Final day of Hilton's 25 days of Winning

Today is the final day for Hilton's 25 Days of Winning sweepstakes.  For the last 3 and a half weeks they have been giving away a prize everyday, some noteable and some not so much.  For the final day of the promo, they have the grand prize for the sweepstakes and it includes the following:

ONE (1) DAY TWENTY FIVE GRAND PRIZE: Grand Prize Dream trip prize package. Prize package includes $15,000 that may be used by winner to design a trip of his or her choosing; $1,500 that winner can use toward air transportation for his/her trip; $5,000 in Hilton HHonors Gift Cards (terms and conditions of Gift Cards apply); and 500,000 HHonors Bonus Points (Bonus Points will be deposited in the winner's Hilton HHonors account. Bonus Points do not count toward elite tier qualification. Hilton HHonors™ membership, earning of Points & Miles™, and redemption of Points are subject to HHonors Terms and Conditions). Winner must complete the trip within one (1) year from the drawing date or prize will be forfeited. Trip must be booked at least twenty-one (21) days prior to departure. ARV: $26,500 USD.

Though I don't normally bother with sweepstakes entries (unless I get points/miles for entering) this seemed like it was worth the 30 seconds it takes to enter.

Did Hhonors Take Away Diamond Benefits?

Gary over at View from the Wing has concerns this morning over same changes to the Hhonors benefits page "Did Hilton Hhonors Steal my snack?".  This worried me so I took a look myself and it does appear that the wording for Embassy Suites has changed, from three snacks to two, not really a concern for me since I always took the points anyway.  The worrisome part was that the wording change on the HHonors website for Conrad / DoubleTree/ Hilton  on the Member Benefits page under Explore Hhonors.  This page indicates that you must choose between the free breakfast and 1,000 extra points.

The Hotel Benefits page under the My Profile section of the site (when logged in) does not show these changes and does not allow you to make a selection between the options. Additionally, a confirmation e-mail I receieved for a stay I booked yesterday afternoon shows all of the benefits and does not indicate that a choice is required.   

I think this is nothing more than a mistake that will be corrected.  As far as I can tell the Conrad / DoubleTree / Hilton benefits have not in fact changed.  We may have lost a snack at Embassy Suites, I don't really care as I prefer the points anyway.
