I received an email from them this morning, inviting me to donate HH points and stressing that Hilton will match my gift. Nicholas Kralev's article also now reports that "Mr. Diskin said the company will match customer donations up to $250,000". Congratulations on your part in helping focus attention on the difference between generous and ingenuous offers. This publicity obviously touched a nerve at Hilton. I received an email from them this morning, inviting me to donate HH points and stressing that Hilton will match my gift. Nicholas Kralev’s article also now reports that “Mr. Diskin said the company will match customer donations up to $250,000″.

Congratulations on your part in helping focus attention on the difference between generous and ingenuous offers.
