	A flexible pricing system will be implemented with the needed amount of points depending on demand and available rooms in a hotel. The maximum number of required points will not be higher than the current maximum amount of points needed for the hotel. This means, that the lowest amount of points will not be the same for hotels, which have previously been in the same category. See also the Hilton Honors Page.
Premium Rooms / Selected Suites	There is no given number, many factors are taken into account such a room rate and value of points. The aforementioned flexible pricing system will also apply for Premium Rooms and Suites. It might also happen, that like before Premium Rooms are discounted and cheaper than Standard Rooms.
Cash and Points	Hilton Honors members can now a flexible payment slider to choose any combination of min. 5000 points and a money portion to pay for their stay at any time wothout blackout dates. This means members have the choice to pay a certain amount of money and anything between 5000 and the maximum amount of required points for a certain hotel. Hilton Honors will earn base points on the cash part of the stay (which should not have happened under the old system).
VIP Fifth night free award	max. 20000 Pts	max. 40000 Pts	max. 80000 Pts	max. 12000 Pts	max. 16000 Pts	max. 20000 Pts	max. 24000 Pts	max. 28000 Pts	max. 32000 Pts	max. 38000 Pts
VIP Fifth night free award	Each fifth night is free for a reward stays of five or more nights, up to four free nights on a stay of 20 consecutive nights. In cases where the number of points required per night varies (e.g. if a stay includes peak and off-peak nights), the point value of the free night is calculated by dividing the amount of points needed for the award booking dvived by the number of nights in the stay. (Example: 6 night award stay with 3 nights for 40000 each and 3 nights for 30000 each, the calucation would be ((3 x 40000) + (3 x 30000)) / 6 nights = 35000. This would be the reduction, so the total needed points would be 210000 Pts - 35000 Pts = 175000 Pts. *Applies only for standard rooms*
