希尔顿积分池上线，现在就可以开始组建你的积分池了

好消息（感谢牧羊场一位朋友Zhuo提供的消息），希尔顿荣誉会的新增功能——积分池 Points Pooling已经上线了！点击这里进去设置你的积分池！

我们之前写过 Hilton Honors会在今年陆续实行新的政策（贬值），包括已经实施的新的积分+钱兑换引擎，和今天正式上线的积分池 Points Pooling 功能。

简单来说，就是你的账户里的积分可以免费即时的转给很多不同的用户了，这些用户必须事先邀请加入你的积分池。会员可以免费分享积分给最多10个亲戚和朋友。每个会员每年最多可以接收2百万积分，分享给其他会员每年最多50万积分。

有了这个功能，现在几个账户的积分可以合并起来，实现更贵的兑换了，零散的积分也不用担心用不出去了。

刚刚亲测了通过points Pool转给亲戚账户150,000分, 秒到账。

下面大致说一下流程：

1. 如果有N个人(N<12) 需要组建一个积分池 Points Pool，其中的任意一个人可以发起创建积分池，然后邀请其他的N-1人加入（如上图所示）
2. 被邀请的成员需要通过创建人的邀请邮件点击加入，进入积分池的页面进行操作；
3. 每一个人可以同时加入多个积分池；
4. 每一个积分池内，成员的积分可以互相免费转换，每个会员每年最多可以接收2百万积分，分享给其他会员每年最多50万积分，每次转最少1000分起；
5. 积分池里积分的转换是即时到账的，但是需要最多24小时才能在账户里看见积分的变动。

官网给出了具体的注意事项FAQ如下：
