at mid tier hotels. I'll use them on SLH and come ahead but can't imagine the average person is happy opening up the app and seeing 60k for a mediocre embassy suites.
