What happened
Hilton announced the launch of Apartment Collection by Hilton in January, with the first property opening for booking on June 15 and a second on August 15. The earning rate for Hilton Honors members at this new brand is set at 5 base points per US dollar spent on the room rate. This is significantly lower than the 10 points per USD earned at most other Hilton brands, including its partner brands Home2 Suites and Tru by Hilton. The 5-point rate equates to roughly a 2% to 2.5% rebate in points, excluding any elite bonus points
